Amazing amazing! We came for a later Sunday brunch and were able to sit outdoors right away. We got drinks to start - I got the guava margarita and it was delicious! A bit sweet but still great. The wild son sangrita was also very good. For entree, I got the chicken sandwich and it was amazing in all senses. Very crispy and not dry. The arugula was perfect and so was the herby aioli. It comes with potato chips which were lackluster (like Lay’s), but the fries were absolutely perfect. They were crispy on the outside and hot!

Amazing brunch! definitely get the Good Morning Sunshine Sandwich! The corncake with blueberries was awesome too! The last time I went they put new items on the menu and took the corncake off but I got the Good Morning Sunshine again. Cocktails are awesome too. I grabbed a salad and a dirty martini there before meeting a friend for dinner and they were delicious as well. Great menu, great staff, you won’t be disappointed!

Went here for brunch. The food selection was a good one. Everyone was able to get something they loved. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Would recommend this for nice brunch spot.

What a wonderful young crew. It is simply a culinary experience from the minute you arrive to this relaxed atmosphere you are greeted and all your expectations are met. It is a healthy journey with an exotic kick especially when you order their Bloody Mary. Serves wonderful traditional but exceptional Breakfasts, untraditional Lunches, happy Happy Hours, and unforgettable Dinners. I recommend that if you go on a weekend you try to get there off peak. Otherwise you will have a long wait. The weekend experience is not as relaxing and fun as during the week. Again try and get there before or after the lunch crowd. It is worth it no matter what.

The place used to be much much better before covid 19. The menu is limited and has fewer items than before. This place is definitely on the pricey side of the spectrum. Nothing special than any other brunch spot. I was very disappointed by the pancakes as having tried before covid they were a 100 times better. The drinks were so so

We enjoyed having a brunch here so much! We had a chicken sandwich (tasty and very peculiar, I had never tried it that way), and pancakes, they came in a huge portion. The environment is friendly and staff welcoming and smiling. Positive vibes in the meatpacking district. I would suggest to visit the district and then have a brunch here, definitely worth it.

One of the best brunch spots I’ve been to in a while in NYC. Luckily they’re not reviewed by infatuation so you can still get in. The food is great and it’s very cozy. I loved the kale salad. The good morning sunshine sandwhich is a must. Also love that you can get one pancake by itself - can never go wrong with a pancake.

cute little lunch joint with mostly counter space but had good vibes and played some good music. stopped by for a quick breakfast before work. this was the best breakfast sandwich I've ever had!! - service was quick and friendly, they brought out food very quickly - good morning sunshine breakfast sandwich: must try! the brioche bun was perfectly toasted and the pulled bacon was crispy, fatty, and flavorful. the meat was perfectly offset by the creamy and fresh avocado, as well as the other veggies.
