    the best margarita ever? maybe
    Emina S.

    Stopped in for breakfast with my sister for the 1st time recently on a slow weekday. Ordered: * Cheddar Scramble (Scrambled Eggs, Long Island Home Fries, Multigrain Toast) w/ chicken sausage *Egg&Cheese Sandwich (Gochujang Aioli, Hash Brown, Cheddar, Sesame Potato Bun) *Patty Berg juice (grapefruit and hibiscus) Everything really good, especially the potatoes, but nothing stood out. I was a little disappointed that I tasted no gochujang in the aioli since that was the unique aspect of it. Each ingredient was perfectly crafted and assembled, though. Didn't expect my sandwich to be so large so I only finished half -- huge portion! I'll be back again for dinner because that's where they really shine

    Sunday Pancake
    Lenny L.

    Great place for breakfast or brunch even though it is a bit pricey. This is a spacious restaurant with two levels, there's a decent amount of space between tables that you don't have to worry about brushing up against a stranger. The decor gives off a homely, comforting vibe. Service wasn't anything special. Waitress was attentive and left a water pitcher on our table so she didn't have to worry about topping off our water glasses. Speaking of water glasses, those glasses were tiny. They seemed more like shot glasses if anything. Food was great; you definitely won't leave here hungry. I came with a friend and he ordered the biscuit and gravy, while I ordered the Shakshuka. We shared a single Sunday Pancake (I recommend you do the same as they're huge). The Shakshuka was very feeling to say the least. It's a very savory dish with a lot of umami flavor from the tomatoes and cheeses (Feta and Focaccia) used. The pancake was great though taste wise it tasted more like a muffin? Even my friend made the same comment. Not a bad thing of course, but it's certainly unique. Did like that it was not overly sweet with the syrup that was already poured on. Pricey breakfast and lunch, but at least you'll leave satisfied.

    I ordered the double Sunday pancakes and the steak and eggs and for my drink I ordered the S'mores latte. I would defy go back. Service was great and attentive. Nice ambiance inside. There is outdoor seating but you're on the sidewalk

    Breakfast Burrito and Sunday Pancake - Single

    Amazing first experience at this spot in BK. Went for brunch which is what it seems like they are known for. Bunch of good options! The vibe is chill and welcoming. Ordered the bfast burrito and pancake. Burrito was tasty with an even blend of fillings. Pancake is sodt with crispy edge. A bit too sweet for me but v good for the sweets lover. Staff was kind and worked efficiently.

    I will never get over this place. Staff is always friendly. I went to the dog park around the area so l needed something that was dog friendly and this place was. Aside from being dog friendly, the food is just top notch. Taking classic breakfast staples and add their own touch to it. I had a BLT sandwich that was just out of this world. Will recommend over and over again.

    WOW WOW WOW!!! I loved almost everything! My cosmo was on the tart side of flavor, but a bit of simple syrup helped balance that. As far as food, NOTHING disappointed. The Confit mushroom toast was delicious. Salty, but flavorful. I didn't like poached eggs until I had this starter, because they did it right. The Sunday Pancakes were beautiful! A bit crispy but almost sponge/fluffy soft inside. The hazelnut maple praline was not too sweet. I'd recommend eating it as soon as it arrives at the table. The Sunday burger was great as well. We added avocado & chose sausage. I'm not a sausage gal, but I actually liked this sausage very much. My friend order a bloody, & there has not been a restaurant that I've ever said they make good bloodies, but this bloody was IT! I was impressed! Loved it. Service was great. Our server cared about me liking my drink, and was very kind and attentive. Understandably so a Michelin restaurant for one of the best places for brunch! I without a doubt plan on coming here again!

