I'm almost hesitant to write this review, because I'm afraid of too many people finding out about this hidden gem! 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! read more

Pre moulin rouge happy hour. Sat at the bar and they have comfortable bar stools which is a must. The bar tender was friendly but the drinks left much to be desired. I had their version of the lemon drop as well as another cocktail not on happy hour, one of their many espresso martinis. Both were just "meh" Also had the meatballs (also on happy hour) and while they were tasty, they were cold. Which surprised me because they came in a cast iron skillet. Cute place but I probably won't be back. read more

Really happy that we decided to go here for a casual birthday dinner for my sister! Planned on getting desserts at Spot so skipped those here. Ordered: Goat Cheese and Veggie flatbread + Salmon bowl w/ polenta and roasted veggies + Shutter Up + Pink Dragon cocktails. The flatbread and Shutter Up were some of the best I've had of each. The cocktail was truly perfect! I always go for the tequila/spicy/sweet/fruity combo and they did not disappoint. Had to get 2. Sis loved her salmon entree. Portion was generous, too. Vibes were great as was our waitress. They have a killer variety of Happy Hour menus/times and promos throughout the week, pictured. Will be back for sure read more

Lady Blue on a Saturday at noon right before the big snow storm. Brunch was overall delicious. Favorite was chicken & waffles appetizers. Least favorite was shrimp&grits (I do not recommend this dish as grits were extremely thick) We enjoyed the bottomless mimosas and trendy music in the background Plan to return again soon read more

This place might show up as a cocktail bar on Google Maps and Yelp, but honestly, it serves one of the best brunches in the city. The vibe is a little dimmer than your typical bright-and-airy brunch spot, but it actually adds a cozy, intimate feel -- perfect for slow weekend mornings, catching up with friends, or even a casual date. The brunch selection is gorgeous, both visually and flavor-wise. Their bread quality is especially impressive -- fresh, warm, and honestly better than what I've had at many dedicated bakeries. Everything feels thoughtfully made. I've been here twice already, and both experiences were fantastic. Consistent food, great atmosphere, and a relaxed energy that makes you want to linger a bit longer. Whether you're looking for a chill hangout spot or a low-key date brunch, I'd definitely recommend adding this place to your list. read more

Came here for brunch before a show and the food was delicious. You can tell they use a lot of butter but they only made things better personally. The eggs in the BEC muffin was soft and tasty and the "spicy" jam sauce added to it. However it wasn't spicy at all. My mother really enjoyed the burger. She stated it didn't need any ketchup and it was really moist. Overall I would def recommend eating here before a show since it's only a block away from some of the more popular broadway shows read more

Stopped in for brunch on Sunday around 1 PM. Tried a bloody Mary chicken waffle sliders the lemon ricotta pancakes. Nice place good service, clean, lively atmosphere with sports games on the TVs. Bloody Mary was solid. Nice and "meaty" mix with good spice. Pancakes were excellent. Thin, moist, flavorful and good portion size. Chicken sliders were a miss. While the dish was optically pleasing, the chicken was bone dry and those little waffles were saturated. Hard to get small breast meat moist without brining. The berry compote was good but the star of the dish not so much. Would still return to try other dishes. read more

Came here for a Sunday brunch at 2:30pm. I got the hugo spritz, which was delightful but I'm almost always a fan of St. Germain. We shared the french toast squares, which comes with 3 pieces. A nice little dish albeit small. I got the omelette which is nice portions, but it was more overcooked than how I like my omelettes. I got the turkey bacon add on, which I appreciated the portion size (3 large pieces I think). read more

We were walking around and decided to stop in for a few drinks. Definitely a moody vibe inside that's intimate. Plenty of seating at the bar for a Saturday night and had a few people dining.

Came in for a brunch date last Saturday with a reservation for 1:30PM. We were seated immediately, I've looked at the menu prior and was def interested in a few items. After checking on Yelp, I've noted that some items are relatively small portion sized so it did eliminate a few choices of mine. A good portion of items are only available during dinner* While the decor and ambiance in the restaurant gave off a lowkey ambiant chic vibe, the service was extremely slow. Right from placing our orders to waiting on our food (we didn't order any appetizers), we had to flag down servers to even get their attention. We waited about an hour for our foods and drinks to come in. While the food was great, I wouldn't come back here again. It was extremely frustrating to have to watch them seat people, walk by our table so many times but don't even acknowledge us. read more

