| - Since I have been to the original location, I have higher expectation for the Gramercy location. From the rating, it is needless to say that my or my four friends' expectations were not met.
Ambiance: as soon as we walked in, we noticed they put much thoughts into interior designing this place compared to the other location. It's bright, spacious, and modern. It is quite a nice environment for a brunch that's not on the strip or casinos.
Service: the waiter was nice but the service from the bus fell short. It seems a bit unorganized. Also, each menu that we received had certain pages missing.
Food: overall, the food was way too salty, over seasoned and not very appetizing.
1. Money bread (5/5): probably the best thing we had on the menu. Not overly sweet, fluffy and chewy. From there, it went downhill on other dishes.
2. Pork belly green chilie (3/5): it's not bad for the first bite but it gets quite salty and greasy. Tortilla chips were soggy as well.
3 Pork belly Benedicts (2/5): can't taste much of the spice from the jalapeƱo hollandaise sauce but the saltiness. Benedicts were soggy. House potato was over cooked and over seasoned. Very different than the Benedicts I remember from the original location.
4 honeycomb cappuccino (4/5): it's pretty tasty and the portion is huge too.
Overall, I might give this place a shot again for dinner but may not be returning for brunch anytime soon.
