Sarabeth’s

Had dinner at this location with a large group. The food was up to typical Sarabeth standards, including appetizers, entrees and desserts. The service was quick and efficient but they did seem to rush us to order initially even though the restaurant was pretty empty. Overall a very good experience. The half priced bottles of wine were a pleasant surprise.

Food is good (probably a little over-​hyped, but solid). Service is good. Biggest room for improvement — they need to do a deep cleaning of the restaurant. The floor and tiles look worn and not clean and the place has a musty smell. It’s even worse if you have to go back through the maze to the restroom. Would recommend they clean the restaurant — that would be worth another star IMO.

This is a very good place to meet friends, or to bring visitors to.
Clean, great decorated place with excellent service, took a star for the limited selection and another for being little bit too pricy for the food/​portions they serve.

I had an omelette with chicken sausage and Kale and avocado frittata which is delicious. Also, my friend told me this restaurant is famous because of the movie sex and the city. However, the price is kinda high for brunch. Overall good experience.

Best happy hour at a quality establishment! Of course there are good happy hours at little dive places, but Sarabeth’s offered a classy, fresh and professional ambiance with live music. Good was tasty and the price was more than reasonable for what you get, especially in that location.

Great place to bring family or friends for brunch. Came in on a weekday so it wasn’t terribly busy. The service was great and the food was delicious. I loved that my water was always kept full and the waiter was constantly checking on how the food turned out. Will definitely come back. I would suggest making a reservation if you have a large party or come in on the weekends.

Had Avocado toast on MealPass two days in a row. Sarabeth’s is much better than Wayside’s. But for some reason my pickup box emanated a very unpleasant smell. When I was on my way back to the office I kept looking around to see where the smell came from, and after I sat down at my desk and unwrapped the box I realized it was from my food. But it’s only a smell, as I couldn’t taste it. Overall nice toasts, but I’d much prefer a different kind of bread. I know Sarabeth’s bakes its own, but Balthazar multigrain is still the one. It’s also annoying that they make all the MealPass orders at once, so if you have a late pickup time your food will be cold, and cold sunny side up eggs are no good. The avocado paste combined with water from the burrata also soaked the bread underneath.

Although the ambiance is there, the food was not what I expected. Ordered an egg white vegetable omelette and it was not very good. Friends ordered waffles and tuna salad, both good but nothing special. The three fruit fruit juice was the best, all fresh squeezed and cold. Definitely a cute brunch spot for pictures but foodies, the food is alright at best.

Not sure why this place was so hyped up. It was decent, and the location had a nice crowd that wasn’t too loud, but personally Blue Dogs or even the Smiths were comparable if not more enjoyable in my opinion. It was probably too hyped up for me.
Had the crab cake Benedict– which I don’t necessarily recommend. Great English muffins, so maybe the Goldie Lox with a side of the muffins? Or suck it up and wait at Blue Dogs.

(I now see I checked in to the wrong location) Brunch in NYC is serious business. I don’t mean getting dressed up, I mean people «brunch» as a term on the weekends and it’s important to have a place to go and have good eats waiting at the other end. With that being said, when we head into town we do have some favorite spots to hang with my cousin. But we are always open to try a new brunch location, especially if the word on the street is good food or coffee… or dare I say alcohol.
So my cousin said she had recently brunched at Sarabeth’s and thought we’d like it, being our last day in the city we wanted good food and a casual vibe.
We did make sure to get an earlier start than most New Yorker’s probably do on a Saturday morning since we did have an early afternoon flight home. And Sarabeth’s was open earlier than some other spots on a weekend. We showed up at 10 am on Saturday and there were plenty of open tables in this fairly large restaurant located Park and 28^th. Service was great, we were served drinks and food very quickly at this earlier time. I ordered scrambled eggs in a popover with arugula on the side. I think they used 4 – 5 eggs so have a big appetite! But who doesn’t love a popover!!! Simple and delicious and I always love a eggs on toast kind of breakfast, so I did enjoy this variation. This place opens early and is walking distance from where we stay so it gets the extra star.

I’ve always heard good things about Sarabeth’s brunch and although I found the food to be adequate, it was just A-​OK for me. I think what hindered the experience for me slightly was the price of the entrees, a little bit more on the expensive side compared to other brunch places that offer similar plates.
I started off with the Bloody Mary ($ 13). The amount they give you is huge. It was like an endless amount of Bloody Mary. The drink itself was good. I was just meh on the pickled garnishes on top. Too sweet for my liking.
For my entrée, I got the scrambled eggs stuffed popover. Overall, it was good. The scrambled eggs were cooked nicely, full of that scallion flavor with bits of creamy soft cream cheese in between. The popover was a little dry and overcooked but it was adequate with the meal. The side salad was nice and refreshing with the eggs. I also tried some of my friend’s ricotta and lemon pancakes and found the portion to be plentiful and the pancakes to be nice and fluffy with a nice hint of lemon.
Overall, it was a good meal. Reservations are definitely necessary for this place. The pricing was just a tad higher than I would like pay for what they were offering.

Came in for brunch with a friend and got the classic egg benedict. It was good and the presentation was beautiful but it was nothing fancy. I did not like the dressing on the salad and couldn’t even finish half of it.
For just a benedict, it costed $ 19 plus tips and tax I ended up paying $ 26 and I did not think it was worth it. You can get a benedict elsewhere for half the price which would probably taste the same.

