Delicious and super cute spot for brunch with friends or family. Service is super quick once you get your table; however, it does get a little crowded near the host stand, even if you have a reservation. Their popovers are a must have and their omelettes are super fresh. Would definitely come back again.

Sarabeth’s was packed and we didn’t have a reservation, but luckily there were seats at the bar and we were thrilled. The bar staff were so friendly and chatted with us while we tried our first-ever popovers. The food was fantastic. Our hotel recommended Sarabeth’s, and it’s easy to understand why.

We enjoyed a beautiful brunch at Sarabeth‘s while on a short weekend trip to New York City. The reservation process was quick and simple, and we were greeted cordially when we arrived. The ambience, decor, and lighting were all warm and welcoming. The noise level within the restaurant was just right… Enough to be lively and convivial, but still quiet enough to enjoy conversation with our dining partners. The food was delicious and exquisitely presented, and the service was friendly and attentive, without being intrusive. The variety of menu options was wonderful as well. There were plenty of sweet and savory offerings, and the green salad that accompanied many of the main brunch dishes was a refreshing addition to the meal. It was the perfect way to begin our day of sightseeing. I would definitely return to Sarabeth’s, and would recommend It without hesitation to others.

"Sarabeth’s is the best place for brunch on the UWS. Nothing else compares. All around great experience, from host, servers, and management."

Sarabeth’s on the Upper West Side is a true NYC staple—perfect for brunch or breakfast classics. We sat outside and ordered the crispy chicken sandwich with gouda, which was huge and packed with flavor. Served on ciabatta with arugula and jam, it hit every taste bud—the perfect balance of sweet and savory. The fries on the side were crispy and delicious. We also had the spinach and cheese omelette—super fluffy eggs, light and right. Always a reliable go-to for a satisfying brunch.

THE BEST BUFFALO WINGS I EVER HAD! Cheeseburger was a big hit too, flame broiled flavor, Absolutely Delicious! Philly Cheesesteak, Waffle Fries and Coleslaw was yummy too. Excellent service, Great Relaxing Atmosphere, Clean and Spacious Restaurant with Large Bar, Plenty of Tables in Dining Room and they have a Stage and So Many TVs and a Projection TV too for Every Sports Event. Band was Playing and Sounded Great When We Arrived! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND! BLONDIE’S BUFFALO WINGS ARE HANDS DOWN THE BEST! OSCAR THE BARTENDER TOOK GREAT CARE OF US!

Amazing. Been going here since college and it hasn’t changed. Still true to its great environment and really good wings. I’m a sucker for wings, and this place doesn’t disappoint. Wings are great sizes for NYC without the BS. You’re paying a decent price and getting full sized! A great place to chill with some friends, watch a game, or just go down on all you can eat wings on a Monday!

With the high reviews and praise on Reddit, I thought this place would be a little better. Wings were OK, nachos were OK, everything was OK. Wouldn't come back, have a lot more places to try that I would rather go to first. Service was the best part though!

The wings here are good (if you get a fresh batch), but at $20 for a regular order they are really pushing the limits of pricing.

Recommended for wings, sports and groups! This is a great local establishment, it is relaxed, tons of seating (with a backroom) and leaps of TVs to watch any game that's on (ask the friendly staff for your pick!). The wings continue to be crispy. The bucket of 50 you can split into 2 flavors, we did mild and medium, but so many more and spicy levels. We enjoyed the new fried cheese curds, omg the aioli sauce is the best, sweet potato fries, soft pretzels and chicken fingers. Enjoy, I always look forward to coming back here!!

I have yet to go to a dosa place that I didn’t like a lot but that being said this place was excellent. the paper masala dosa was crispy probably 6 ft.² and the masala was flavourful and oniony, the way I like it. I liked the different chutneys that came with the dosas, especially the red one and the coconut (the dosas with some masala and a ton of coconut chutney slathered on is a 10/10 bite) but I am a little bit too weak for the spice of the sambar. I would definitely come back, because the service was fast and the food was filling and tasty, and I like the vibe. The dosa was also significantly better than the one from madras dosa company, which had soggy dosa and not flavorful masala. It’s awesome when restaurants have metal plates to serve food on, I just like it lol

Our server Rahsaan was absolutely incredible! Extremely helpful. The food was absolutely delicious. Forgot to get a photo of my garlic shrimp before eating but it was amazing. Will definitely return.

