I stopped by Day Line Oyster Bar + Kitchen for brunch recently. The place wasn't too busy and I could sit wherever I wanted. After I took a seat at a high long booth seat, the server arrived with menus and a bottle and cup of cold water.
For a starter, the Citrus Ceviche ($14 plus tax) was nicely presented with a mole spread topped with the chopped shrimp, pico de gallo and a few thicker crisp tortilla chips. For a brunch entree, the Hash and Eggs ($32 plus tax) was served in plate bowl which had very firm roasted fingerling potatoes, shallot, bell peppers, baby spinach, Jonah crab, Maine lobster claw meat, Old Bay hollandaise, and signature caviar (eggs). This filling dish had an interesting mix of ingredients, but the overall taste was on the salty side. I did find a couple small crab shell in the crab meat, but otherwise the Hash & Eggs was a solid dish.
After I finished my brunch, I had enough and got the check, which was $49.68 with tax and before tip. There was a QR code on the check, which allows for online payment through Toast.
Overall, the food I ordered was pretty good and the server was efficient getting food to me promptly. I will have to come back when the weather is nicer, so I can eat outside on the deck looking at the Hudson River.
