I came here for a birthday brunch. They were able to take reservations for our large party of 18, and gave us the prefix brunch menu, including two drinks and an entree for $18. There was an option to pay another $10 for bottomless. They didn't have a birthday special but allowed us to bring in our own cake at a surcharge of $2 per plate. The service was a bit unorganized, and some of our party was finished with their food before others had received there's due to the small kitchen and mix up of orders. I got the steak and eggs, asking for medium rare but it definitely came out medium well/well done. The presentation was also very lacking. Other options were standard options with a focus on pizza but nothing special. Apparently our alcoholic drinks were comped but the non alcoholic drinks (coffee and juice) wasn't. When we went back to complain about the extra charge, they said they only charged the drinks for people that didn't get the brunch special, but that wasn't the case. The free bread was pretty decent but it was really the Olive oil that made it excellent.

I was juggling in between a 3 or 4 star rating but as the taste/quality of food and ambiance are the most important things to me (which Three of Cups does well) I decided on the latter. In their defense, my standard was set extremely high. This place is on almost every nyc boozy brunch list you can get your hand on for at least the past two years. The atmosphere was bustling, spacious and can accommodate large parties. We had a reservation and were seated right away (a plus being busy brunch hours) . Though the staff was kind, when we had their attention, It took some time for our order to be taken, and a very long time for our food to get to the table. The mimosas.. let's just say I've had a lot better and getting the servers attention to get refills was tedious because of the great deal of focus being put by all the servers in our section on the party of about 15 next to us. The food itself was great though presentation is nothing to rave about. Highly recommend the French toast or steak and eggs.

Brunch was great. My steak was cooked the way I liked it, eggs nice and scrambled, potatoes nice and soft, and the waiter kept the Mimosas coming. First time going with a friend from the Netherlands, and they loved it. Thank you for not disappointing, Can't wait to go back.

I organized a baby shower/brunch for my wife and her friends. The manager, Anthony, was really nice and helpful. All 20 guests liked their food and some of the guests were gluten free, vegetarian, or some other debilitating eating disorder. They managed to satisfy everyone. Brunch and two drinks for $17?!? Don't think you'll find a better deal in the city. Definitely not in the village. Highly recommend this place. Pizza looked really good too...will try it next time.

I went there on a Sunday for brunch. Staff was nice and they had a very reasonable price. If you get there too late you will have to wait for a table. I just loved the French toast I had! The size was quite generous as I wasn't able to finish it by myself :) For a fixed price we also got some drinks to go with the brunch. I highly recommend trying the mimosas!

The food and atmosphere is excellent. The place looks much smaller from the outside but once you go in there is a lot of seating. I love the wood-fired pizza oven, the smell of the wood burning creates a homey atmosphere. The service was a bit under-par. We had a party of 4 this past Sunday, and our waitress kept bringing out the wrong dishes to our table which were actually for the table next to us. It was fine, but we had to keep telling her that it wasn't for our table. I had the penne a la vodka, and it was really good. My friends ordered other pasta/seafood dishes, and we ordered a small personal pizza as an appetizer for the table (it was great). I highly recommend this restaurant for parties of 4 or less, and it would be a good date spots.

Very friendly bar staff, great selection of drinks and delicious pizza. Got the truffle and sausage and tried them together for a perfect combo. Bartender was so friendly as to let us place drinks orders before end of happy hour and pour them once we were done with the ones we were drinking. Would definitely recommend.

Went for brunch and tried their french toast and open faced omelette. both were goodish-greatish, but nothing so memorable that I'd remember the exact taste weeks later. The meal did come with unlimited coffee and mimosas. I'm barely a coffee drinker, but I could tell it was decent quality. And the mimosas are made strong, so they get points for that. They have outdoor seating but I chose to sit inside because the place has some distinct character to it that I felt attracted to. I'd go back to try their take on a breakfast, scrambled egg pizza.
