    This venue offers craving inducing food with portions that are beyond generous. The staff is excellent, professional and friendly. This place is great for groups: please see my pictures with the custom extended chesterfield leather sofas. And the decor makes for a bright a cheery breakfast or brunch no matter the weather. My favorite go to is the blueberry pancakes. The breakfast tacos are delicious as well. There are veggie/vegan options. I really enjoy their coffee drinks. All of their lattes are delicious. I highly recommend. Great for catching up with family, friends, post game, breakfast dates or just because.

    Great sitdown breakfast spots. Staff were super friendly and environment was very peaceful. All the food was delicious, Nutella crepes are a must!

    Corned Beef Hash side

    Is there a better way to spend a snow day than to pack your friends into a four wheel drive truck and have a big breakfast! We got two kinds of baked omelettes, a Dutch baby (and one to go), a side of corned beef hash, and a huevos rancheros. I enjoyed them all other than the lemon sauce that comes with the Dutch baby. I'm not really a fan of sauces so maybe my take on it is skewed but I found it very sweet for a lemon sauce. I ate around the sauce and that part was quite good.

    Was craving some breakfast food so came here on a Sunday morning. Walk in only and it can get quite busy - we waited a little over 30 minutes for a group of 4 (which they did say it would be). Once our turn was up, we were seated and overall the waitress was friendly and addressed all our requests. For the four of us we got several different plates and all were quite good. Especially considering the price, the portions were pretty good - particularly the omelette which holy moly was gigantic. Ambiance is exactly in line with their other locations; casual and relaxed. It can get loud with how busy it is so just be prepared to speak up a little. If you're looking for solid breakfast food, can't go wrong with this spot.

    Side of Buttermilk Pancake

    Heard that the portions were on the larger side so decided to share among friends. Ordered the vegetarian omelette and it was indeed stuffed with mushrooms, broccoli, onions and Swiss cheese. It's baked and looked like a fat egg calzone. I think I would have liked it more without the cheese. It filled me up quickly and I feel I would have eaten more without the cheese. We also ordered the fresh fruit crepes. The topping was strawberries, blueberries and bananas. It comes with a side of mini pancakes. Usually not a fan of pancakes but these were chewy and not mushy and I actually liked it. Server was great - hats off to Island!!! Friendly and full of good conversation. Very attentive and a big smile! Place was clean. Make a note that this is a brunch house so it closes at 3p. All in all a good experience.

    If you're a breakfast person you can't go wrong with the food here. It's got all you need from breakfast platters to the fluffy minipancakes to wraps/sandwiches. We were absolutely stuffed. I thought the pancakes were the best part of the meal and so tasty. When we went on a weekend there was still ample seating. The parking and driving through Edgewater can be a bit of a pain. Otherwise, the restaurant itself I highly recommend. Service is also quick and friendly.

    Great food, great service and great ambiance! Long waitlist but got a table pretty fast! Very delicious food overall :)

    Great food !!! I would definitely recommend for breakfast.. The staff was friendly & food was fresh & quick .. I ate here multiple times during my stay in Jersey

    Still My Favorite After 3 Years I've been coming here for three years, and it never disappoints. The service is always warm, the place is stylish yet cozy, and it has that inviting, family-like atmosphere that makes you want to stay. The food is fresh and flavorful every time. You'll find options for every mood--whether it's a sweet start with fresh fruit, a hearty breakfast with meat, or a perfectly balanced combo of cheese, avocado, and eggs. Perfect spot for brunch with friends or a casual family weekend breakfast.

    Well seasoned but some are toasted too much in the skilled
    Eddie D.

    Great service and good food in the most part. The pancake is indeed the highlight of our visit as their name called. The pancake is softer than your usual diner pancake and thinner, soaking up the maple syrup. The omelet was too dry, I was hoping for more silky feel. The Dutch pancake is okay, not a fun with its sauce, too lemony for my liking. My chair was wobbling, which I felt a safety issue and I have to swap it to another chair.

    Potatoes

    The food was nice, pancakes lived up to the hype, but the potatoes could use some work. The service was nice, our waiter and the host were very nice and food came very quickly despite the large amount of people in the restaurant. And the interior decor was nice, and the flower design on the ceiling gave the place a very nice vibe. Would recommend to give a try!

    Alec M.

    The best pancakes in the United States. The service is amazing and the prices are great! Everything was delicious and we had the best service during our vacation! Thank you for even giving us a dessert when we said my wife is pregnant! They left on the check 1 - Awesome guest so I'm leaving 1 awesome review!

    Vanilla chi tea
    Sharon K.

    When it is a long line, it's worth the wait. Almost 1 hr wait but didn't get disappointed. Fabulous service, beautiful interior and great food. The iced vanilla chi is a bit weak. But love the Dutch baby with the lemon sauce. Other dishes are great too!

