Went today with a few friends-was expecting great service, but our waitress Cynthia only had a sour expression and quite upsetting attitude towards us. Also, the $25 french toast was quite mediocre. Frankly not the ideal brunch experience!
Absolutely stellar experienceThe drinks were too notchThe service was fantasticAnd the food was wonderfulAbove everything all the individuals we interacted with were beyond pleasant to speak to. Will definitely be back again!
Decent restaurant. Friendly staff. Great place for friends gathering, happy hour and dinner. Their lobster roll and French onion soup are both delicious and portion is alright for dinner for a lady. I tried grilled octopus and lobster salad on the other day. They are also good, but the taste is a little bit salty to me.
A very comfortable place with delicious food. I liked the environment of the place, it wasnt too loud or crowded. People could really have great conversation while enjoying food and drinks. I loved the octopus appetizer dish. Their lobster roll and filet mignon entrees were extremely tasty. I had a wonderful time with my friends and looking forward to visit this restaurant again.
The restaurant is located to the left of the adjacent hotel. I went for breakfast and ordered the French toast. It wasnt what I expected but I like inventive foods. The French toast was stuffed with some type of blueberry sauce of sorts. It lacked flavor and needed to be a bit more sweet. It was also too much of it. The French toast was soggy because it was stuffed with it. I ordered a side of bacon which was $9. It was the worth $9, no pizazz. Just regular bacon on a plate. Not thick cut, with pepper, and maple syrup. Just bacon. Otherwise, the staff was nice and it was pretty quick service.
Service and food were great. Prices are high for that power lunch but a great place to meet in the middle. Finance bro central.
Delicious food and superior service! Very convenient short walk from grand central as well. Definitely a gem in the heart of midtown.
The spinach energy bowl is really delicious and healthy. Food came fast as well. But everything else is off.It was rainy cold Sunday. Came in with wet umbrella there is no offer to take them, provide a bag, or offer to use an umbrella stand. We have to take our wet umbrella to our table and try to find a place to hang it.It also took an awful long time for maitre d to find our reservation, who also seated us with the dinner menu in hand (it was 10am in the morning).Once seated a server came to get our drink order, and we finally get the brunch menu. After a bit of wait, and the table next to us sat down and had their drink order taken and arrived, and we are starting to loose hope we will get a food order taken, the server pulled a new server aside and transfer our section. The new server quickly go up to the table next to us, who was seated 10 min after us, to took their food order. This was a big no no for me. And really bad customer service.For the other food items we ordered, the egg white omelette was overcooked and has not much eggs in it. The side of bacon - please do not order it- is over salted and paper thin. I have no idea why the sever would recommend the bacon. Coffee is nothing special; But they do offer plant base milk.I will come back for the spinach bowl if I need a quick brunch and don’t mind being served after other people who came later.
A great find! My family and I just happened to stop by before a show and it was delicious! We had the avocado turkey burger with Parmesan truffle fries. They were so good! Great and friendly service too.
Great food and would highly recommend coming here if you are staying in this area. Tasty breakfast/brunch, but they are pricy. If you are willing to spend this place is highly worth it! I recommend the waffles, chicken sausage, and cinnamon roll pancakes
Nice restaurant conveniently located near Grand Central Station. Positioned in a lovely corner, French Bistro style decor, warm and inviting. Everyone seemed to enjoy the brunch. My Mediterranean Grilled Shrimp Bowl with farro was a very well-balanced meal & the falafel balls were delicious (but when it came to the table, the shrimp was accidentally ommitted, but I realized in time & it was rectified rather quickly). My daughters waffles with berry butter was scarfed down rapidly. And YES! There is a bathroom, just not that convenient to get to...elevator required, on a lower level under the hotel.
First day in NYC, I went here for brunch.Never heard of the place, but as we passed by, it looked nice and cozy, so we decided to give it a shot.We sat down at the bar, were greeted by a friendly bartender, who served us some coffee, while we decided on what to go for, on the menu.I went for the fried chicken and waffles, and my friend took the Classic burger with truffle fries (they were amazing!!!). All in all, the experience was fantastic.They also had a great variety of spirits, for cocktails and drinks.
The food is fabulous, we sat at the bar and the staff was great, hardworking and nice. The place is clean and drinks are delicious. We had brunch and it was great.
Good food, really tasty Eggs Benedict for brunch. Service is decent, friendly but not as attentive as they could be. Good relatively for New York City though. They cant do breakfast for lunch, menu turns over completely. Lobster roll was decent, french fries were great. Overall, Id recommend
Visited for Sunday Brunch. Loved the decor and atmosphere. The açaí bowl was SO delicious! The BEC omelet was tasty, however the bacon flavor was lacking. The amount of cheese and caramelized onions was fantastic though! Upgraded the potatoes to the sweet potato and quinoa hash browns - totally worth it!!
Went in for NY Restaurant Week and my fave was the Crispy Cauliflower app!! The main dish was pretty good but I had some raw hard rice which kinda sucked, but overall everything was pretty great 😁
Fantastic breakfast in this lovely restaurant on a Saturday morning . Reservation recommended as very popular . Food was delicious and very satisfying portions . I chose the Benedict special which was crab and avocado . Loved it . Shared with son and enjoyed his waffles too ! Daughter had salmon bagel . All fantastic choices .
