What People Are Saying About Hundred Acres
The Editor
Kathleen Squires

In Short – Longtime locavore Marc Meyer knows his way around the farmstead, and this spot offers another outlet for his locally sourced gourmet inspirations. Wood-paneled walls, a subway tiled-bar and a sunny back room with potted herbs and rural paintings manifests an American Gothic atmosphere. The menu changes daily according to greenmarket availability, but expect wholesome fare such as pasta with walnut pesto, crawfish with bacon, cheddar-topped burgers, tempura-like asparagus "fries" and homey butterscotch pudding.

Skip this "Brunch" Place!

Avoid this place if you can! I made a reservation for two for Christmas Day....We called, made sure the restaurant was open and made it for 12p on the 25th. Additionally we called back, just to check on something with the menu. On the 25th, we show up to find the restaurant is not open, and we were there promptly at the correct time. Out walked someone, who ended up being the restaurant owner. He said we are closed today. I said that I made a reservation for two at 12p. He said we are never open on Christmas. So he basically gave me his name and told me if I came back he would personally take care of us. Low and behold, I called back to make another reservation, spoke to the owner, and basically I was told that it was impossible that Hundred Acres could have made a reservation on Christmas Day, he was completely un-apologetic and refused to except blame for the error. There are many other great places to go for brunch in NYC, skip this one!....
- Pros: Wouldn't know -- they never honored my reservation
- Cons: Incompetent people answering the phone taking reservations

great all round meal

We went in not knowing what to expect having seen the outside a while back and very much liking what we saw. It was for a birthday and there were six in our group. The staff were extremely attentive and seemed to know the menu unside out. The wine list (one of our party considers himself quite the wine expert) was extensive and offered great value. We went through a fair few bottles ourselves as couldn't make up our collective minds on a few of the choices so often settled for both instead. The deviled eggs and chicken liver mousse were delicious and we'd particularly recommend the wreckfish and the blue fish for mains.
If you're looking for good value and relaxed atmosphere with great service we'd highly recommend this place. (The birthday cake was soooo good!)

New favorite place

My husband and I went here for dinner on our anniversary. The food was wonderful. I had the fried chicked (delish!) and my husband had the swordfish (melted in your mouth). The service was impecable. We frequent Five Points, which has the same owners, and they had a record of that being our anniversary. When we sat down they brought each a glass of champagne.
Try this place - you will not be dissappointed. I can't wait to go back!
- Pros: Romantic, great food
