I ended up with possibly the best breakfast sandwich I've ever had -- Taylor ham, scrambled eggs, pepper jelly and cheese on an everything bun. Absolutely delicious.

With about a million places to get breakfast in NYC, the best compliment I can give is that I would absolutely come back here again.

Lady Blue has saved me twice now, when needing to grab dinner before a Broadway show. Yesterday (Sat) we got last minute tickets to an 8pm show and had to quickly find a place for dinner. Many of the spots in the Theater District were already booked from 5:30-7:30. Some were just way overpriced. I had been to Lady Blue before and liked it, and they had 6pm availability. When we arrived, it was lively but not unbearably crowded. The place is small with a few booths, but surprisingly the hostess brought the two of us to a full booth. It felt nice and luxurious! And we did not have to wait or fight for the table at all. Our waitress was very attentive, checking on us multiple times. As others have mentioned, this place is much more than a cocktail bar - they serve a wide variety of American food (flatbreads, burgers/sandwiches, entrees) - however the cocktails are fun and interesting too. My friend got the Magic Mermaid and I got the Chai Fashioned cocktail. Hers was so fun - blue in a fishbowl looking glass with a tail fin sticking out. Mine was a unique take on the typical Old Fashioned filled with spices. Next we got bacon-wrapped dates to start - absolutely delicious. Perfect mix of sweet and savory flavors of bacon, blue cheese, and date. For mains, we both got the Lady B Burger, which was a step up from the regular burger - we were able to order as we liked it (I got the bacon on the side). It also comes with a salad but you can pay extra for fries or tots. I got truffle fries, which hit the spot. The atmosphere was fun and relaxed - the music was kind of a remix of 70s hits and newer stuff. We were able to eat at comfortable pace, pay, and leave with plenty of time before our show. I will definitely be back!

The space has a gorgeous, upscale yet chill vibe, complete with an excellent soundtrack of old-school pop. Since I was dining solo, I sat at the bar. The bartender was incredibly friendly and attentive--she walked me through the brunch cocktail menu and we had a great chat about spirits (especially since I'm not a fan of Aperol). For food, I ordered the shrimp and grits with a side of bacon. It has been a while since I've had this dish, and it really hit the spot! The food was delicious, though the gravy was just a touch on the saltier side, but everything combined beautifully anyway. As an added bonus, the bathroom was spotlessly clean. I truly enjoyed my time here and will absolutely be back. Next time, I think I'll stick to the mimosas! Highly recommend.

The restaurant's host/hostess area is at the entrance when you walk in. Tiny yet non-problematic. Bar, indoor and outdoor seating are available. On this lovely sunny late afternoon I opted for outdoor seating. Outdoor sidewalk patio seating is much better than other restaurants. It is clear that a lot of thought was put into making this as comfortable as inside. I had a perfect view of staff outside making a few signature drinks. One was a tomato martini however I opted for a mocktail blueberry lavender drink which was scrumptious & refreshing. For dinner, the watermelon caprese and vegan pot pies were fresh, tasty and packed with flavor. I could eat this for days on end and not get bored! Can't wait to return. Maybe for breakfast the next time.

The burger was small to the eye but thicker than anticipated. It came with cheese, bacon, arugula, and fries. To my surprise I ate all of it. My dining companion had the grain bowl and enjoyed it. We washed this down with a Talea IPA and a cider, can't recall the name. Service was top notch. We even had an amuse bouche, cornbread with apple chutney. I tipped appropriately.

I will make note, we went on a Saturday night and it's very loud in there. They like to pump up the volume on the music so we had to yell at each other to talk. I say, this is probably a great spot to meet with friends during the week to catch up but if you want to go there during the weekend, go before it gets too loud.

I would recommend this place to others who are looking for a decent breakfast/lunch spot that takes no more than 15mins to serve your food. The place is packed so expect to wait a while or make reservations ahead of time. Maybe it was the lady's first day on the job. Everyone seemed busy but she looked lost that day, didn't really know what to do. When we asked for our coffee she had to go confirm with someone as if the ticket wasn't already sitting in front of her. if the management team can train her better, it will improve customers' experiences.

The breakfast menu has about four options, and when I asked the server what was gluten-free, she immediately let me know there were two choices. I ordered the eggs any style with potato hash, and she confirmed they have a gluten-free toaster. The toast even arrived with a gluten-free pick in it, and the food was excellent. We loved it so much we ate there for lunch later that day. They clearly label gluten-free items right on the menu. Since it was packed and we didn't have a reservation, we had to sit at the bar, which still worked out great. We shared the spinach and artichoke dip, which also came out with a gluten-free pick. They even have gluten-free beers and ciders listed on the menu, and I really enjoyed the Original Sin cider. For my main course, I ordered the Impossible burger with cheese on a gluten-free bun, and I was thrilled to find out their fries are made in a dedicated fryer. There was a brief moment when I took the pick out and a server panicked, saying "oh no, it's not gluten-free," but I let him know I had already removed the stick. Overall, the food and service were fantastic, and I would highly recommend it!
