Overall the place was decent. I wouldn't go again.

Excellant food. I had the tuna special & my friend had a pasta dish with shrimp. Inside looked a bit trendy for me, but sitting outiside and people watching while dining was nice & quiet. The server was also very knowledgable & friendly.

I just had my husband's 40th birthday party with 16 people at the Eatery, and I can't say enough nice things about the food and the staff. They made everything so easy. Planning and booking couldn't have been simpler and the staff (especially Marc the manager) made sure we felt welcome and taken care of the moment we walked in. It's one of the rare places in Manhattan that can serve you the best simple comfort food and mix a mean martini.

Sunday was busy, but it still doesn't mean that when mistakes are made they shouldn't be corrected. In a party of 2, food coming out 15 minutes apart for each patron is absurd, especially when the staff reaction is "I'm sorry" while your friend's food gets stale and cold waiting for yours to be served! No free drink. No discounted meal. No coupon for next time to entice us to return. Just mediocre food with an expensive price tag that was served at two different times!
Definitely not worth the money! If you're really hungry and in the area with a bunch of money burning a whole in your pocket, go ahead, but I definitely don't recommend it as 1 of the top brunch places in the city, like someone supposedly did.

I chose this restaurant after reading about its fantastic brunch, which is exactly what I wanted for my visitng family. Another great bonus is the divers brunch menu- anything from simple eggs and bacon, to a southwestern pulled pork tostada. The food was good, it was good atmosphere for conversation, and the service was some of the best I've had in New York (I'm a southerner, so my expectations are high!) We weren't rushed and the waitress was helpful in deciding among the many options.
