Full disclosure: I haven't eaten at many brunch places in NYC but I feel this place does it right. Maybe it's because I'm a Southerner, but it seems like the brunch portions in this city are smaller than what I am used to, which is actually a good thing.

As with any brunch place, you want to get here early and be prepared to wait. Our table was cozy, but not too cramped as I have plenty of room to freely move. I'm not sure how often they make their menus, but, at this time, they are cute little pop-up cards that simply state the dish and price. A few of us ordered the strawberry lemonade (non-alcoholic) and it was probably the best altered version of the drink I've ever had. It even came with a freshly sliced piece of watermelon! It was not too sweet, light, and very refreshing especially on a hot summer day.

My girlfriend and I split a crepe with Nutella which was buttery, hazelnut goodness. I'm glad we split it because it was probably too sweet to eat on my own. I ordered to waffle sandwich which was more like half the waffle was leaning on the other half. All the flavors of the bacon, eggs, cheese, and butter coalesced to create a magic food experience. Again, the portion was smaller than I'm used to but was the right amount of food. I didn't feel like it was very heavy either, which is a very good thing.

I've seen other people comment about the food being pricey, but I think they're wrong. To me, the price is right on the money (pun intended). Besides, this is New York City brunch, not Denny's. You should expect better quality in your food. Try this place out and get that watermelon lemonade if they have it! You won't be sorry.
