Stephanie Thomas: Hard to go wrong here. Poached eggs and any pancake is a great way to go. The lemon ricotta miracle pancake is my favorite! Hope to see it back sometime soon.

Ashley Yuki: La mer Benedict (crab is sooo scrumptious!) and the lemon ricotta pancakes (complete w the most delectable lemon curd!). Worth the wait for brunch!

Foodspotting: Try the Lemongrass Beef Pho
Anna Schwartz: Lemongrass beef pho is legit.
matt knox: All of the spicy beef pho (aka lemongrass pho, I think), the normal beef pho and the (huge) carpaccio are excellent. I didn't like the shaken beef that much, though.