My friends and I stopped by Lady Blue's for a Sunday brunch before seeing Six on Broadway. When we walked in it had such a cool vibe to it. Almost like an art deco type decor and we were here for it. My friends and I were seated in one of the booths. It was very comfy. We all decided to do the bottomless mimosas with our brunch entree. The bartender came by to explain that it was for an hour and they have a strict policy about that. Totally understand! We each had three mimosas. If you have two, you've saved money, so go for it! Also, the bartender was very on top of refilling our drink. Just before the hour was up, she came by with three new glasses to make sure we were able to fit in another round. That was so nice! The food was pretty good. The frosted flake french toast squares that we had for an appetizer was the standout. It was soooooo good. I wish I ordered multiple orders! All of us ordered the Eggs Benedict but different ways. I had the original, my one friend had it with avocado, and my other friend has it with bacon. Our meals came out lukewarm and were just ok. If we go back, I will definitely pick something different as we all thought our Eggs Benedicts were only ok. Overall, it was a nice spot to have bottomless drinks and brunch. I would definitely try it again and have something different. read more

Jolene was an amazing server. I sat outside solo for brunch. I considered ordering the shrimp & grits but went with the traditional egg Benedict with Bacon and it was PERFECT. They definitely do not skimp on the bacon. The eggs were perfectly cooked and the hollandaise had great flavor. The English Muffin was toasted. And my salad was perfectly dressed. Of course I paired the brunch main with bottomless drinks. I had the Hugo Spritz and a Bloody Mary (they let you switch it up). The ampint of horseradish made me so happy. Perfect meal. Perfect service. I will be back! read more

This is a late post. I went to this venue for a birthday celebration on a Tuesday afterwork. I got out of the car, and I did walk past the restaurant. The interior of the restaurant is nicely decorated. It is a venue that keeps the lighting low. On Tuesday they had a Teeny Tinis Tuesdays special where classic and specialty martinis were on special. I tried the Pornstar martini, and it was delicious. To eat I had the Steak Frites and the roasted cauliflower. The cauliflower wasn't good because the chimichurri sauce made the cauliflower soggy. The Steak Frites was delicious. Overall, I had a great time and would definitely return to try some other drink specials and food. read more

Really happy with our experience! The food was really good and drinks were amazing. Literally have no complaints. I had the lady blue omelette and my friend had the steak and eggs.

Our server was Jolene & id recommended her x1000 over! Great place. 10/10 recommend. read more

When visiting New York City, Lady Blue IS the spot for a weekender's brunch! You have your inndoor and outdoor seating available. Endless mimosas for $28 hit just right, although I wasn't impressed to know that the champagne served were $5 bottles. However, the overall brunch experience made up for this little knowledge. The presentation and flavor of everything I ordered left me speechless -- such the vibe I wanted to start my day off with. My server had great energy, very attentive, and I didn't feel rushed. From the music to the decor, the ambiance strikes the perfect balance between relaxed and lively....also great photo opps for your socials! Will return. read more

I got a group together for dinner in the area but the restaurant we chose was still waiting to get their liquor license, so as soon as we finished our meal we booked it to the closest highly rated cocktail bar and found ourselves at Lady Blue. They're a full service restaurant and was definitely giving more restaurant energy than cocktail bar energy which had me worried but once the drinks came out my concerns melted away. Every subsequent drink had me oohing and ahhing at the beautiful presentation. The Pink Dragon is good for mezcal lovers-- dragonfruit is the main flavor profile but it also has habanero in it, which provides a nice kick to complement the smokiness of the mezcal. Our group also got a turmeric cocktail, a drink inspired by Thai ice tea, and a charcoal based cocktail served in a swan shaped glass that I adored. Service was slow despite the place sitting mostly empty, but they may have been working through some growing pains. I think that now they've been open a while they may be more packed than when I first visited, so make a reservation if you're planning a visit on the weekend. read more

Strictly a review on drinks. Came here on a Friday night during happy hour and got the passion fruit margarita and old fashioned. We were able to get a table quickly, drinks arrived quickly. It's a nice space. The passion fruit margarita and old fashioned came in short glasses, so not a whole lot of drink. The passionfruit margarita was super sweet and was like drinking a melted sour patch kid with sugar that did not pack a punch. The old fashioned was not that great as well. read more

Had a great brunch here with my friend. We had the earl grey martini which was delicious! I ordered the breakfast flatbread and my friend ordered the Lady Blue burger which both were delicious! Service was good! We were sitting next to the bar by the area where they put the dishes so it was a bit loud when they put the dishes into the bin. Other than that we had a great time here. Would love to come back and try other drinks! read more

Came to Lady Blue with my college son for brunch before going to see a Broadway show. Ambiance is comfortable as we sat at the bar and had a nice view of the place. Julissa was our server and bartender and anticipated all our needs: big bottle of water, a small plate for sharing, and checking in on us despite being very busy. Love their Hugo Spritz! We got the flatbread with fried egg on top, and the shrimp with grits. Both were yummy. I def recommend this place! read more

Fun vibe. Attractive decor, good appetizer choices from an interesting menu. It was the perfect stop for happy hour, after our play.