    It's been awhile since I've been to Sunday in Brooklyn, but the craving for their pancakes suddenly struck, and thus we braved the wait on a Saturday. Despite the estimate being 1.5 hours, we only waited 45 min at a nearby coffee shop and then were able to be seated. I had forgotten how large the pancakes are, and so when the triple stack arrived, we all gasped. But it was the right amount for our party of 4, when added to the mushroom confit toast (amazing), cheddar scramble, shakshuka, and egg & cheese sandwich. My favorites were definitely the pancakes (a bit corn-bread like, with hazelnut maple praline) and the mushroom confit toast (so mushroomy, the shiitake really shines here!). Worth the wait? Definitely, since you're not just standing in line, and can go to the riverfront while you wait or stroll around grand street and pop into all the boutiques!

    Chicken Pot Pie
    Parker G.

    What a great spot!! We came here for a lovely dinner that most certainly did NOT disappoint! Sunday in Brooklyn is a delightful little corner spot that seems small initially, but actually has plenty of seating throughout - including in an upstairs space. Regardless, we were promptly seated (without a reservation) in a table downstairs, and had very friendly, hospitable service throughout our visit. While dining, we ordered a few of the cocktails, and I found each one I tried to be a good amount of strength while also creative in the flavors and heat. My personal favorite was the Ski Lift, which is a hot cocktail with bourbon, coffee, and other ingredients - soooo soothing, STRONG, and flavorful! Now on to main event - the food! My wood-fired lasagna was INCREDIBLE - so much flavor, texture, and uniqueness to each bite. My partner's chicken pot pie was similarly unique and yet familiar in its excellent textures and taste! Sunday in Brooklyn had a wonderful ambiance, lovely food, and great service - I highly recommend!

    Man o man, where do I begin?! The place is very warm and rustic that got crowded real quick. I went with a friend because I was dying to try their pancakes and it did not disappoint. We shared the meal and I'm glad I did. The pancakes were soft, drenched with brown sugar syrup and whew, I rubbed my chest. So recommended!!

    Returned about five months later for a winter visit on MLK Day to celebrate my brother's birthday, and this spot still holds up as a strong brunch destination. We came as a group of six and were seated within 5-10 minutes, which was impressive given the holiday. They have three floors and were able to accommodate us comfortably on the third floor, noticing that it was smaller and more quiet than the other two floors. Food highlights: * Triple Stack Pancake with Hazelnut Praline Maple ($26): Rich, gooey, and indulgent. Some at the table weren't expecting the sweet-savory profile, and while the topping didn't fully soak into the center of the pancake, I actually appreciated that. It allowed parts of the cornbread-like pancake to shine through without becoming soggy or overly sweet. Decadent but balanced. 7.2/10 * Biscuits and Gravy ($21): A pleasant surprise. Where some dishes leaned heavy, this one struck the right balance comforting, flavorful, and not overpowering. 8.3/10 * Confit Mushroom Toast ($19): Unfortunately too salty and intense, which made it hard to finish. 4.8/10 * Shakshuka: Still solid, with a noticeable kick of spice this time. 7.5/10 Overall, the branding remains on point. cute, cohesive, and very Williamsburg. service was efficient and friendly again. Prices are undeniably high, but the experience, atmosphere, and standout dishes help justify it.

    Food and service was great, so glad I was able to to try out this place. The drinks were on point along with the beer selection. The BLT was one of the best I've ever had, they used Focaccia bread. Can't wait to go back to Williamsburg to try more of the menu!

    Sunday Pancake - Single

    Cozy little spot with 2 floors, we were seated on the 2nd. Prices are reasonable and service is fast. We got 1 pancake, home fries, and the croque madame flatbread thing. Home fries were killer, well seasoned and cooked to perfection. Pancake is good, but heavy with a sweet caramel hazelnut sauce on it (we couldn't finish it). It's more a massive piece of skillet cornbread than a pancake. The croque madame comes like a pizza and tbh it was just OK. Quality of ingredients are high and the bread is delicious but it lacked flavor and didn't have a bechamel sauce?? Whole reason to order is for that heaven sent cream sauce. I wanna come back and try rest of menu cause really good experience except the croque madame.

    Partridge in a pear tree
    Jen S.

