Andrew C.Andrew C: Expensive-ish, but great food and service... the roast beef hash was a bit under-seasoned, but added some salt/pepper and became perfect!!

RobbyRobby: Great hard to find wines!

EaterEater: In addition to weekend brunch, Eli’s Table now includes weekday breakfast from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Look for this Amagansett egg sandwich with bacon or ham and egg on brioche ($8) that steals the show. Read more.

Ramya V.Ramya VP: One of the best brunches in NY (best in UES). Simple yet so complex in its flavors - soul satisfying, no pretension, and incredible incredible service and people- feels like home should be.

Thea R.Thea Rodgers: All dishes were pretty basic, but delicious. Try kale Caesar salad, orecchiette, crab & avocado toast. Made us wait 40 minutes for our table, offered free crudo for the wait & then charged us for it!

Time Out New YorkTime Out New York: Try the sundae, bourbon-vanilla & Scotch-chocolate ice creams form the base; the booze factor are cherries soaked in Pimm’s, and salted-caramel chocolate sauce & whipped cream mellow the alky punch. Read more.

Norman E.Norman Ellis: Get a table upstairs. Less crowded and more Intimate. Split a Shepard's pie or an omelette and you'll still have room for the treats. Froz hot chic is to die but try the apricot smush as well.

BravoBravo: We go to Serendipity for the desserts only. They have the best Frozen Hot Chocolate. For real! -Jill Zarin, Real Housewives of New York City

Matthew H.Matthew Hurst: Bring a date here for Frozen Hot Chocolate. Ask for an extra straw so you can split it!