Brunch here was incredible! Best brunch food I’ve had in the city. French toast, croque madame and chicken and waffles were amazing. Drinks were great too — bacon bloody Mary’s!
Excellent place to enjoy some good brunch on the weekend in midtown. The place wasn’t too crowded and the food was excellent. Highly recommend the omelette or the quinoa bowl!
Ate lunch at the bar. The chicken soup is excellent. The lobster wedge salad has too much lettuce. It is very beautiful but gets messy. The service is excellent as well. The revitalizer juice is yummy.
Wasnt too busy and the food was great, but pretty expensive. Got the eggs benedict with home fries and a side salad. The home fries were like mini fingerling potatoes or something and they were amazing. The eggs Benedict was also great. My wife got waffles and they were the best Ive ever had. Well definitely go back again!
Solo dinner was magical, easy to get a table. Food was delicious! Had the avocado toast and it was very good. Got a pistachio dessert and that was incredible!
The food and drinks were fine, but there are far better options for the price paid.
Good presentation. My appetizer wasnt the best but the short ribs I had were really good and amazingly tender. The lobster mash potatoes I hear was really good.
Very beautiful and enjoyable experience. Food and service are great! I was trying to catch the Breakfast menu and I arrived at 11:00 am and it’s gone already. Only can order Lunch after 11:00.
Always an easy place to meet up with people when coming from grand central. We sat in the back where it was more quiet. Bathroom is a bit of an ordeal, but always enjoy the experience overall. First time getting the spinach bowl, which was okay. Also got the brûléed grapefruit and truffle fries which were a show stealer.
Eggplant chips and tuna tacos were incredible. Drinks were pretty good too. Clean. Cute.
Delicious food. Great service. Generous portions. Extensive menu. Lively atmosphere. We ended up here as the hotel across the road was late checking us in. A happy accident as I got to have a delicious veggie burger and glass of prosseco. If you are in the region, perfect for brunch/lunch/dinner.
Had a nice brunch here (eggs Benedict) - good atmosphere and nice view of the streets of midtown from the seating by the windows at the front of the restaurant.
Great place.Good for brunch (and it seemed they serve brunch all day long)Great croque monsieur and amazing avocado toast.Can highly recommend
Thanks to a bartender called Angel, this visit made an everlasting impression on my long awaited visit here, being my 40th birthday present from my beloved traveling companion, dad ❤ good beer aswell!!
A hip yet versatile spot that is home to tasty cocktails and bar bites alike. Suitable for a first date, after dinner drinks, solo dining for the lonely traveler, or work lunches. The menu had a number of options that intrigued me but I settled on the Eggplant parm - delicious, great crispness, and not too heavy! I also tried the Paloma Aroma which wasn’t suited for my meal, but a bright and refreshing cocktail
The french toast and avocado toast were incredible! Super friendly staff that make sure youre taken care of. Highly recommended
Was kind of torn between 3 or 4 stars but gave them the benefit of the doubt. Lexington Brass is a small restaurant located on a busy corner. The ambiance is great with lots of people, and an intimate but comfortable atmosphere. There arent a lot of tables so reservations are pretty important, although we arrived early and they were able to accommodate us.The service was generally good but it felt like the timing was a bit off as our waiter came by when we didnt need anything, but we had to flag down someone when we did. lolThey have a somewhat limited menu but not sure if thats typical or due to covid where many places are simplifying options. We started with the French Onion soup which was just so-so, and we tried their steak and salmon options, both of which were good but not exceptional.Overall there are so many places to eat in NYC that Im hesitant to say Id go back vs trying someplace new. But I also wouldnt object if someone in my party really wanted to eat here.
Great brunch spot. Delicious food and drinks. Our waiter Leo was very professional and attentive. Thank you for having us
Lexington Brass is a solid spot for lunch or brunch if youre in midtown. The bathroom situation is inconvenient because you have to enter the hotel and go to another floor, but its otherwise a good experience. On weekends theres even a full menu for a custom Bloody Mary, if you can handle that responsibility.
Tried the Restaurant Week brunch menu but they were out of a few items. The lobster roll was okay but not great, on a uninspiring sliced bun of cold bland bread.
Went here for brunch and loved the food and services here. Price was quite decent and portion was good too. But the tables are really close to each other.
Great lively atmosphere, delicious food and excellent service. Had a great brunch and would definitely like to come back on my next visit to NYC!
Stopped there for couple of drinks a snack. We had Brass Manhattan, Grapefruit Negroni and Goldrush. The Goldrush was okay but the other too were not so good. We also shared mussels. It was a huge bowl and they were well cooked. The staff was nice, atmosphere was relaxing. Not sure if I come there again.
Fantastic staff (shoutout to Kat & Angel!) that is extremely welcoming! Youll enjoy the food and drinks as well at this quality place. Not going to be the cheapest, but you get what you pay for
Absolutely amazing!! The catch of the day was perfectly cooked and the steak was to die for!
