Steak and eggs
Erin H.

We came for brunch today. The food was fantastic and the setting was beautiful. It was hard to find our server as brunch service kicked up, but we were plenty content with our drinks and food!

Truffle BEC
Ryan W.

I went here for Valentine's Day w/ my significant other for a fun Brunch. This cafe is in the lower level of the hotel, but the decor and setup was very warm. The coffee was good along with the service. I got truffle BEC, but the cool part was the bread was a made-from-scratch Popover! It was tasty along with the Olive Oil pancakes were so good and not as dense as I thought it was going to be. Overall, this place is worth coming again for brunch, we didn't have any of the cocktails but they were very reasonably priced.

Finally grabbed dinner here and the overall experience was positive. Unfortunately the entire main dining area was closed for a private function but the very few tables in the lobby area (this restaurant is in the Walker Hotel), were available. We missed the happy hour drink deals by just 2 minutes! as we were seated at a comfortable table. I browsed the menu and enjoyed the live Big Band music that kicked off. The ambience resembled a speakeasy or library which translated to cozy, charming and sultry due to the dim lights.. The dinner menu wasn't as extensive as the brunch menu and I found it a bit difficult to make a selection. Since I don't eat red meat, it left me with three choices from the main section: Risotto, Halibut or the Organic Chicken. Not feeling any of those selections, Pizza was the choice for both of us. As far as drinks were concerned, i was craving an iced cold can of Diet Coke with my pizza. Unfortunately, they only carry the draft variety which I really don't like so I was forced to order an unsweetened Iced Tea since I was going alcohol free. There were some good wine and beer choices on the menu. Next time. Before the pizza arrived, two hot and flaky mini brioche were brought to the table. These were SO good and irresistible. Starting with a carb knowing my meal would be rich in carbs wasn't my intention, but these delightful rolls were complimentary and too good to pass up. The Margarita pizza arrived shortly thereafter. Six slices/12 inches in diameter and excellent. Great balance of cheese to sauce ratio with a nice thin crust although I wish it had more of a crispy hold to it since the slices kind of flopped down. Truth be told, I wish we chose an appetizer and shared one pizza because it was quite big for me but Id recommend the Margarita ($20) as an excellent choice. I'd like to return again to try other selections on the menu for dinner. I lean towards favoring Society Cafe when it comes to Brunch but overall, this is a great spot for a delicious meal at any time of the day.

Overall rating: 4.8 Price: $70 pp w/ tax & tip (total of 2x) I don't go to hotel restaurants enough. But this place is so beautiful! Items ordered: - Espresso martini: 7/5 sooo good - Latte: 5/5 solid; make sure you ask for sugar when you get served! I went on a Saturday and after a moment, we lost track of our server. Couldn't get it until the latte was cold. - Brisket Burger: 4/5 pretty good. Fries were delicious. The sauce in the burger is great for the fries. - Shakshuka Egg 5/5: my friend got this and said it was delicious The staff was really friendly when we were able to signal to them. It took a bit of time to get the check but it was still a lovely place. Def recommend for a cute date spot!

There are many hidden gems in the city, and we came across one last Sunday. Society Cafe, inside the Walker Hotel on 13th St, is a sublime mixture of beautiful decor, architecture, service and food that is a joy to experience. We made reservations (recommended for brunch) and were seated in a spacious and comfortable booth. We enjoyed cocktails (their Mimosa Margaritas and Peach Bellinis were light and delicious, perfect for a brunch). Entrees included Truffle B.E.C. (truffled bacon, egg and cheese in an herb popover - chef's kiss!), Market Omelet (caramelized onion, gruyere & wild mushrooms that day - wonderful) and Farmer's breakfast (two eggs any style, Applewood bacon, toast - fresh and delicious). Service was gracious and efficient, but we never felt rushed. We moved on to dessert, where we shared the house-made tiramisu (tremendous flavor and so light!) and chocolate bread pudding (with chocolate sauce and marshmallow ice cream - totally decadent!) and fresh-brewed coffee. Our thanks to our server Andres and especially manager Hayley, who helped us with celebrating our friends' wedding anniversary. This was one of the best brunches we've ever had in the city, and the space was gorgeous. Pictures are below. This was our first, but definitely not last visit!

Came with 4 friends on a Sunday morning. It's a beautiful spot and we were seated promptly. The food is good, the vibes are better! Cute brunch spot with reasonable prices and great service.

4 huge pancakes too much
A'Yanna E.

My color scheme! Lovely service and atmosphere. Great food. They should bring back the chicken breakfast sandwich that others posted on Yelp...it looked really different (standout) and good. I was sad they didn't have it so I settled for what I usually don't eat -- pancakes since they came with fruit. I had to take 2 of the pancakes to-go AS THERE WERE 4! lol that's a lot! Ultimately, I thought it was clean inside and a professional, relaxed environment. Some ppl were working on laptops, most others were dining, and chatter was all appropriate to-table level. The restrooms were very tidy and not too tiny. This is a nice, secluded place...pricey, but nice. Go, enjoy!!

The short rib hash and Challah French toast were superb. Both 10/10. The ambiance of the restaurants is also beautiful.

