Hidden gem in NYC, definitely worth the visit if you are looking for somewhere chilled and easy going, woth lovely food and out of the ordinary cocktails

Got a chai latte and the herb and cheese omelette and both were delicious!! We sat in the outside patio which is covered and absolutely beautiful! A bit of a slower service but great food and wonderful atmosphere!

Haven’t been here in years. They used to have an amazing fried chicken on the menu. We should petition to bring it back lol. But overall everything g we got was really good. A great BLT with a really good aioli on it. Got the side salad with the BLT and they give a generous amount and very good house salad. The oysters were really good and fresh. The loaded spuds were very tasty as well,had a cream sauce and friend onions on it. Food portions are great size to share or if you’re just really hungry. Great chill ambience for easy lunch or dinner. Solo or with a friend or partner.

Wonderful quaint little restaurant located in The Standard hotel. Beautiful venue, peak service, friendly staff, and delicious food. Wonderful place for a quick, but filling breakfast. We arrived and were seated instantly, with beverages given immediately upon request. Food portions were fair and extremely delicious! We were served quite quickly. I highly recommend this restaurant and will definitely be coming back!

Had a standard breakfast with tea and it was the perfect start to my day. Not too busy, staff was a little hard to track down but they gave us everything we wanted which was great. The interior is eccentricity decorated with plenty to look at. The Bloody Mary was good as well.

Gorgeous little cafe in a really cute area. I hung out here for a bit while we were waiting for our lunch reservation and the staff are just the nicest. The bartender was especially kind, and she let me just read and sip tea quietly instead of pushing me to buy food

Fully digging the Miami Vice vibes. Beautiful decor and delicious food. Ordered more than we could handle for two but we couldn’t stop and left super stuffed. The margarita is intoxicating, literally and figuratively. Topher was a wonderful server and if you get him at your table side taking care of you, consider yourselves lucky!

I love the ambiance inside; it’s intimate with great aesthetics. I ordered a delicious omelet filled with goat cheese. It's a great place for a chat, although it can get crowded since it's linked to the hotel. I recommend making a reservation if you're going on a date, just to be safe.
