    Outside seating
    Andrew L.

    Often passing Oscar's and seldom have the chance to either snag a seat/table -- so on a gorgeous afternoon at 3:30 when the place is empty from brunch, I came for a late lunch. Having read previous reviews of their amazing fish and chips, I had to try it out. There was outdoor seating but with intermittent showers and the wind I went inside. Though it was small and a bit hot it's still cozy. I ordered a Leffe and my meal and the host asked if I wanted bread (of course I did). The beer came nicely chilled. The fish and chips came later perfectly deep fried in a lite batter. There was one long and one shorter fillet (probably haddock) with lots of fries. For $25 in the west village with a cold beer, what more can one ask for. This will be my go to spot for no frills good food. Beer is lost is expansive and the real problem is getting a seat when it's during the rush. What a terrific find in a sea of expensive and upscale eating. And service was terrific as well!

    So cozy it may as well have been Oscar's living room. Chicken and waffles were a daunting task, but a rewarding one. Overall a nice, cozy experience for brunch.

    Fish n' chips
    Tony B.

    This place felt like a no-frills fish n' chip shop that one could come across in London (or somewhere in Belgium for that matter!). It's a very small, but cozy restaurant, and one could tell that those that own it care about the space and how well organized, clean, and put together it is. The sense of minimalism and European food brands (ex. malt vinegars) add charm to the simple setting giving off a non-pretentious, relaxed, ambience. The waiter was friendly and efficient. Now for the most important part: the food! The fish n' chips are deliciously superb. The cod tasted fresh. The batter was light, crispy, and spiced well. What was noteworthy was the tartar sauce. It has a unique tang to it that made the fish n' chips refreshing despite the fact that it's deep-fried. Maybe it was a usage of lime and celery? The chips were nice and crispy, but you could definitely taste the potato still. I ate the whole plate. A pleasant experience. I know where I'll go to get my fish n' chips next time I'm in Manhattan.

    Bread and butter

    BEST SALMON BURGER IN THE CITY. Place is really tiny but the food and staff are great. Everyone is so friendly, it feels like you're walking into their home. The salmon burger is always fresh! Not sure what's in that sauce but I can eat this everyday. Served with the crispiest French fries. They give complimentary bread and butter to start and the bread is so fluffy and toasted perfectly. Love love love!

    Glorious fish & chips.  Thought I couldn't finish such a generous portion, but I did!

    Appearances can be deceptive. This tiny (16 seats) place isn't real pretty, but boy can they cook! The friendly staff bring masterful fish & chips - a full beautiful fillet with paper thin coating, perfectly cooked. Fries that were cut onsite, not from a bag. Butternut squash soup generously served and scrumptious. Surprising menu options from their English/Belgian background, like a steak and kidney dish, bangers and mash, and tarte tatin (simple but exacting as to technique). My friend's halibut was perfect, the lovely sauce kissed with garlic. My only wish (aside from them moving next door to me) is brighter lighting which this lovely food deserves. And the prices are actually reasonable!

    eggs cocotte/baked eggs
    Marc F.

    Met a friend in the neighborhood for brunch. We had made reservations online but if you go early enough, or maybe get lucky, you won't need them. During the summer they had outdoor seating. The dining area is tight, with only a few tables inside and essentially in the kitchen. The server was helpful, gave recommendations for different options and kept checking in on us. Opted for the eggs cocotte for something lighter and the mash of the day, which I believe had roasted leeks. Eggs were cooked well, salad was a nice contrast, and rich mash. With a day filled with activities ahead of me, it took every bit of will power to not order a full english. But next time, I absolutely will.

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.

Service was so bad she deserved no tip whatsoever. On top of that, the food was overpriced and nowhere near worth the attitude.