He mentioned to me that he knows a place in the neighborhood that has really good burgers. I usually go to my familiar spots, but I figured the way he was talking this place up for their burgers, I might as well give it a shot. Why not right? So we enter "Nobody Told Me", which is a new venue in the neighborhood, at least to me. It was cool. We sat at the bar. I asked for a menu and the Bartender just pointed to the menu that's on the wall. So I made my selection of Burger. I'm honestly probably a boring Burger person because for the most part I just like meat, cheese and bun. I mean, a nice fried egg over easy doesn't hurt. I've also done that with some mac & cheese, and it was incredibly delicious but also, very gluttonous to say the least. lol. In any case, I ordered my burger. Meat, cheese, and bun. I think it was a double Patti Smashburger maybe? And it came with some fries. The burger was good. It was actually better than what I expected. It was juicy without being all bloody and had flavor. It was also a pretty good size.. I mean I couldn't finish it.. I don't eat huge portions or meals.. The fries were good too. I might request a bit more crisp on the fries if I go back. That's just me.. But they were good nonetheless. Burger and fries also had a bit of a lite oniony flavor to them.. I guess to add some flavor.. As far as the vibe in the spot, it was cool. Room was dim as it was day time outside so it was chill. Seemed to be a pretty young crowd of new people who have recently moved in the neighborhood. Who knows? I've only lived here for 50 years.. but it was a cool experience.. They had some cool music playing lightly so you can carry a convo.. In any case, if you are looking for a pretty good burger, I'd give this place a try.. And there you go! Have a great one yall! -Ray

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!

I had their version of the lemon drop as well as another cocktail not on happy hour, one of their many espresso martinis.

Cute place but I probably won't be back.

We reserved for a quick bite at Redeye Grill before catching Dog Day Afternoon on Broadway, but as soon as we walked up, some bouncer told us they were closed for a private wedding reception. We were dazed and confused because how was I able to reserve online? But the real plot twist was that it ended up being the best thing that happened. We actually stumbled into Tanner Smith's thinking it'd be the typical, boring bar-food spot. Nope. They first sat us at a hi-top by the door, but that wasn't our vibe, so we grabbed seats at the bar instead. Best decision. Our bartender, Josiah, was absolutely killing it. My cocktail had passion fruit, so of course I asked my usual question: "But is it real passion fruit?" He just nodded in agreement and that told me everything I needed to know.

The shepherd's pie is insanely salty and it's very off-putting. It was inedible. I was looking forward to having it but I would not in good faith recommend this to anyone. The buttermilk tenders is supposed to come with pickled shallots and marinated green beans. We didn't get the pickled shallots or the marinated green beans, which was a shame. The chicken tenders by themselves didn't have much flavor. It also is unfortunate paying $17 for what was considered a small plate and just getting the chicken tenders. The Asian-sesame wings were okay. Also, didn't have much flavor and weren't that impressive. There was also still hair on some of the pieces of chicken, so the chicken could have been cleaned better. They have fries and hand cut fries. The regular fries were soggy. Should have went with the hand cut fries. The tater tots were okay. I was told that the chicken sandwich was good. It came with a little side of rustic chips. I would not come back for the food but I would possibly go back to try a drink if I was in the area. The drink menu looked pretty good.

The restaurant has an interesting history. Even though the original opened in Cresskill, NJ, it unfortunately has permanently closed. However, not only is the Edgewater location amazing, but it had the guts to open during COVID (2022), survived, and is succeeding. The restaurant is beautiful inside and outside. Their decorations are tasteful, the presentation of the food is award winning, and the service is stellar. I started with a Mocha Cappuccino and it was so good. Served in a large mug, an airy/creamy top, and had the perfect amount of mocha happiness throughout. Before the meal even started, we were graciously given Za'atar (a popular Middle Eastern spice blend with an earthy, tangy, and nutty flavor, toasted sesame seeds, and sumac, with salt). It was crunchy, drizzled with oil, and I enjoyed how each thin pita bite made the spices explode all over the table. The entrees were: Strawberry French Toast. The next was the Falafel Platter (chickpeas and fava bean balls, served with tahini sauce, pickles, turnips, tomato, and mint). The last selection was the Avocado Toast (Citrus cured salmon over multigrain bread, tomatoes, onions, capers & citrus vinaigrette). Not only were all of these dishes beautifully presented, but all were filling, as well. My Avocado Toast kept me full for the rest of the day and the salmon was enjoyably salty, thin, and delicious. I noticed a dessert in their display case and ordered it. The dessert was the Riz Bil Ashta (Lebanese rice cream, infused with orange blossom water, blended with milk and cheese, and topped with crushed pistachios). This dessert tasted like a regal custard and the pistachios added an enjoyable texture that makes it recommended. Of course, I had to cap the meal with a Mocchiato. This amazing beverage followed the rest of the meal..... delicious, eyes closed good, and every sip was full-flavored. Thank you, Madison Café and Grill, for presenting a memorable meal and I wish you continued success.