Excellent salmon platter brunch and I also recommend the delicious grilled octopus for lunch
Ordered croque madame. perfect savory brunch dish. melted cheese.... need i say more?
Ate lunch here recently and it was great. Loud, buzz atmosphere, polite and friendly service and an extensive menu. Lovely bar area. We had burgers with some sides - fresh, tasty and very well presented. Didn’t feel at all rushed even though the place was heaving with a lunchtime crowd - it was the ideal place to people watch. The peppers for appetiser were deliciously hot! My friend visited on a separate occasion during our trip one evening - as a solo diner he said it was great and he enjoyed seeing people come and go while he sank a few cocktails.
The best Caesar salad I ever had!
Right on the corner, great place for breakfast. The special, lobster benedict, was perfect.
Great for any time of day! We went on a weekday afternoon for happy hour snacks. Truffle fries are good - nothing special, but still delicious. Caesar salad was good too - big portions! We visited again for weekend breakfast and enjoyed a much quieter atmosphere with the same great food and service. Great for a quick cup of coffee or a swanky sit down meal.
Great brunch! Sweet potato hash was dope!
Everything was very average on our visit. Menu is good typical new American type stuff. We had the crispy cauliflower for an app. My daughter had the chicken lolipops and I had the braised short rib. Nothing was bad, but it wasnt great either. Server could have been more attentive but it was a busy night.
Pros: Menu is good, food is great! Highly recommend cinnamon roll pancakes and truffle fries. Service was also great, never had to look around for our server and didnt take long to get drinks or other things.Cons: Its a little expensive. The bathroom is downstairs in attached hotel, had a funky smell, a little and had nothing in it (tissues, hand towels, toilet paper)All in all, would recommend and would go back
Went here for some drinks and light snacks with a colleague from overseas. The drinks were good and the food was good enough. We ordered Tuna tartar tacos (microscopic) and some chicken lollipops. Both looked appetizing and the tuna tasted good. I did not eat the chicken.I give this establishment a high rating because there was an incident where a server dropped something and a wad of ketchup ended up on my suit pants. He came quickly with wet napkins to help clean it. Afterwards the manager came and offered us a free round of drinks. This was highly appreciated and I think this is great service. I would definitely come back here next time I am in the area.
Convenient location, walking distance from many hotels and businesses. I went on a Sunday morning and they were able to seat up without reservation. A table for 2. We ordered within 5 mins and the food was ready in 5 to 10 mins. Food was great not the best I ever had. Its a large meal for breakfast it can be shared by 2, the price is not cheap but it expected for the locations.Overall satisfying experience. 1* off due to the quality of the food.
Food is really really good here and they have some really creative and delicious specials. The atmosphere is also really nice and the staff are friendly and accommodating. However, some of the items on the menu are on the pricer side. Five dollars for a cup of drip coffee is just crazy. Also if you charge 24 dollar for eggs Benny you can at least do home fries on the side. Over all if you dont mind the high price its a must try.
My friend and I had drinks there late at night. The service was friendly and with a smile.
Burger was very delicious and pattys temperature was perfect. Service was fast and friendly.
Its very corporate. Drinks are delicious. Service was good. The salad bowls are huge. Not a lot of toppings mixed in even when the description says otherwise. Mainly the greens. I ordered the original chicken sandwich and was told it comes with a salad and chips. And it was basically 5 chips and a quarter salad.
Great service. I had brunch here and the food was ok.
I Went here a while back with a friend and just now writing up a review. On my experience this place was amazing!! We went for brunch on my visit to NY and id have to say i would gladly come back to this restaurant. Our waitress was pleasant and very tentative insuring that we were doing well and enjoyed our experience.When the food we ordered came out I was very impressed! The presentation was wonderful and the taste of everything matched its look. I had the lobster BLT, my friend had the Fratada and we shared the Waffles because she kept telling me how good they were. Lets just say she was on point with the recommendation, I loved every single bite. Though I cant remember than name of the cocktail I had, I do remember it being very good and refreshing. I believe it had cucumber,vodka and cilantro in it, which I thought was very creative. I would recommend this place to anyone taking a visit to NY and looking for a nice upscale spot to eat.
Delicious food, great service, decent price for the city and food quality. A well thought out and interesting menu.It would be 5 stars had the menu come with drinks prices that warned of a double espresso being $8... $8!! Bit of a shame.
Great Midtown East lunch and dinner spot. Ive been for business lunches and alone for dinner. The bowls are all great. My favourite is the best kale salad. The kale is fresh, crisp, and lightly dressed in a lively vinaigrette, with toasted pine nuts and shavings of a delicious cheese. I added the hangar steak which was served perfectly cooked, tender with the right bite. The burger is also a must-try and one of my favorites in Manhattan. Great service. Nice bar area.
Great location, excellent food, wonderful service! Ive been several times and have tried a variety of menu items, and everything has been delicious. Great for a business lunch, weekend brunch, or anything in between.
I have not had a bad experience here. Every time we’ve had great service and sometimes entertainment from the bar. The steak is a solid option here. I’m not a fan of desserts but I know the rest of our group enjoyed all the desserts.
