Generally I sleep past noon on weekends - but on a Friday I had a good one. The fritatta had red and green peppers with bacon and was light - and huge. The New York Bloody doesn't match the Chicago or Milwaukee - lacked the spice I genrally desire. A side of sauges in peach preserves was a solid choice too. I discovered real English Muffins look nothing like Thomas' brand. Omelettes with Guyere cheese, a front bakery and preserve shop? Very nice.

This place is TOURIST-UNFRIENDLY. The server tried to squeeze 8 of us into a small 6-people table, and generally very rude, running away from at our mid sentence. Food is just average. Papa pouridge and egg benedict were cold. And they put 20% automatic gratuity on top when we asked for the bill. They don't deserve that and worst still, they simply have developed this practice to treat tourists badly... Don't listen to tourist guidebook or concierge. You will definitely be disappointed. If you must go, skip this one and try the one in upper west side, but prepare for long waits.

I am so upset that we spent $50 on breakfast for 2 people and it was horrible. The bacon was dry and tasteless, the eggs benedict were the worst I've ever had! The french toast was basically just bread with no flavor. If you just want to go for the name and 'trendiness' of this place, expect to spend lots of money on tasteless food. Will never go back there again..Oh, this was my second time there and we only went again to try and give it another shot because Island - next door with awesome food and service- wasn't open yet.

Sarabeth's has great brunch on the Upper East Side! They have eggs and pancakes and salads and sandwiches - including several vegetarian and healthy options. This place is usually pretty crowded so arrive early or be prepared to wait a bit before being seated.

We went to Sarabeth's for a late breakfast on a weekday and we were seated right away. The restaurant is small and cozy and the tables are VERY close together. In fact, the people sitting next to us commented on our conversation! I could of ate off my neighbors plate easily, we were pratically bumping elbows as we ate! The food was good, the portions were adequate, I remember only the jam and coffee as being outstanding. I thought it was too expensive for what you get. The service was okay, the waitress didn't forget anything but she wasn't especially nice and she didn't come back to check on us. We had to flag her down for more coffee and our check. They had a counter where you could get pastries to go, when I picked one, the lady said she didn't work the counter and left. After standing around for a few minutes, I left too.
