This should really be 4.5 stars; my bf and I had a pretty good brunch here this Sunday.
We decided to try this place out because we didn't like the half hour wait at Sarabeths across the street.
Everyone was nice and professional from the host who welcomed us with jokes and gave tips on how to guarantee getting a seat at any restaurant, to the wait staff.

As soon as you're seated, you get some water and bread (baguette and raisin bread) with butter and preserves. We opted for the prix fixe brunch and got the French toast (the fresh fruit was a nice touch) with pomegranate champagne and the short ribs with coffee. We were both stuffed and forgot that the meal came with dessert but still opted to try the tiramisu. Everything was delicious and was adequate fuel for our day at the museum!!

Few qualms: the menu listed toasted 7-grain bread, but the shirt ribs came with corn bread. Also, the menu on the website lists the brunch prix fixe at $18, but it's $18.95 on the menu in the restaurant. Would be nice if all menus are up to date.

Seafood Risotto was delicious!!!! I'd come back again just for that! My wife and eggs in a basket with smoked salmon and freshly squeezed OJ. Delicious!! Great gem on upper east side walking distance from Guggenheim museum!

This place is racist and stereo types there costumers.
I entered the restaurant and waited for approximately 6 minutes to be seated.
Shortly after i walked in 2 elderly white ladies walked in after me and they got seated right away. I asked if they realized that i was waiting too. After getting a table everyone who walked in after me got served water and received a menu. I had to ask for a menu and water was given to me with an attitude.
I wondered if i did anything wrong upon entering, but i knew i didn't. I then asked to get a lunch special menu since they didn't give it along with the regular menu, the bus boy said they were busy and i have to wait. BTW everyone else got a lunch special menu. I then realized that they didn't care for me to be a costumer. I am a young 30 year old who walked in wearing scrubs since i work in the medical field. I didn't shave so i had a minor beard. I didn't think it would make a difference for professionals to treat there costumers appropriately but unfortunately this place got a big huge disappointment in my book. I would like the manager to know that there staff is unprofessional and racist to there costumers and they have just lost a good tipper who BTW works right around the corner. I will make sure that my staff and others i know will not eat there anymore unless i get an apology from the staff and manager.

Small gem on the UES. Had a lovely brunch here. Going to try dinner next time. Very cozy place, good service and reasonably priced. Food is very delicious and looks awesome.

Just discovered this petite treasure for lunch while wandering the neighborhood. Where else can you order an airy cheese souffle with ham. Liked it so much for lunch the first day, we came back again the next day. Does a nice take away business at lunchtime as well
