    Great little breakfast spot just south of Central Park, and a solid option for starting our day off right to tour the park. We enjoyed the bacon and eggs, French toast and the açaí bowl. All good choices. I was hoping the peanut butter açaí bowl would be less chocolatey and more peanut butter (protein) but it hit the spot. The espresso drinks were quality and gave us a boost. The sort of surprise is that they ask for sparkling or flat and bring you full size large bottles which can add to the final bill. I am sure we could have waved off and ask for "tap" as true NYers have told me. Anyway... I would return to this place. I also love the decor with live plants everywhere and the quirky lobby art including a DC and a large Nail art. The restrooms upstairs are a little odd to locate, but clean.

    What a beautiful vibe this place is. Awesome mixologists, the best calamari I've had in my life, a masterful DJ... and the plants, THE PLANTS. Chef's kisses to everyone at Jams

    Jams was decided as we were in Manhattan hotel and just wanted an amazing start of the day with good brunch ! I randomly picked it and was an ultimate treat It is also a hotel and a restaurant . I was lucky to get a reservation on a short notice . The place is like Amazon forest amazingly decorated and very fancy The food was really good . Would highly recommend it

    Came for thanksgiving brunch. Ambiance is nice and hotel is located in a great viewing spot for Macys thanksgiving day parade. The brunch offerings were good but not anything out of the ordinary. Service was consistent and the drinks were good. The hotel is also nicely decorated.

    Oysters
    Cathy B.

    Stopped by here for a quick bite while waiting for dinner. We happened to get there during their shake and shell time which kinda they're happy hour - drinks and oysters are special price. We were seated right away, lots of folks are there for HH. Vibes were vibing. Our server came pretty quickly and our food too. Since this is an in between meal for us - we only got oyster and they're jams kale salad which is TDF!!!! It's flavorful in every bite and all the right texture! The cafe is cute too and they have a good cocktail list. Come visit them if you're in the area

    Shakshuka with an order of toast on the side
    Amanda M.

    This was an interesting brunch. I loved the interior with all of the greenery. It was blustery day and it felt nice to sit inside and get a dose of spring & summer vibes. Shakshuka is one of my all time favorite dishes and I had never heard of "green" shakshuka so I decided to give it a go. Rather than a sauce with gooey eggs cooked into it on top, this dish was served with the eggs on the bottom and sautéed greens on top. I appreciated that the eggs were still a bit gooey and it was an interesting combination of flavors and textures. Not sure why it isn't served with toast so I ordered that on the side so I had something to scoop the concoction onto. This felt like a relatively healthy brunch and kept me feeling light on my feet for the rest of the busy day of walking around Manhattan. Coffee was just fine but service could have been more attentive. I couldn't figure out if there was a shift change while we were there and our server went home or who our actual server was, but it seems like we flagged someone different down every time.

    burrata and toast
    Terrilyn L.

    I love the ambience and the drinks. This spot is very well put together, the greenery that aligns the walls make it very inviting and comfortable to hang out. The bar menu is well crafted and the drinks seem to have been put together by a mixologist, because the combinations are interesting and unique in the same breath. Inflation is a bitch and you can expect to pay NYC pricing at this place, drinks averaging 21 dollars (including a glass of wine) but it's 2025 and anything worth having is 20 bucks, plus! I ordered a drink that was above my taste level and tried to stick it out but my bar tender saw my reaction and quickly asked if he could replace my drink. I traded in the mezcal drink on the menu for a specially made spicy margarita I highly recommend the burrata is to die for, soft, salty and soooo damn good!

    Order the chicken. And how often do you hear that recommendation. Order the chicken.

    Cappuccino

    we were trying to find a place early to have brunch so we stopped in this restaurant. Someone had recommended it. It's a very very limited menu and very expensive. We had avocados toast small salad for $23 and 2 cups of cappuccinos for a bill of $50 that's with tax and tip The waiter was very nice. We asked about the chocolate oats that I read in another review and he brought us a little sample of it. It was very good, but not something I want to eat the whole thing for brunch very clean decorate it nicely.

    Beautiful restaurant, very modern, lots of plants. I went there to catch up with a friend who was visiting NYC and we wanted a pretty place for a picturesque breakfast close to Central Park. I ordered the jams flatbread and it was absolutely delicious, savory but also sweet with the honey on top. I finished it, and washed it down with a refreshing grapefruit juice. Service was kind enough to let me in far before my reservation time to use the facilities and then sit at my table waiting for my friend to arrive. Not the best bang for your buck in terms of price, but good quality insta-worthy food and atmosphere! Cute place for brunch with a girlfriend.

    Hummus, summer salad, gnocchi, tortellini
    Tori S.

    Food Generally small in portion Hummus - Very delicious. Very nutty and creamy. Summer salad - Good Red pepper gnocchi - The beet feta cream was light yet creamy and the beet flavor is not overpowering. It was excellent. The gnocchi was not doughy, but chewy and also pillowy. Tortellini Carbonara - Loved that it was seasoned perfectly. Not too rich or oily sauce. Server Great service. Very nice, polite, and checks on you at the right timing. Atmosphere Very well decorated interior. Makes you feel relaxed and refreshed with a lot of greens.

    Loved the green interior. The food is decent. Nothing remarkable for the price, but I still always enjoy coming here for a quick breakfast

Think vintage wallpaper, little knick-knacks, and warm lighting. It's got character. I ordered the market salad with mixed greens, honeycrisp apples, goat cheese, candied pecans, and sherry vinaigrette. It was a hearty portion - super fresh and flavorful, and honestly more than I could finish (not a complaint!). I also ordered a Diet Pepsi with grenadine; they don't carry Diet Coke, which I almost docked a point for, but the mix was unexpectedly delicious. Highly recommend it. My date ordered the hanger steak and said it was absolutely amazing. Only hiccup: his first glass of wine he got came out hot... like, microwave-level warm. Fortunately, the server brought a new (cold) one and the rest of the meal was smooth sailing. Service was friendly, the vibe was homey and relaxed, and the food was solid across the board. Would definitely come back, especially for that salad and another round of grenadine magic.

We also wanted to try a classic pastrami on rye--but without committing to the long lines at Katz's Delicatessen. Sarge's ended up being the perfect alternative, just a quick five-minute walk from our hotel. We arrived around 5:00 pm on a Sunday and were seated right away, which already felt like a win. The meal started with coleslaw and both a half sour and full sour pickle--such a classic deli touch, and a great way to kick things off. I ordered the half sandwich with matzah ball soup, and the portion sizes were no joke. The soup alone could have been a full meal: a huge bowl with an equally massive matzah ball. The broth was warm and soothing, and the matzah ball was incredibly light with a perfect texture. The half pastrami on rye was just as impressive. Even "half" was stacked high with flavorful, tender pastrami. Adding a bit of mustard from the table brought everything together--it was simple, classic, and exactly what I was hoping for. Not only was it one of the more reasonably priced meals of the trip, but it was also genuinely satisfying. If you're looking for a no-fuss, traditional deli experience without the wait, Sarge's is a great option.

The sandwiches are huge so keep that in mind. They were willing to split ours into 3 to share.

Enjoyed the experience for a quick diner meal.
