Finally got down to trying Penelope’s for brunch.. and it didn’t disappoint! They don’t take rezzies for brekkie / brunch so first come first serve The outside nook is great for people watching.. standout was the pancakes. The blueberry compote wasn’t overpowering or overly sweet Refreshing to find an all day contemporary American cafe with a couple healthier options. The Greener than Green bowl was solid.. came with 2 eggs any style, mixed greens, asparagus, cucumber, French beans, peas, roasted butternut squash, avocado & red quinoa.. filled me up too!
Excellent service, the host made us feel welcomed and the waiter was attentive. The mimosa lived up to its reputation. We had the avocado toast and greener than green bowl- not only was it FRESH tasting, but it was super favorable.Food: 5/5
Had the avocado toast for brunch, with smoked salmon extra. It was decent, though the toast wasn't toasted, and I prefer the toast toasted. The matcha latte is also standard. Waitstaff was very friendly.Food: 4/5
Had to make it to Penelope’s on our engagement replay weekend! Visited for brunch 7 years ago the day after we were engaged and had and wanted to relive that experience. Start to finish it was just as wonderful. I went with the crab cake Benedict special of the day which was served in a croissant while Josh packed an omelette full of goodies - spinach, mushrooms, tomatoes, cheese and bacon. Both dishes came with a side of their breakfast potatoes and they brought a plate of biscuits with a delightful jam. Hands down hope, pray, call ahead - whatever your vibe - that the crab cake Bennie is being served the day you visit because it was da$n delicious. Our server happened to be the bartender and he was a pro managing a bar full of customers and drinks for the restaurant. Also as a side note they have two outdoor seating areas that are heated during the colder season. Everyone should give this restaurant a try - you won’t be disappointed.
I loved it here. It was peaceful and warm inside. Everyone was polite and welcoming. I never felt rushed to leave. I know people get breakfast and brunch so I got something else entirely and it was delicious. I loved the décor and the size…it’s a touch bohemian. I was visiting from out of town so the restaurant is in easy walking distance from many hotels in the Chelsea/Manhattan area, if you’re looking for a wonderful place to dine. I also had a lemonade and a peach Bellini. The Bellini was out of this world. Not only was it delicious, it was pretty to look at. The pricing is very reasonable considering the generous portions you receive. My experience here was lovely.
Hmmmmm. An interesting one to review. I love a breakfast diner in Manhattan - plenty to choose from, let's be honest. This place doesn't quite capture the 'diner' vibe, for me. Food was good ish. I chose smoked salmon on croissant, poached eggs on top. All very delicious. Home fries, however, were not good. Lots of paprika and onions, boiled potatoes, hadn't really seen a hot griddle, or any oil, at least not today, more like a microwave on this morning, and I didn't like those at all, I'm saddened to reveal. I won't go back here, and it's not the food. It's the service. I didn't find it friendly. I didn't feel welcome. Bottomless house blend coffee ought to mean hot fresh coffee coming round for top ups continuously. But the staff are more interested in themselves and what's on their cell phones than doing this. When I asked the server who brought my plate of food for a top up, he acknowledged a yes, went over to the bar, told the waitress, who then came over to me to ask if I wanted more coffee. She hadn't brought any with her. It felt like I had the audacity to suggest it in the first place. Not a relaxing, chilled, welcoming vibe. Easy to fix. But I'm not sure they would get what I mean. They don't seem to understand the New York diner 'vibe'. One more thing. If it says bottomless coffee is $4 on your blackboard, why does it say $4.50 on my check? Plus tax of course
Came here for Saturday brunch. Seats were a little crammed, but the food was great! Biscuits were amazing—served warm and moist. Cocktails were on point. Blueberry pancakes and the croque madame were average. Penny Egg Sammy on croissant was good, but the scrambled eggs inside were bland.Food: 4/5
This was such a great find! My sister and I were just walking and the French onion burger on their menu caught my eye. When we sat and really looked at the menu, everything sounded amazing, and we had gotten there just before brunch ended. Our server Paulina was the absolute sweetest and she was able to provide her recommendation along with great conversation and superb service. We started with the biscuits which were so perfectly hearty and buttery with the perfect crust. The drinks were also very well made! The French onion burger was so so good and I got compliments on the food by strangers walking by who saw the delicious gooey gruyere and smelled the fragrant caramelized onions on the perfectly cooked burger. My sister got the seafood trio pasta which she said tasted like the ocean came to life. I even got their Mac and cheese to go, and snook a bite and it was PHENOMENAL! It was so much food and a great experience and all for under $100! Wheelchair accessibility: There was an older couple there who were in a wheelchair and they maneuvered perfectly fine! However indoors does not have a ramp to sit.
I totally love the idea of French onion soup burger. It literally hits my spot. Caramelized onion, cheese and double juicy patties. Who would say no to it!? And the blueberry pancakes are thick like sponge cake. Also, drinks are amazing, especially the vanilla cream one. Service is good. Price is affordable. Definitely will go back again and try something else.
The food here is beautiful, the atmosphere was very cozy, and the waitress was super helpful. We enjoyed our breakfast this morning. The french toast was exquisite, beautiful combination of the tender bread loaf with the sweet maple syrup compliment by delicate fruit. The scrambled eggs in croissant was lovely too!