This place is a little overrated. This was my second brunch here. The 1^st time we had the stuffed popover and it was quite good. The 2^nd time we had the pancakes, stuffed popover and kale & eggs. The popover wasn’t as good as the 1^st time, it actually wasn’t good at all. While the pancakes and kale & eggs were both good, they weren’t anything to write home about. The price just didn’t seem worth it for what we were getting. I also had the four flowers mimosa. I didn’t particularly like the taste. The flavors just didn’t mix well for me.
I have also ordered dinner here a few times through seamless. Again, while most items aren’t bad, they’re not great and just don’t justify the prices.
Overall overpriced and underwhelming.

Contrary to the negative reviews I read about long waits or bad service, I enjoyed almost everything. My friends and I ordered 3 dishes and an appetizer to share for brunch. This Flatiron location is really big and it was like a maze to get to the bathroom.
Anyway, we got the chips with guac and crabmeat for the appetizer. Housemade chips are always a plus in my book, and generous portion of crabmeat was fresh!
We also ordered the Seafood Cobb Salad, Buttermilk Pancakes, and Almond Crusted French Toast. The french toast was def my ultimate fave. It was just the right amount of buttery-​goodness, and texture was crunchy from the almonds, but soft on the inside. I kinda just wished I asked for the strawberry jam on the side (since I’m not a fan of jam).
Seafood Cobb Salad was a whole $ 30, but totally worth it when you see the amount of lobster and crabmeat they give you. The only thing they were missing was dressing, but maybe they did that on purpose so we can taste the freshness of the sea…
Buttermilk pancakes were actually meh. I mean you can’t reallllyy go wrong with buttermilk pancakes, but next time I shall try the Lemon Ricotta pancakes.
Overall: attentive and patient staff, good food, spacious area, but a lil steep on the prices, but when you share it, it’s not too bad.

I loved it from the minute I arrived. It’s not too crowded, which was surprising, and it has nice tables and a bar area. I know this is a typical brunch place, but dinner was great.
The service was very welcoming and the waitress was helpful and honest when asked for preferences. One thing I didn’t like was that the bread on the table isn’t fresh at all and it’s not warm. But the food was good.
I ordered the tomato soup and the crab cake and, honestly, I liked the tomato soup better. It was best tomato soup I’ve had and was a great size for an appetizer. On the other hand, the crab cake dish was pretty and tasty, but just didn’t have the kick I wanted.
I give this place four stars because of the atmosphere and the fantastic and enthusiastic service. I take away one because i had higher expectations for the crab cake. Granted Sarabeth’s is known for brunch, so maybe I should come back for their specialty

After coming to this location, I’ve determined that Sarabeth’s is better a) at Central Park South or TriBeCa and b) for brunch. My dinner here was fine, but definitely nothing special.
The space is huge! Like, I nearly got lost on the way to the bathroom huge. And for an earlyish dinner on a Friday, there were tons of available seats when we arrived without a reservation.
Highlights of the meal include the house Riesling and the crab avocado guacamole (very fresh). Our entrees, a special flatbread and wild mushroom risotto, were on the richer side but not very compelling otherwise. Lowlights include pretty slow service when trying to get the check and feeling underwhelmed enough to forgo ordering any more food or dessert. For the price and hype, I’d head up or downtown if Sarabeth’s is a must-​try on your list.

1^st time for Breakfast in the City but it was worth it. I met up for a late Brunch with a friend and his Family. I was extremely late, but the reservation we originally had was moved to accommodate my late entrance. The place was very buzzing as far as being busy, but the staff was Super friendly and attentive. My friends had ordered Smoked Salmon Benedict and the Crab.Benedict. I’m more of a traditional Breakfast guy and ordered the regular Benedict. The Coffee was amazing and although it was busy, it was not too loud to carry on a normal. conversation without shouting. I will be back and would like to try more of their diverse menu. I will try to get there earlier next time since after 12 pm was standing room only and there was a wait for parties of 4 or more.

I came here for sunday brunch and left disappointed. First the line in the morning was unorganized. We show up and are told its a 30 minute wait for 2 so we take a quick 10 minute stroll. Come back in and are told they already called us and then now there are more people ahead of us who will be seated first. umm, excuse me? so we ended up waiting more than 30 minutes in total. I should have left right then.
absolutely do NOT get the grilled cheese. I was told this place had good portions. The grilled cheese came out kid sized with a kid sized portion of soup.
other traditional brunch items seemed ok but i left disappointed. at least wait service and décor were pleasant.

I came in here at a spur of the moment (after consuming a copious amount of wine it seemed like a great idea).
The restaurant is beautiful and immaculate. The space makes for a great spot to host a large group! We came in here to continue the celebration and took advantage of the excellent happy hour deals that Sunday. The bartender, whose name escapes me, was pleasant and attentive, making sure the four of us was happy (which he succeeded).
I’d come back again to try other cocktails if I’m in the area. Definitely a classy joint, yeah I said it.

I was not a fan of the lemon ricotta pancakes here, what a disappointment! Not sure if it was an off day, but the pancakes were hard and had an overwhelming spice… maybe too much nutmeg?
The grilled cheese on pretzel bread was decent, but the tomato soup that came with it was pretty delicious.
Service the day we went was awful. Our waitress was filled with attitude, obviously having a bad day and taking it out on her customers.

Nous y sommes allés a midi pour un brunch, 25 mn d’attente annoncées et seulement 10 effectuées, fait assez rare a Manhattan! L’endroit est assez grand donc le turnover est assez conséquent.
Les œufs bénédictines dont plutôt bons, les cocktails a $ 13… En revanche $ 4 pour le café, la marge est bonne
Au final on s’en est tiré pour $ 45/​personne, l’endroit était bien et les produits de qualité.
