Fri Oct 16 17:41:05 -0700 2009 5109289 164988 rkaene 2 5109907 I have to say, I have had completely the opposite experience at Compass: the food was unusual and very good, with a slightly different approach including a platter of delicious appetizers for the table, individual entrees, and the same assorted platter approach for dessert. Excellent service. I didn't like the food or service at the one brunch I had at Telepan, but it has its fans. Nice Matin is a lovely spot, and though I have not been for brunch I hear it is very good and I believe it is served Saturdays. 201 W 79 St New York, NY 10024 (212) 873-6423 Sat Oct 17 05:28:44 -0700 2009 5109305 110897 City Kid 1 5110502 Had brunch at Telepan a couple weeks ago and I was extremely underwhelmed. I was there with ten other people, and none of us were impressed. Sat Oct 17 11:56:34 -0700 2009 5109289 241434 uwsister