    I didn't come on a Sunday but visited on a Tuesday night to try some of their holiday drinks. We were a party of three but bc our third person hadn't arrived yet, we were asked to sit at the bar until the full party was present to secure a table based on policy. The bar itself wasn't the most comfortable option especially when you're coming straight from work in the winter with a bag and a long jacket. There are some hooks under the table but longer coats end up dragging on the floor so you will have to hold your jacket. I wouldn't recommend sitting at the bar unless you're traveling light without much to carry or if you're waiting for your full party to arrive. We chose this place specifically because of their Snow Day cocktail list that sounded really fun. I ordered the Polar Bear Club drink. It's basically a frozen pina colada mixed with cold brew. It looked very cute but the taste didn't quite do it for me. My friend ordered the Partridge on a Pear drink which came in an adorable bird shaped cup. Unfortunately, for me, it was a bit underwhelming in both taste and temp. This drink didn't come with ice most likely due to the cup design. Unless it is meant to be hot, I feel like drinks taste better with ice and not room temp. Another friend got the Grinch Don't Kill My Vibe drink and loved it. It's sweet and if you enjoy creme de menthe, this is defs a must try. For food, we ordered the pastrami and potato croquettes which tasted very similar to falafel. I actually enjoyed them even though it didn't feel like a typical croquette. Two of us also shared a hot chicken burger with fries. The server was kind enough to separate the spicy seasoning and sauce for me. I really appreciate it!!! The burger itself was solid. The fries were okay, though the smaller pieces felt a bit oily, almost like they had been fried more than once. It was a fun experience thanks to the festive Christmas decor/lights and the creative cocktail concepts. The service was great! However, the seating policy can be a bit inconvenient. I would recommend arriving only when your full party is present to avoid having to sit at the bar. Would recommend getting the croquette!

    Ask the Community - Sunday In Brooklyn

    Do they have high chairs?

    Very limited.

    Is the Brooklyn location open?

    Yes!

    Can there be a vegan brunch option that consists of something more than a salad?

    Carlynn, as I can remember and looking over their menu, I don't see anything other than salads especially if you don't do dairy. You could probably ask them in advance of going to accommodate you. You never know.

    Would I be able to bring a stroller here?

    Indoor may be a little tight but they have many outdoor seatings which you'll be able to.

    Do they serve the pancakes during dinner service? Please help :)?

    No :(

    Is it ok to bring a dog for outdoor heated space?

    I'm not sure but I don't think they would have an issue call 1st to double check.

    Is there bottomless brunch options?

    I didn't see that as an option 😿😿

    Do they take reservations?

    Yes they do. If you DL the resy app you can do a reservation. I did that 2 months ago when I came here for the 1st time.

    What vegan options?

    Not many vegan options, but I'd recommend the avocado toast with a side salad.

    What is the noise level? Thanks

    The noise level is average but the wait times on Sunday for brunch are insane and not worth it. They need to come up with a better system.

    Do they have pancakes all day?

    No, just during breakfast and brunch hours. Their pancakes are AMAZING by the way.

    Can you just sit at the bar for drinks? or must you sit at a table to eat &drink?

    Of course!

    Is this place really dog friendly?

    We have sidewalk seating that the health department allows dogs!

    How long is the average wait time on the weekends?

    Our waits range quite a bit but generally for parties of 2-4 you can expect a 45-1.5 hour wait.

    Do they offer vegan options?

    Yes, they modified sides and apps when I went there. Waiter was very knowledgeable and knew what was needed to veganize select items. I went for dinner, but last time I looked it seemed brunch would have more opportunity for veganized entrees.

    Is this place toddler-friendly? Do they have high chairs?

    Absolutely!

    Do they offer bottomless brunch?

    Hahaha. If they did, it would cost an arm and a leg!

    Is this place closed? I tried calling but seems the phone is disconnected or not working.

    They never answer the phone. The place is open. You just have to go there.

    What time do they stop serving brunch?

    Brunch is everyday from 10:00 AM - 3:30 PM.

