The Corcoran GroupMarch 4, 2013Make reservations and come with a large group of friends and enjoy brunch with unlimited champagne cocktails in the back garden. We'd recommend the Wake & Bake or the Shakshuka.
Village VoiceAugust 4, 2014On the expensive side, everything is typically tasty and well prepared, especially a sprightly salad of seared scallops and shaved fennel and a tartine smothered in Parmesan and garlic mayonnaise. Read more
Su ParkNovember 30, 2015The Amish bacon is delicious - a great combo of sweet and savory. Oeufs paradou is decent. Champagne cocktails are free flowing - shared 7 carafes for 4 people in 2 hour time slot.
Kenny TMarch 16, 2015Very fun brunch atmosphere. They play new music from an iPhone and if you have a fun crowd people will dance in the back
DavidFebruary 1, 2014BF: Deal: Prix fixe brunch with AYCD champagne for $29 (for parties of two to seven). Price increases with more people. Bonus: The atmosphere is really rowdy and you’ll feel like you’re out clubbing.
Ann AllegaOctober 30, 2013This is the most amazing place for Sunday Brunch with the funnest staff ever! Plan on staying several hours, they rock! Book in advance.
Nandi AndersonSeptember 21, 2015Delicious food. Great mimosas. The staff is extremely hospitable. Gorgeous restaurant.
Ashley RudolphJanuary 4, 2015Perfect spot for a party brunch with a group of friends. Decent food, and good service but only 1 bathroom for the entire restaurant :-/
Alison FlammDecember 1, 2013Enclosed back garden area is great for sunny winter days. (Also, be careful with the champagne brunch, those pitchers are generous.)
Nicolette RomeroSeptember 27, 2014Most fun I've ever had at a boozy brunch! The back garden turns into a dance party in the afternoon. Drink up!- Village VoiceAugust 4, 2014Try "bruschetta francaise" and pressed sandwiches that run from the expected (ham and Gruyere) to the unexpected (duck rillettes and capers). Read more
Paulo BaccaratApril 18, 2014Great meal and fair price. However, it was the first time in the US someone did not bring the full change. They kept the coins.
TerrellJanuary 7, 2014Deal: Prix fixe brunch with AYCD champagne for $29 (for parties of two to seven). Yelp rating: 3/5 stars Bonus: The atmosphere is really rowdy and you’ll feel like you’re out clubbing.
Erin LaneAugust 10, 2011Great for bday brunches -- all-you-can-drink champagne cocktails w/ delicious food. 2-hour time limit on the drinks so wait until your whole party has arrived to kick things off.
The Spark GroupMarch 27, 2012Unlimited champagne brunch for $29 (entree & cocktails) will leave your wallet and your stomach happy. Though that probably isn't true for your liver.- Village VoiceAugust 4, 2014The pre fixe brunch, with unlimited champagne, is a good deal, especially if you can score a table in the delightful garden.

Vasanti Wall-PersadJuly 4, 2014Pulled pork is seriously delicious! My hungover husband thought it the best brunch item ever!
Sally YaganNovember 30, 2013Best rack of lamb yet, and the octopus apple was delish! Can't wait to return!
Christina ChinJune 14, 2015Don't get wake n bake, it's good but I think there are better dishes to try there. Brunch is overpriced imo for larger parties
Kenneth StearnsSeptember 1, 2011Yeah, brunch is great but don't overlook the other cullinary delights. Ask Abi at the bar for whatever you want and he'll take care of you.
Johannah RogersMay 19, 2013Great food. Don't order the scallops and rock shrimp unless you're in the mood for raw...
Sahm AdrangiAugust 6, 2011Burger was nothing special, nor was shakshuka. And they don't serve bloody marys for brunch. Nice garden though. And as gehres says "its like a beautiful day in a dance club garden"
Thomas WoodDecember 7, 2013Prix Fixe brunch with AYCD champagne for $29 (for parties of 2 - 7; price increases with more people)
The VyneAugust 1, 2010$29 all you can drink champagne brunch is a must do. Make sure to try the Sassy Sausage Sandwich - it definitely lives up to the name!
Bitches Who BrunchOctober 15, 2015The Bitches say: D-. It’s completely unacceptable for restaurant management to cuss out customers and on top of that, the food was mediocre at best. Save your money and go elsewhere in Meatpacking. Read more
Miguel LopezMarch 28, 2016Rowdy crowd. Must be the result of good music and bottomless booze. The food was just okay.
2Plus2NYCReviewMay 29, 2011Classy, delicious, and warm… I will certainly be back! Can’t wait for brunch!...Check out the rest of our night here. Read more
Ingram LeGrandJuly 27, 2014This was one of the worst experiences I've ever had. I would not recommend it if your party is big. We waited nearly 3 hours for food that wasn't all that good. I will a NEVER come back to this place.
Jillian AApril 20, 2014Skip it. Overpriced, overrated, and the staff rushes you out and is very rude while they do so. There are endless brunch spots in Manhattan that are light years better and friendlier. Keep looking.
IdealchefMay 18, 2010Beet Tarte Tartin is a must have if you visit!!!
Morgan AveryMarch 15, 2014Everyone is annoying and everyone is wearing sunglasses and the music is too loud. #hater- Aundrea EichmanJuly 13, 2014Waiting for my party for brunch. Was told I can't sit at the bar and wait as it is full of patrons. Umm... Am I not going to be a patron? Maybe I will order a drink at the bar? #jerks
Incredible dinner. Amazing new fall menu. Ah can't get en
Donald CooleyJuly 27, 2014This place is horrible for large parties. We waited over 2 hours and they only took $55 off the check for a party of 13. I will tell people again and again this place sucks. EFFIN ridiculous