You have to try the Smores dessert! I had the Fish of the day and that was tasty!! The Mac & Cheese was pretty good also. Katelyn was great, she checked on our table many times!! Plates are pretty small and food is pricey but we were glad we tried it
Love this place! Been fortunate enough to stop in here for breakfast/brunch a half dozen times. They knock it out of the park every time. Really welcoming and talented staff. The quality of food is spectacular and the atmosphere is terrific. Always enjoy their creative cocktail list. I can faithfully say that you can order anything on the menu and it’ll be exceptional.
Good place for a working lunch. Waitstaff was a little preoccupied with other tables when we first arrived but got better over the course of our lunch. Food was good, the smores are particularly good (though unhealthy). Only major downside (aside from the waitstaff) was the outside-the-restaurant bathroom, which is downstairs through the hotel.
I am at the hotel in front of this place. I was here yesterday and the service and food was really good!Today I’m here with my husband and unfortunately was completely different experience.Besides putting us on a table at the back; with plenty of tables on the front; we order a fruit bowl and eggs Benedict + toast asking specifically asking to come after the fruit to not be cold. Order an orange juice and a cappuccino. They didn’t have a spoon to eat; nobody came so I had to get up myself and find one...Took a long while when came the fruit and the eggs together!The juice and cappuccino never came... a shame that you go out on holiday to have a nice meal and nobody cares!
Awesome brunch spot. The food is creative and delicious with some healthy options too. Unlike those options, I got the fried chicken and waffles topped with eggs Benedict, which was a combo of 2 of my favorite dishes, so yeah, I highly recommend it!
Stylish and sleek aesthetic, with a casual atmosphere. The food is new American comfort, and while most dishes are well prepared with good ingredients few stand out. There is an extensive specialty cocktail menu as well as some wine and beer offerings. The wait staff was courteous, though a bit inattentive, and overall the place was kept clean. The bar livened up a bit, perhaps from the nearby hotel or happy hour crowds in the area.
Love this place and right by my job. Great Tuna poke bowl for lunch.
I had the Creme Brulee Lemon Blueberry French Toast...Holy Moly Batman, that was AMAZING!
Our brunch was disappointing. Our food took long. I had eggs Benedict which were Ok. however, the cook basically refried yesterdays potatoes and served them as a side dish. This was a $27 dls dish. So, old potatoes are definitely disappointing.Everything is old and dirty in this place. Not worth the price. Bad food and ambience.I only gave them two stars because at least they open earlier than other nearby locations on a Sunday.
Great service and nice atmosphere. Not a lot of menu options and the food in my opinion was average. Not disgusting but not incredible. Fries seemed like they were your typical frozen fries. For the price I expected better.
My go-to place for meals when I stay in midtown and want good good and a friendly atmosphere. Interesting menu changes frequently, including gluten-free and vegan choices. Love the mac and cheese and truffle fries.
Great place for breakfast or dinner. We really enjoyed the food and service, my only issue is that it was very loud. The sound of people talking is just trapped inside. I could barely hear my friend across the table.
I came here for brunch as well as for dinner. Both times I was not disappointed and they made me feel welcome. I definitely want to come back.Over brunch you can design your own Bloody Mary and the cocktails at dinner time are truly potent. I wasnt too impressed with the truffles fries ... Really skinny fries, but not enough truffle, but the food in general is delicious!One thing: the toilet is not on the same level and one needs to take the lift to a mysterious place labeled SC! Turns out its the Sport Centre level of the hotel.
Delicious food, kind people working. Thank you!
Lovely service and lovely food. You should try the butternut squash soup.
Had an amazing brunch, food was delicious and our waitress was very attentive
Nice, expensive diner vibe, with a good mix of age groups and ethnicities. Went for brunch on a Saturday morning with husband as a quick and easy Mommy/Daddy date. Definitely one of the pricier brunches, dont expect a bottomless option. It was surprisingly busy, so I was glad we had a reservation. We sat in a corner next to another older couple (wish we had a little more privacy). Noticed music playing at a low volume, like low enough where you could actually enjoy conversation. We had classic and mango passion bellinis while we waited, they were as good enough for a 2nd round. I ordered the benedict of the week - which had crab meat and avocado. With potatoes and salad on the side, it was overall delicious and filling. However, I didnt care much for the crab meat and personally the avocado wasnt ripe enough (guess I shouldve had it with salmon or canadian bacon). Next time I think Ill try the lobster roll or steak and eggs. Hubby had chicken and waffles, no complaints there, it was also delicious! We also ordered sides of bacon and sweet potatoe hash brown. Bacon was really yummy, and perfectly thick and crispy! Hash was not so yummy, shouldve sent it back. We were looking for the sweetness of a sweet potato or saltiness of classic hash and got neither. Tasted very bland with a tiny jolt of onion from the chives. Service was polite, had good recommendations, and timely. We didnt feel rushed, but also didnt feel abandoned by our waiter. Ended our meals with an espresso for him, and a cappuccino for me, which was very lovely, and exactly what we needed to snap back into parent mode! Deducted a star for the hash brown, and also the seating because the volume and close proximity of the other tables was a little distracting, and makes you feel like yourre eves dropping or like the table next to you is lol...but thats also a NYC thing! Everyone is just on top of each other. 🤷🏽♀️
This place is amazing. For $50 you get champagne with a 4 course tasting menu for two people (so technically $25 each). Perfect for boozy brunches, and such a good bang for your buck. Great food and atmosphere.
