Great brunch place - could improve server knowledge!

by rwb7171

Loved the food, but not the service/reservation system!

We ordered poached eggs and French Toast, and the portions were huge! Prices were reasonable too, especially for a highly-rated, hip New York restaurant.

Made a reservation online wherein I was told 11:30 wasn't available but 11:00 was so we rushed to get there. Funnily, it was half-empty when we got there at 11:15. Not sure what to make of that.

My gripe with the service was the server's knowledge. I had specifically asked for no bananas in my French Toast, and the server said sure. Minutes later, my first bite of chocolate-stuffed French Toast, and there it was - banana! To make it worse, the server now said it was part of the pureed mixture inside so could not be removed. I doubt they came up the recipe since I had placed the order, so shouldn't the server have known that?

  • Pros: Good food, decent prices
  • Cons: Uninformed server, questionable reservation system

Great food

by winterdaisy

I really liked the food. Everything we ordered was good, from the barbeque flatbread appetizer to Mac & Jac. Food is VERY filling and has lots of cheese, so you might want to order a vegetable side, like sauteed spinach, to balance it out.

  • Pros: unique twist on food
  • Cons: waited 20 minutes although I had a reservation

by sera8218

Stopped in here and tasted their homemade pasta- TO DIE FOR!!

Next time I want to cook Italian food for guests- this is where I will get my supplies.

SO FRESH, so Tasty and such HIGH QUALITY.

What more could you want for an Italian cheese/pasta shop?

tired of the treatment

by elmothree

Every time I went there with my children, we were stuffed into a back corner near the kitchen. My 2 daughters, aged 12 & 9, have been eating in fine restaurants their whole lives, in the U.S. & Europe & know how to behave. They don't need children's menus. So why are we automatically stuffed into a back corner 'away' from everybody??? I am sick of the staff at Eatery assuming my children are ill behaved. It's really too bad, because the girls request going there as they love the food, but I will not take them as I have been stuffed into that corner enough. Eatery had several chances.

But if you do go, please do yourself a favor & order the blueberry lemonade.

  • Pros: excellent food & drink
  • Cons: treated poorly

Hells Kitchen Gem

by sarahg212

My friends and I had a great dinner here. We are in our mid twenties and fit right in to the rest of the crowd. The menu is very unique and there is a wide variety of things to choose from (I was with two very picky eaters who were able to find something they'd eat). The ambiance is really cool and everything is reasonably priced. This was my second time and I'll definitely be back.

  • Pros: Great food, nice atmosphere, reasonable prices
  • Cons: Pay for each pop you drink, not unlimited refills

Perfect Venue for Sunday Brunch

by GourmandizerNYC

I had walked by ?E? at least 20 times before my niece and I finally decided to walk in. We were greeted by a friendly host and seated immediately. Within minutes, we were offered drinks, and the great service did not stop there. The food was excellent and reasonably priced (especially for a trendy, hip, NYC restaurant) and the menu, diverse. The wait staff knows the menu inside and out, and they were able to answer all my questions about their unique sauces. Never was my water glass empty, or was there an empty dish cluttering the table. Since my first visit, I have gone back several times. Sunday brunch is definitely my favorite (I would recommend that you get there early - word has definitely spread), but I also enjoy sitting at the cozy bar just for a cocktail.

  • Pros: Service, Food, Sunday Brunch
  • Cons: none that I can think of

Great place for brunch

by chenka

One of the best choices in Hell's Kitchen for brunch. Not your usual menu selections. It tends to get a little noisy so make sure you get there early.

  • Pros: Interesting menu, nice decor
  • Cons: Long wait on weekends
