Kourosh Behnam: You must eat the poached eggs, halloumie cheese and grilled tomatoes! Don't even think about trying anything else :). One of my favorite brunch spots in NYC
J: Had the Rosewater Waffle, was tasty and fluffy. Poached Eggs with grilled Tomato and Haloumi was yumm! Green Shakshuka was okay I guess.

Ruby Anaya: Believe the hype. Jack's Breakfast and the Poached Eggs with Grilled Tomato and Haloumi were both a solid 💯. Start with the grapefruit & yogurt - the mint on top is again, 💯.

M Aldoss ♏: One of the Best in NYC !!! Madame Freda is Delicious. Orange Blossom Pancake is a MUST !!!! Highly Recommended 👍 👍 👍

Brad Garoon: Brunch accompanied by a jazz set is soothing. Try the Venison burger, a gamey patty topped with sweet blackberry onion jam, farm cheese, and country ham. The challah bun is a great touch. Read more.

Amelie B: The food was incredible quality and impeccably executed - both appetizers (get the tuna tartar and burrata) and specials (scallop with foie gras, and braised short rib were outstanding). Nice vibe too

Jaclyn R: Come for happy hour and get a cheese board. Burger is good too!