Lex Brass is an excellent restaurant that succeeds primarily on its attentive service. Basic American menu may not offer surprises but all executed flawlessly. Mimosa and Bloody Mary menus compel my midday attention, and my customized requests are well-received. Kudos to AGM Nicole for her warm welcome and consistent attention to my contentment. This is the kind of place that suggests a comfortable life well-lived and I shall certainly return. It does what it does very very well.
Excellent dining experience! We have been here for brunch and dinner and food was always great. Plus a very nice chick atmosphere and great staff. Definitely a must go place if you are around Midtown East.
Service and food were both great. Pleasant atmosphere watching people walk by on the street. Menu had a nice variety. We were staying across the street, apparently there is a coupon available... bring it.
Love this place! Fantastic lean-clean-green food options balance truffle fries on the menu. Everything is delicious. Reservations recommended during lunch and dinner, avocado toast is a winner any time of the day!
Very nice place and good service but the food lacks of flavor and not home made.
First, we had the most gracious waitress, Sharin, second: we ordered the very best avocado toast in NYC and the fruit bowl was divine! The manager was terrific...poured Coffee with a smile. We will return for bfast twice more before we depart.
Overpriced. Ordered eggplant Parmesan. And was served a measly 3 pieces of thin, crispy, over-fried and otherwise underwhelming eggplant yet it was an entree. I left hungry and feeling cheated as the bill was almost $100 for two over cooked tiny-portioned entrees plus tip. If you are going for the ambience then sure as it is right in the heart of everything and I can only guess from the other reviews they have great drinks but otherwise meh
Came here because we saw that the bloody Marys were supposed to be spectacular.... unfortunately they did not make the cut. Very generic and too much Worcestershire sauce. Ended up doctoring up the whole thing at my table with Tabasco and pepper 🌶 I am not sure who they paid to get on this best Bloody Mary list. Not worth the 15$ at all. The food was pretty good and the plate presentation was beautiful so it ended up working out in that respect.
Nice menu - strong lunch crowd - busy and efficent staff. Great views of Lexington Avenue. Everything from Lobster Roll to French Dip to Fresh Salads...... very good - not 5 stars - but very good.
Food is pretty good but definitely pricey for what you get. The service was spotty and depended on who you got as your server. They did work hard to run up the bill which I never appreciate. If you do not know where to go and have no $$$ restraints than it is a nice place. The lack of AC made it rough in the heat.
My Colleagues and I all had the Buttermilk Crispy Fried Chicken with Sauteed Kale, mashed potatoes with gravy and Fresh Lemonade, OMYGOODNESS, Delicious is an Understatement! The environment is Trendy not far from Madison Avenue. I understand that Sundays Chicken and Waffles are Highly recommended!
Pretty good brunch. They have a Create Your Own bloody mary that I really enjoyed. The food was exceptional. I got the steal burrito. Only drawback was staff wasnt the friendliest, and it was a tad pricey for brunch ($30 per person, at least).
Just arrived in NY looking for a place to eat. Quickly shown to table plenty of time to look at the menu.The food was spot on the staff helped with questions about the menu.Food arrived hot and very tasty.Cant fault it the price its the way of the world right now.
I sat @ the bar with one my colleagues and we ordered appetizers for lunch. The grilled octopus was tender and delicious. We also ordered the Kobe meatballs which were very tasty. Of course it was topped off with a very friendly bar tender!
I rate this place in the mid-range because there was not anything that really stood out to me here. The food and service are decent enough, but no more than an average restaurant. One thing I found both odd and unsettling was the fact that the bussers and runners were of ethnic minorities, whereas most of the front-end staff (servers, bar tenders, etc.) were Caucasian. Coincidence, perhaps? Regardless, there appeared to be a strange divide in staff which took away from what would be a chic and cozy atmosphere.
When you step inside the doors, its like the hustle and hustle of the city is left behind. I sat at the bar and we were greeted by a very calm staff member who helped us order something of our choosing. Another mellow person delivered our drinks. When my English muffin came out it was served with an additional plate with individual jelly/preserves jars and choices of butter. The whole experience was positive, except for the bathooms which you literally have to take an elevator to go use.
Food was alright, not great, overpriced fluff in my opinion. Theres no bathroom, so you have to go through the hotel, and the service was mediocre. The staff did work as a team so that made up for our inattentive waiter.
Pretty nice people, ok atmosphere, decent but spendy food and drink. Nothing really remarkable about it. Surprisingly expensive club soda! There are other spots in rock throwing distance that are more interesting, but it’ll do ya just fine.
Superb, Chill and Fancy.The staffs were super friendly and the food was definitely above average.Great Place to bring clients out for lunch.For Lunch, sometimes there is a long wait so make reservations when you can.