Standard South Indian food from a seasoned veteran, consistent, familiar flavours that stay true to the brand.
Venkataprathap Molakalapalli - 2 months ago

Some of the best South Indian/Vegetarian food in NYC. Excellent selection of dishes, low on spice and oil. Fantastic service and very friendly staff. Highly recommend this place!
Shreyas Ramnarayan - 10 months ago

Sometimes there is a bit of a wait on the weekends but this and the other location on Lexington is my favorite brunch in the city. Service is always quick and kind. Stick with the South Indian classics and you can’t go wrong! Dosas, chutneys, and sambar are consistently well executed and have great flavor. The potato filling is also excellent. Some favorites: chili onion Rava dosa, Masala dosa, potato bonda, onion bajji, and mini idli 🧡 great for vegans - everything is clearly labeled !

Classic bar! Lots of TVs. Good looking bar bites. Great selection of both domestic and import beers and drafts vs bottles. I liked it. Will probably be back to watch some sports

I ate here twice on our visit since it was closest to the hotel. Both nights were really crowded, but the food came out quickly. Everyone was in their own little world, so I never struck up a conversation with anyone other than the bartender. He was cool. Maybe that's a NYC thing? We tried the steak sandwich, burger, and wings. All were good. My favorite was the wings. Definitely worth a stop if you're in the neighborhood.

Strolled in here before a show at the Beacon. Seated at a high top in the bar area and was lucky enough to have Jordan as our server. When she brought two blue cheese cups with our wings - one each for my friend and me - was blown away. Then had the tasty burger. Everything was really great - exactly as it should be.

This place is always packed but table service or bar service is always excellent. They treat you right. The wings are big and bountiful. The burgers are great and really good drinks. I wasn’t impressed with the quesadillas though. Not enough filling.

I’m not vegan, but this place truly impressed me. The pesto mac & cheese is hands down the best mac & cheese I’ve had in my life — I finished every bite. It was that good. The burger sandwich was also awesome, full of flavor and very satisfying. What really made the experience even better was the staff — everyone was friendly, lovely, and provided great service. You can really feel the passion and hard work behind this restaurant. I’ll definitely come back again the next time I visit New York. Huge appreciation to everyone working here for creating such an amazing experience. 💚

We ordered the pesto mac and cheese and the pot pie and they were both delicious! 🥰 Pot pie was a little watery and could be a bit more creamy. Pesto was so flavourful and both came with a lovely salad. The gingerade was refreshing. The restaurant environment was really nice and had very friendly staff.

I really enjoyed Peacefood on a rainy Saturday afternoon. Friendly servers and great food. I had the French toast and fruit. Cooked berries in top with cinnamon and sugar was divine!! I ordered a coffee with almond milk and the almond milk was steamed and foamy! Such a nice touch! I like strong coffee so that was slightly underwhelming as it was a tad watery but overall everything was great.

My daughter loves the tater tarts and French fries with no cheese. I liked their latte with oat milk and Shanghai dumplings. The vegetable dishes were good. Nice atmosphere and friendly people.

Ordered a custom carrot cake for a vegan tea I had for a dear friend battling breast cancer with diet. We non-vegans were nervous, but the cake was a huge hit and truly delicious! Thank you Peacefood for making our support party such a success!

We held our wedding reception at the Gin Mill. Christine was amazing to work with, so detail-oriented and answered every question. And we couldn’t have had a better day-of team to ensure the evening went smoothly!

DO NOT order takeout from this place. I've had their food in person and it's great. I ordered takeout and they literally gave me half the container. It was so incredibly disappointing. Go in PERSON guys, please.