Brunched here a few weeks ago and left full, tipsy, and slightly confused by the bathroom journey. Let's start with the good stuff: The waffle sliders? Don't skip them. Top-tier. Best thing on the menu, hands down. I'd come back just for those little sweet-and-savory masterpieces. The flatbread? A yes. Lemon ricotta pancakes? Also a yes. Fluffy, zesty, and delightful like a brunchy cloud of happiness. Now, the drinks... We did bottomless (because, obviously), but every time we asked for a refill, we got the vibe that we were personally ruining someone's day. Like... sorry for drinking what we paid for? The space is super cute perfect for a boozy brunch moment or an Instagram story you'll regret later. The bathroom, though? After three rounds, it felt like I was walking into a funhouse maze. Very Alice in Wonderland after a mimosa bender but hey, I'm not here to rate bathrooms. I'm here for food and cocktails. Would I come back? If I'm promised waffle sliders and a less emotionally-charged mimosa refill situation... absolutely. read more

We stopped at Lady Blue for their Sunday brunch menu. I loved the ambiance and whole look of it. The options for brunch were plentiful it was hard to choose. I went with the steak & eggs. All of my friends enjoyed their meals. The highlight though was bottomless mimosas/spritzes. Only reason for not the 5 stars was the med rare steak I requested was more med well (but still delicious and tender). And my friends requested over hard egg was over easy. read more

Went here for brunch after seeing the ratings on Yelp and hearing it's good from the reviews, I was not impressed. Maybe my pallet requires more flavor but their chicken sliders lack flavor and the shrimp and grits was good and had flavor. Also had the truffle fries and it was the best thing we had. Can't comment on the drinks because we didn't have any but overall a good ambiance spot. read more

I made a reservation here for the day after I had gone to Dolly Varden. The second I walked in I was like, "are we in the same restaurant we went to yesterday?" Then I looked at the menu and, sure enough, the exact same menu. The only difference is that the food is smaller. - the corn flake crusted French toast from Dolly Varden was the exact same, just cut into smaller pieces here. The chicken and waffles from Dolly Varden was just given as sliders with a smaller portion here. Overall, the service was good. The food was pretty good, albeit small. And the restaurant was cute. My cocktail (Up in Smoke) was very sweet, but had a great presentation. read more

Came here for brunch on a Sunday with my mom and my sister. I made reservations and they quickly took us to our table. The place itself is pretty cute. They were out of soft drinks when we got there. We got the wing appetizer, which was really good. We all got the brunch burger, which was OK. The truffle fries were also average. Not a bad place to stop if you're in the area. A little slow on service but not horrible. read more

This is the perfect intimate spot to grab a quick delicious bite and drinks before a show. I've been here multiple times and it's consistently great. Some faves are their: - Earl Gray Martini - Pear Spritz - Stinger Flatbread, which is a really big portion and great for sharing - Djon Deviled Eggs - Loaded tots, good portion size here too - Truffle Berry Melt - Fried Olives They change their menu around every so often, but I've never had a bad bite here. I'm almost tempted to gatekeep this place, as it's usually easy to snag a reservation. Looking forward to coming here many times over! read more

We came to Lady Blue on a saturday morning to try their bottomles brunch and it was an excelent choice. I had the avocado toast, which was very tasty and filling with a side of potatoes. For drinks I stuck with the aperol Spritz which is my latest obsession. I was very excited to see a place serving different bottomless drinks that the traditional mimosa. Although they were a bit under staffed and the drinks took longer than expected, they bent the rules for the 2 hour limit, as they knew they were slower than usual . could use more staff but the people who were there were super nice and working as hard as I've ever seen anyone work a brunch read more

Bartender was so friendly and made great conversation and great drinks. I'm actually a waffles over pancakes kinda girl, but decided to take the risk and I'm so happy I did. These were genuinely the best pancakes I've ever had. Really loved my experience here and will be adding it to my list of go to bottomless brunch spots. read more