Overpriced and noisy with too much truffle oil on everything. The waiters tried to take away our unfinished plates and beers more than once and kept interrupting our conversation.
Waited an hour for a cheese burger. When it was brought to the table was raw. Was sent back had to wait another thirty minutes. When I finally ate it was definitely not great. Soda was flat service horrible. Cant understand stand how its a nice hotel with a horrible restaurant. Dont eat their.
Brunched here on a Sunday, busy spot so its worth calling ahead. Pricier but delicious across the menu, we had frenchtoast with fresh blueberry compote and the chicken & waffles but saw numerous other dishes that will get me to come back. Bathrooms that you have to elevator to are a pain though.
Beautiful bar in the center and really good food and service. Go here for lunch or dinner in great environment in midtown (prices are reasonable too). Lots of interesting vegetable items on the menu such as cashew sweet potatoes.
After another long day at the office, we stopped in to Lexington Brass, part of Hotel 48LEX, for a quick bite and drink. The place was packed at 8:30 pm, but we were in luck to find a tiny table near a window.Shared an appetizer of Shishito Peppers. They were very good, but just a tad too much oil. Served with tarragon truffle aioli.I had The Best Kale Salad with organic chicken. Very light serving with a lovely pepper vinaigrette.My friend had the white fish (the catch of the day), with side of shaved vegetables and kale pesto. She enjoyed it.
To compete in this location I expect restaurants like this to be something special. The portions were on the small side, taste and presentation unspectacular, ambience was relaxed/lounge style, and the wine list was OK (bottles were aprox 49-64 and then jumped to $130+). Overall, it was OK; I just expect something more memorable for a $200 meal for two.
Excellent place to enjoy some good brunch on the weekend in midtown. The place wasn’t too crowded and the food was excellent. Highly recommend the omelette or the quinoa bowl!
Loved the mushroom spaghetti, so very rich, had to share it with someone even though its a good sized portion for one.Not too loud, dim place. Good for a date or catching up with friends.
My wife and I were in down to visit family and this group made the experience above and beyond.
Delicious food, had to wait for the table, at first we were told that we had to be doneveating by 1pm, but later we were told by the manager we could eat at leisure. I am going to return. I was very impressed by the food even though we had to wait a while for our food.
Wonderful spot. Creative menu with good vegetarian options, delicious food, generous servings and excellent service. A bit noisy for business discussions. Highly recommend
This place is usually packed during weekdays at happy hour due to its financial east side location. The interior is nice and have that dark luxurious feel to it. The prices for food and drink is on the high end.
Sahara is an amazing bartender!! Friendly gorgeous and makes you feel at home!!! Stop by and tell her Yael says hi!!!! The place is gorgeous and the chicken lollipops are to die for!!!
The cinnamon roll pancakes are delicious! Great service also.
Food is consistently delicious and staff is incredible!! Get the cauliflower and chicken lollipop appetizers. The kale salad is also amazing as are their cocktails.
Nice little bistro style eatery with excellent lunch bites and drinks. Very good service and prompt food delivery. Comfy atmosphere to hang out with kids too.
The food was very filling and all around delicious. Expect leftovers here..its a bit on the pricey side but the brunch was solid.
Has to be one of the worst restaurants I have been to in NYC. Went for lunch and the food came out about 5 minutes after ordering. The tuna on my tuna burger was medium well and tasted fishy. On top of that it had way too much lettuce and pickes and the avacados were cut in thick chunks. My wifes frittata had more onions and celery in it than eggs. The waiter did not read any specials and did the bare minimum. Total meal was $54 and took 30 minutes. The bathroom for the restaurant is in the hotel and you have to use the elevator. What a terrible experience.
Very friendly and laidback atmosphere. The service was good and the Tuna Tartare Tacos were really yummy. Dont miss the cheese cake... it deeelicious!!
The food is superb. Not terribly overpriced for Midtown East. And they dont play the music unbearably loud. Very good cabernet sauvignon. Ive never had a bad meal here.
Slightly over priced. BUT I will say you do at least get what you pay for: Food quality was very good, service was great and their bloody Marys were excellent! I would return, but a 25 dollar Eggs Benne is pushing it... even for midtown.
We went here for brunch with my husbands family and it was very good. Service was excellent, food came out quickly and everything was very tasty. Would come here again
Dreadful food, over cooked and full of grease. Unrecognisable vegetables. Over priced - $14 for small glass of basic wine. Then 2 of our group were ill over night. One star rating is too much. Just dont go there!
Went with six people for brunch on Sunday ! Really great food, lots of brunch options , great drink options . Service was amazing and it’s a cute atmosphere . Big open bar and large open windows that look out to Lexington ave!
Cool place! I love to sit at the bar..Chicken & waffles 👌🏽
Went by, just for drinks on Sat. evening to kill time. Great experience provided by the bartender Sawyer a.k.a El Tigre Blanco kept me there a little longer than planned. Very knowledgeable bartender and great with guest.
Crowded and busy. However the servers were courteous, helpful, attentive and cheerful. Food was nicely presented and excellent. A must visit place if in area.
