    We wound up at the Neptune Room and had a great brunch with a 'complimentary' cocktail. The eggs benedict were delicious.
    Thanks to this post, lots of new places to try.

      I may be too late now, but for future reference, there is also Telepan that serves up delicious Saturday brunch on UWS!

        good enough to eat has seen better days. I have eaten at Viand in the past and is just ordinary, Barney Greengrass is an institution wonderful Nova like butter, popover cafe is terrible to me. I have not tried Isabella.?

          I too like Barney Greengrass and Popover Cafe (popovers with strawberry butter mmmmm).

          If you are further up on the UWS, we also like Roth's Westside Steakhouse (93rd & Columbus; excellent french toast) and Gabriela's (94th & Columbus; Mexican).

              If you want the newest addition to the list, Jonathan Waxman's Madeliene Mae on Colombus at 82nd.

                A list of the "standards":
                Good Enough to Eat
                Sarabeth's
                Isabella's
                Ocean Grill
                Fairway Market Cafe
                Popover Cafe
                Ej's Luncheonette.

                Personally, I just head to my favorite diner, Viand.

                All of the foregoing places tend to be crowded on weekends.

                  I am a fan of Sarabeths. Any place that makes home made jam gets my vote.

                  Isabella's is great, but I really cannot pass up the lox at Barney Greengrass. It's just too good.

                    2nd Barney Greengrass.

                    I also like Nice Matin and The Neptune Room.

                      the things I love about Barney Greengrass: the smoked fish (all of them), the servers (they can carry on cogent, funny, philosophical convos while balancing coffee cups and platters of fish, they're not omnipresent and also not completely absentee, and they have a sense of self respect), and the divey digs.

                      what i don't like about bg: all of the food other than the smoked fish.

                      i don't send ppl there unless i know they love smoked fish (or lox, i guess) and don't mind or actively like the no-frills atm.