Located inside a cute hotel, it's a charming restaurant. Service was excellent but we all felt the food was average. I ordered the lamb meatballs appetizer and it came out room temperature / cold. For an entree I had the porcini risotto which was fine. Needed salt and pepper. All the cocktails were great. We definitely would come back to hang out at the bar and have drinks.

Chicken and waffle sandwich
Shani H.

Stopped here while visiting nyc. The decor is beautiful. They had no availability for tables but we snagged seats at the bar. We ordered from the brunch menu. I got the chicken and waffle sandwich. The flavor was good but the waffle was a bit too hard. The sandwich was huge so once I reheated it, the waffle softened up and was much more enjoyable. I'd definitely go back.

Cane here last year, for a special Gemini themed dinner for my birthday. When I walked, I noticed the sitting area, and the inside was very nice and cozy. There's a bar towards the back. The staff was great. Along with the Gemni dining theme, a fortune teller was included , and i had to indulge. The dining area is towards the back, and the chef did really well with the menu. Everything was tasty, and I enjoyed the moment as well as the event. All of the birthday guests were given a souvenir bag to take home with Gemini trinkets. I would def return.

Beautiful décor, outstanding service , and an atmosphere that immediately makes you feel welcome. Every member of the staff was super friendly and helpful. Special mention to Pablo, the rockstar bartender -- we asked him to create some tequila-based cocktails, and both were absolutely fantastic. Before or after dinner, you can enjoy live music in the hotel lobby, which adds such a charming touch to the evening. Combined with the amazing food, it truly makes for the perfect spot -- whether for a romantic dinner or an evening out with friends. The Crab & Corn Beignets were a creative, crave-worthy twist, the branzino was cooked to perfection (that sauce... wow), and the s'more dessert was a playful, elevated throwback to campfire nights. My wife couldn't stop raving about her dishes either. Bottom line: amazing food, killer cocktails, live music, and the kind of service that makes you smile all night. I'll be back -- and so should you.

Beautiful space. Dimly lit. Greeted by Sara who took care of our first round of drinks!! Thank you Sara. Came here for the astrological dinner for Aquarius. Being that my birthday was last week. What an amazing experience. They had our table set up so beautifully with little trinkets and small gifts that leaned towards the Aquarius. Amethyst stones. Nice scented perfumes. An Aquarius Book. Very nicely put together. The chef came out and explained his choices of dishes to us. Everything had its very own acquired taste to it. The drinks that we had to pay for were so good. I had the Society no.5 which was a bourbon cocktail. So good. Overall a great memorable experience! Had a lovely time here.

The oysters were incredibly fresh, clean, briny, and perfectly served. Another standout that I'll definitely be ordering again. Between the atmosphere, the consistency of the food (super yummy), and the thoughtful team, Conwell Hall is quickly becoming one of those places you keep coming back to.

They have sandwiches, pancakes, French toast, potatoes, bakery options, etc. it seems that they are more of a coffee shop, so there were plenty of coffee and tea options. The homefries were really good, just a little oily and not as crispy as I would've liked.

We tried the melon shaved ice $22 for the large which was a bit pricy but it was quite delicious. We were worried that the large might be too much for two people but honestly we were able to finish it without a problem. The melon pieces were sweet, the ice is milk based so it was creamy and flavorful on its own. We barely used the condensed milk that it came with (and we loved how they put it on the side for us instead). At the bottom of the shaved ice was cereal pieces and mochi which gave a nice different texture. We also tried their drinks specifically their blue lemonade and mango-ade which I thought was just ok. The highlight is definitely their shaved ice. Definitely go for the large as the small seemed much smaller and for double the price, you can get almost 2-3x more. Overall: it's a great place to grab a shaved ice and relax . The atmosphere is chill and you can stay without feeling rushed.

I loved seeing the plants along with hints of pink, orange, and yellow throughout the art and furniture. It's a gorgeous space. Service was good, nothing much to mention. For food, we ordered the royal chai, mango lassi, breakfast kathi-rito, and the condensed milk bun. The standouts were the royal chai and the breakfast kathi-rito. The royal chai was creamy, salty, perfect sweet, and silky. It had notes of cinnamon and saffron, paired with sea salt. I loved this drink. The breakfast kathi-rito was tasty. I loved the potatoes, cheese, egg, avocado, and whatever else was in it. The sauce on the side was delicious. Not exactly sure what it was but it was sweet with a kick. The mango lassi did not have enough mango flavor for me, I couldn't justify paying $10 for it. The condensed milk bun was good but it was similar to any other sweet bun in an asian bakery. I'd pass on both of these. Overall, I'd highly recommend checking out Fontainhas. It'd be a perfect spot to check out if you're in the area for the Brooklyn Flea, or just Dumbo.

This was on display and it was marked as vegan which made it sound very enticing. Unfortunately it was a miss for me. The icing was overly sugary which gave it an almost cloyingly sweet taste and a crisp top. The cake was dry and lacked a strong mango flavor. I would have liked it more if there was a different frosting that was creamier and less sweet and if there was a layer of jam in the middle to keep the cake moist. - mango smoothie (10/10): mango blended with coconut yogurt and vanilla pea protein. This was phenomenal and i am surprised it was not as popular as it should be considering it has protein and probiotics. The texture is thick and creamy, but the tartness from the mango and yogurt make it still feel light. WOULD I GO BACK? Yes! It is a nice hangout spot with a decent menu of drinks and food.