Hosted a birthday party here and the experience was amazing from start to finish. Christine and Meg made the planning so easy and were so incredibly kind. On the night of the party, Tony and Elisa (sp?) and the rest of the GM team gave us an amazing evening! We will be back — thank you Gin Mill!

We hosted our son’s first birthday in the Riverside and common’s rooms and had a great experience overall. Great value for the space and food/drinks. The bartender was friendly and attentive and the staff was very kind and helpful in making sure the setup was what we needed. Highly recommend!

December 2025. Rude staff, front bartender stated "no cocktails"just beers, got there 30 minutes b4 the reserved party room was over and they still wanted to charge $25 to get in with nothing included, 10 minutes b4 they allowed us to get in, the staff in the private room were also rude, unprofessional, asked to speak to a manager, they said no manager was available, they never ask anyone to leave, instead they called the security guard to do that. I paid cash for the beer I ordered in front, but they still charged my credit card with overcharges. I attempted to reach out by phone, but no response. If a manager was not available in person, Imagine attempting to reach anyone on the phone. If u visit this place please review your credit card statement and charges. My bill for one veer was $9.25, I paid $10 cash , but they charged my credit card W/O my signature/authorization $14.25. Horrible experience.

Used to like this place a lot, I likely won’t order again. Ordered delivery, not only were the portions half of the containers (even the rice carton wasn’t full) but the proportions were also off — pad thai was wayyy too sweet and the pad se ew was too salty. Seems they used the same amount of sauce but shrunk the amount of food. Massaman curry was good, but again, the portion was shockingly small.
Danielle Farage - 2 months ago

We like the food very much. We ordered 2 set lunch - one was pad Thai and it comes with spring rolls and the second lunch was chicken fried rice. It comes with salad with tofu and beets. We also ordered curry duck and dessert mango with sticky rice was delicious and mango ice cream. We had a delicious meal there will come again.

Had an amazing meal at Land Thai Kitchen with a friend! The food tasted homemade and packed with flavor. Larb duck and crispy fish were the stars—so crispy, so tasty! Their mixed appetizer was a great start too. Service was super friendly and made the experience even better. I’ll definitely be back with more friends next time!

Personal a big fan of any literary bars, even if they don't have any books. This place is definitely a charming Irish pub, with both bar and table service. Will say that if you are ready for your drink and at a table its easier to order if at the bar and they'll bring it over. Love all the clever names they have for drinks / cocktails and fairly priced for NYC. I found the 500 Guinness wall cute. Also, always a big fan when they have the digital jukeboxes to play the tunes you want to hear. I got the cider they have on tap and the signature drink. Both very good and now I also have a new glass bottle.
Natalia Cruz - 4 months ago

There is no food served here even though it says they have a menu online (on SinglePlatform) so ignore that. But, you can bring your own food in. Very small but great vibes! The dead poet drink was very tasty and I love that I got to keep the glass. Be aware that it is very loud, sit outside if you want to talk.
Jordan Byrd - 6 months ago

Bar looks like it’s been here for many years, and it’s obviously because it is a relaxing, pleasant place to stop by for a beer, drink or food. Bar seating, tables in back and out front. Bartenders were very friendly and welcoming. TVs throughout, bathrooms in the rear. Lots of interesting things to look at on the walls. Nice place.
PhilYouIn - a year ago

The Dead Poet Bar on the Upper West Side is a cozy, literary-themed spot with a great atmosphere. The dark wood, bookish quotes on the walls, and dim lighting create an inviting space perfect for casual drinks. Their cocktail menu, especially the namesake "Dead Poet" with Jameson and ginger ale, is creative and affordable for Manhattan. Though small and often crowded, especially on weekends, the laid-back vibe and friendly bartenders make it worth a visit. Whether you're a literary fan or just looking for a great neighborhood bar, The Dead Poet is a gem you'll want to return to.

An early New Year’s Eve stop for pints and prosecco turned into a perfect afternoon. Lively energy, an excellent bartender, and books lining the walls made it easy to see why the place filled up so quickly. Even better-you’re welcome to bring your own food.