While the drinks were good, service was an after thought. 10 minutes for the first drink, then had to tap the bar with an empty glass for several minutes just to get the bartenders attention.
This place has OVER the TOP management and wait staff! My husband and I were traveling from CA to NY for Labor Day weekend. The last bar we ended up going to before going to our hotel was Lexington Brass. The drinks were yummy and the bartender stellar! The next morning I realized I had lost my drivers license which is a problem when you are getting on a plane in 2 days! I retraced all my steps including the LBrass bar. The GM in the morning shift went out of his way during the VERY busy Sunday morning brunch crowd to text all the staff who had worked the night before to see if they found it my license. Sadly, it was a no after much looking. The GM asked for my number in case they found it. I figured it was gone and then at midnight that night, I get a call on my cell from the night GM that they had my drivers license. A porter had found it sweeping and had given it to a chef! The chef turned it into the night GM. They then couldnt find my number and went as far as googling me online. They ended up finding me after searching in the trash for the lost number. ALL and ALL this staff, morning and night SAVED me getting home the next day to CA. They went above and beyond. I have a new love for New Yorkers and their generosity!! Thank you, thank you, thank you to all involved. Wish I had names specifically. I would highly recommend this place for its SERVICE, late night drinks as well as atmosphere! We will be back!!!! AMAZING!
Decent dinner and drinks environment. Friendly staff and good menu options. Noisy though so keep meetings chilled here.
Intentional old school vibe. Marble tile bathrooms. Upgraded TV service to use your own streaming accounts. The lounge is a busy place as folks use their resort fee drink tickets; which gives the place a lively vibe. Make sure to use the secret entrance through the Starbucks on Lexington.
Supremely overpriced food in a stuffy atmosphere. This is certainly not the place to go for a casual meal with friends. The staff were nice, but the exaggerated luxury of this place was disconcerting. This is only a restaurant you go to when you think you are very important and you need confirmation of that fact.
Great food and great drinks! I highly recommend trying the watermelon tequila drink no matter what time of year it is. It is not too sweet either!
Super packed. They sat me at a table right between another table and a huge column. I could hardly move enough to use utensils. Food was good. Service was satisfactory.
Really impressed, came for a drink and dinner: the bar area is cool and lively, great service from the barman, food was fantastic, really nice coconut kale chicken salad! Will come back for sure
Good food and good wine. Excellent waiter and the portions were perfect. Not too big, not too small.
Staff is sweet as pie. The Bloody Mary menu is awesome. The brunch /lunch was delicious. Great place!
Amazing for brunch! Try the avocado toast if you want something unique. Great atmosphere, great service, and awesome taste.Made for brunches!
Food was decent but very overpriced for the quality. Poor wine selection and prices absurdly high. On the upside, very friendly and attentive waitstaff.
(brunch review) Good food and good prices for NYC
Great place for lunch meeting or evening drinks. Styled as a French bistro than reminds Parc in rittenhouse square in philly.Great service and daily specials.
Nice place to have a light lunch in mid town Manhattan.
Breakfast was excellent. Was hesitant about eating there because some of the recent reviews were not good but I was pleasantly surprised. Will definitely go back.
Good food, friendly service. Was a bit loud but the ambience felt very “New York”. Mushroom pasta with shrimps was really good.
Nice location and decor. Poor service. Can at 730am on a work week. Sat at bar. None one came to ask for an order for 20 mins. Wasn’t particularly busy or full.
Was delighted with their soups: Vegan Roasted Chickpea and the Butternet Squash. Was a drizzly, chilly day and these soups were exactly the comfort I was seeking.
Redheaded bartender is a dream come true. Great drink recommendation (Brass Manhattan) Awesome Mahi sandwich. ALL just beautiful!
Had brunch, service was decent, prices were high though probably not excessive for the area, but the main thing is, the food (and coffee, surprisingly) was quite good.
I forgot my shoe bag when I left, then I turned back in 5 mins and they said no bag here.. I asked to check the security cameras and they refused and said that only owner can check. I asked them to call 911 and then they said bla bla bla someone took it to bla bla bla.... bad experience for first time!
We were given a table in the very back corner, however there were enough unoccupied tables. Change of table was not possible and in addition after waiting for 30 min and getting tap water nobody came over to ask for our order. So we just left.
Met the love of my life here and proposed there one year later. Jan 26th. Oh yeah...and they have great cocktails and food. Enjoy!
Delicious food. Friendly service.
A great Midtown East neighborhood spot. The food is delicious and the staff are friendly. It’s also a great spot for networking and people watching.
Great brunch, big portions- enough to split. Get the cinnamon roll pancakes to share, they are to die for!
Ate lunch here. The menu has lots of organic options, loved that! The avocado toast with pomegranate was phenomenal!! Yum 😋
Loved this place. We went multiple times during our stay. They have the best staff and really good food.
Love their brunch. A lot of it can be made gluten-free, including the waffles! Theyre my favorite.
Delicious food with generous sized servings. Our waiter was gorgeous. Highly recommended.
Hands down one of the best espresso martinis in town. Their octopus and kale salad is amazing.
