My favorite find

by thescientistlady

I can't say enough about this place. Its been my favorite brunch spot for years. Every time I bring friends they are always impressed by the food and the decor. And the coffee is soo good, seriously much better than any other american spots. So needless to say I go whenever I'm in the states for brunch/lunch food but I only recently tried dinner. I was so impressed! They had a authentic jazz band and the meal was INCREDIBLE. Not to mention I sat next to Claire Danes!! What an evening! ...This place is highly recommended!

• Pros: Everything!! Best find thus far!

BESTEST BRUNCH!!!

by katelopez

SO, I heard about this place, that "supposed" to have the best brunch ever. We show up and I at first was not impressed with the decor and all. But I was impressed on how busy it was and the cosiness of the place. We had to wait about 10 minutes to get a table, so I had a cup of coffee at the bar which was perfect. Furthermore, I was impressed with the waiter and the amazing food. Everything was fresh and perfectly balanced for a great hearty breakfast/lunch. I ordered the eggs benedict, their special french toast and brownie a la mode. Alot huh? but I couldnt resist. I will definitely be going back!!!

The last authentic place in soho

by csmooth

This place is great--I've been going for years because it is one of the few places that have not changed since the 80's. The ambiance is classic and its staff nice, handsome, and fashionable. Most worthy of note are its excellent weekend brunches (and its bloody marys) and its Wednesday Night Middle Eastern Night--- the latter is hardly contrived--- in fact the owners come from that part of the world, and the proof is, indeed, in their hummus.

On normal days I like the Tahini Chicken and Skirt Steak-- the best brunch items are the omelettes-my favorite is the spinach feta- and the eggs benedict.

Contrary to what this site says, the Cupping Room is very romantic--however in this capacity I'd say drinks are more suitable than dinner. Also, if you're fortunate enough to live in the neighborhood there doesn't exist a better "local joint'" in the world..
