"Come to The Noortwyck if you want a brunch experience that skews more grown-up than rowdy. This restaurant has a nice, relaxed atmosphere and serves food that tastes like it has a graduate degree in haute cuisine. Brunch items include honey cardamom toast with pineapple marmalade and a breakfast sandwich with aged cheddar mornay, and we highly recommend going for the "all of the above" option when it comes to the sweet section of the menu." - bryan kim
"Opened in June 2022 by British chef Andy Quinn and co-owner Cedric Nicaise, this Greenwich Village restaurant delivers elevated yet approachable cooking with an emphasis on everyday comfort; dishes include seeded Parker House rolls, white asparagus cacio e pepe, linguine with clams, and striped bass with saffron gnocchi. Critics praised its high-level, precise technique and 'EMP-level' ambition at a fraction of the cost, with a New York Times two-star review noting the chef’s exacting, minimalist sensibility. The operation of roughly 40–45 employees has navigated pandemic-era staffing shortages and rising ingredient costs that forced role consolidation, but the team intentionally focused on grounded hospitality rather than chasing Michelin stars." - Melissa McCart
"The Noortwyck manages to get us excited about a menu that calls itself New American. Even their most basic dishes get unexpected accents, like raw oysters with seasonal garnishes like cherry and raspberry or pickled shimeji mushrooms. And despite the fact that this isn’t an Italian restaurant, their pasta is some of the best in the West Village. (That’s saying something.) The space is casual enough for after-work drinks, yet special enough for a birthday dinner. Be sure to save room for dessert." - bryan kim, will hartman, sonal shah, molly fitzpatrick
"Excellent neighborhood restaurant the Noortwyck from chef Andy Quinn and sommelier Cedric Nicaise — who met while working at Eleven Madison Park — features a standout wine list and a bistro menu for a range of appetites that works well for Monday dinners. Consider the Parker House rolls and the crudo as well as a lively kale salad with gouda and toasted pine nuts. In a nice surprise, the entrees might outshine the starters from the Duroc pork chop to the bucatini with ramps and white pepper. There’s also the roast chicken for two in an Albufera sauce." - Melissa McCart
"The Noortwyck comes from Eleven Madison alums British chef Andrew Quinn and sommelier Cedric Nicaise. It’s a standout neighborhood restaurant that’s quick to bestow budding regulars with top-notch service. For dinner, seats at the bar are stupendous for trying unusual wine pours and for mains that nearly outshine the very good appetizers. During brunch, there’s a mix of savory starters — oysters, kale salad — and sweets, like the honey cardamom toast. For mains, consider the short rib fried rice, the rigatoni with white asparagus, or the breakfast sandwich on a Japanese milk bun. Cinnamon rolls or cranberry white chocolate scones are also available. Brunch is 11 a.m. to 2:30 p.m." - Melissa McCart