Overpriced for no reason. Unseasoned steaks. Terrible service. Only reason I can see going here is if you cant find another restaurant in NYC..
Nice space, good concept, fair service. Salmon salad (very good) side cauliflower (very good) truffle fries (very good). Cocktails (fair)
Great atmosphere. Excellent option for brunching. Smoked salmon platter was amazing!
The people and service were impeccable. The atmosphere was intimate service excellant. Food exquisite & priced very affordably.
Tasty food great service
Good location but only mediocre coffee. I havent tried the food but there are better options in the area.
My expectations were higher. The dishes are very large but the quality could be higher. The lobster roll is not really a roll.
Great after work place with a cool business crowd. Truffle fries are a must. Also great drinks. Sleek, modern interior.
The food is just okay here. Not worth the money at all but service was good and atmosphere was inviting.
We had reservations and they still made us wait 15 mins so they last a star for that, but the food and service was good
Great spot for work lunch/ dinner or after work drinks, atmosphere is well done and loved the knowledge of the waitress about vegan items on the menu
Food was delicious and the build your own Bloody Mary is an amazing idea that tasted great. Service was a little awkward but otherwise great experience!
Great food, great atmosphere, mutton chops bartender was inattentive and making drinks for hostess instead of our group
Zach was the best server Ive had in NYC all week. Food was well presented and tasty
Food was good. Service was efficient. Prices were in the higher range for breakfast.
Located in Hotel 48 Lex. Great breakfast, lunch and dinner menus. Nice bar. They focus on locally sourced, fresh foods.
Nice setting but service disappointing and slow. When asked specifically for a soft poached egg still brought a hard one. Is it really that hard?
Great service. Very accommodating - we had 12 people for a reservation and the staff was great.
Excellent food and table service, rude hostess unfortunately. Table service staff keeps working around her to accommodate guests.
Everything was very good and the pricing is fair. Interesting assortment to choose from. Suprisingly good vegetable sides! Muscles excellent.
Very good food, great atmosphere and great service. Pricey but hey, it is Manhattan!
I think the meal here is always solid. Great quick lunch spot especially if your looking for a quick turnaround.
Overpriced dinner options. Nice big windows on busy block. Burger was good.
Great food, great service, great bartenders and wait staff. A random walk in visting New York, a pleasant suprise.
Great food! Service was quick, especially consider how busy they were.
Not impressed. The food quality did not match the prices. It was okay, but I would recommend going somewhere else.
Very good food. You will be waiting for a while but nice atmosphere.
Great brunch spot. Pretty amazing options. It gets crowded so make a reservation.
Food is ok, big portion but kind of pricey, you can find same quality or even better, for cheap
Very bad behavior from restaurant manager,Overcharged from me.I oder one piece of chicken breast for my baby they charged $15.

2022-02-19Really pleasantly surprised. Service was fantastic and friendly. My wife had the French Onion Soup and said its among the best shes had. She followed that with the Coconut Kale Salad with salmon substituted for chicken. I started with the Crispy Cauliflower followed by the Fried Chicken and Biscuits. All top notch. The only nitpick is they could use a more varied beer list. I like the dark and malty brews and there were none on tap. There was a Left Hand Nitro Stout in a bottle, but I can get that anywhere. Settled on a Stella.

2022-06-13I’ve been to LB several times, but this is my first review. The food I ordered today was nothing short of snacking! My son and I stopped in for lunch and they did not disappoint. My son had the chicken breast sandwich and Parmesan fries. I had the WILD MUSHROOM SPAGHETTI with grilled shrimp, which was made withMushrooms, Oven Roasted Tomatoes, but they tasted more like sun-dried tomatoes, Sugar Snap Peas, Parmesan cheese. The sauce was velvety and seasoned to perfection. I’m not sure what the shrimp was marinated in, but it was delicious…a bit too salty, but the flavor was really good. I’ll have to come back just for this dish!

2022-04-26Wonderful experience at brunch! So often NYC brunch places are over rated, expensive with pretty mediocre food. Was pleasantly surprised with the high quality of food and very nice service! We were greeted at the door when we arrived and seated at a nice table. The place has a cozy European feel with a beautiful marble bar counter. The egg white omelette with caramelized onions, mushrooms and cheese was spectacular with delicately spiced fingerling potatoes and a delicious side salad! And the truffle fries were the best we’ve ever had. The mimosa could have been better but I’m not complaining! Service was polite and considerate & atmosphere relaxing. Best brunch ever, would highly recommend and will becoming back!

2021-12-22Love this place! The crispy cauliflower app. was great, I loved the spicy vegan mayo they paired with it. The best part was the wild mushroom spaghetti. I had it solo without any shrimp or salmon and it was perfect. Very filling on its own, and it had this wonderful truffle sauce that brought it all together. My drink was good as well (had a margarita). Definitely worth going to.

2022-06-08Limited menu but everything we had was great. Delicious French onion soup, chicken Caesar salad with truly tender chicken, and excellent dessert. We wanted a simple and quick meal, and this was the perfect place. The waiter was very helpful for our choices. Tables are a bit close, but it is a small space with some counter seating