Our friends raved about this place and we of course were excited (and a bit skeptical at first) to try it. The concept: no menu + no lights + a few questions = the ultimate cocktail experience. The speakeasy vibe and the dark ambiance really makes this place feel even more exclusive. With just a few tables and the bar setting, you're in for an experience you won't forget (unless you answer the wrong questions and really end up with a drink you don't like HA). This wasn't my case. Of course I described my two favorite things: Negroni + mezcal. The obvious answer would be a mezcal Negroni, but that's not why one comes to a place like Attaboy. Our amazing curator came by to ask us all a few questions, write down a few words in the napkins, and mix up the perfect drink that our master bartender crafts, curates and creates. My drink came as I couldn't possibly imagine. It looked like a Negroni smelled like Oaxaca, with all the smoke simmering up and preparing my sensory experience, leading to the best first sip. Ladies and gentleman, I introduce you to The Devil's Backbone. A perfectly balanced drink I'll never forget, one that is sipped slowly and enjoyed thoroughly. It's sexy, it's smoky it's sipped. Attaboy gave the best mixology experience and we can't wait to be back. Pro tip: be sure to be as vocal as possible, even with ice, so you don't end up with a tiki drink if that's not your vibe.

He even chatted with us for a bit after to tell us more about attaboy. I'm rounding up to 5 stars but I will say our experience with the "bouncer" was a bit unpleasant. He called us to let us know our table was ready but we missed the call (our fault). We returned the call immediately and got there within a couple minutes anyway. We were ready to patiently wait for the next availability but were met with some attitude and unnecessary comments from him during the waiting experience. Regardless, we had a great time inside to make up for this. Highly recommend, but just be sure to make a reservation or be on alert and on time when getting off the waitlist.

The food (dingle pie and spice bag chips) were also really good. The spice bag chips seasoning was really good. We walked in Wednesday 8:30 PM and they had a couple of high chair seats at a side bar in the parlor room available. Really fun decorations and ambiance.

    If you're looking for one of the best Irish pubs in Lower Manhattan, The Dead Rabbit absolutely…read morelives up to the hype. Tucked into the Financial District, this spot blends old New York history with some of the best cocktails in the city--and it's easy to see why it's been named "World's Best Bar" more than once. The name itself has a wild backstory, inspired by a notorious 19th-century Irish-American gang from Five Points. It adds a layer of character to the place, but what really keeps people coming back is the atmosphere and the drinks. The space is split into two levels: a two lively, sawdust-floored Taprooms downstairs and a more refined Parlor upstairs if you're in the mood for a quieter, cocktail-focused experience. Drinks are the real highlight here. The Irish Coffee is widely considered one of the best in the world--rich, smooth, and perfectly balanced with whiskey, coffee, and fresh cream. They also get creative with variations like a frozen version and even an Irish Coffee martini. If you want something different, the "Act Naturally" is a standout, mixing Irish whiskey with Guinness and fig in a way that works. Food is just as impressive for a bar. The lobster deviled eggs (topped with caviar) are a must-try, and the menu leans into elevated comfort food. Overall, The Dead Rabbit nails the balance between historic charm and modern cocktail excellence. The D.R. is one of those places that is never boring and consistently delivers.

    Apotheke was one of my first experiences with a hidden speakeasy a number of years ago, and it…read morestill remains the OG in my vast encyclopedia of experiences. :) Strolling down Chinatown's busy and gritty Doyers Street, looking for any sign of Apotheke is a fond memory, then finally figuring out where it was, and entering through the mysterious and otherworldly threshold resulted a transformative experience that made me feel like I time traveled. Mood lighting, comfortable seating, great drinks in a cozy and Victorian-inspired space are the perfect blend of unique and. I always felt like I was part of something special the few times enjoyed creative, delicious, and strong libations from the pros at the bar. While it has always been pricey, I do feel like the excellent service ambiance, and drink quality warrant this, but may prevent more folks from becoming regulars so to speak. I love the clever and compact bathroom design, too. IYKYK Long live Apotheke!

    Fifteen years later and Apotheke is still one of my favorites!…read more You will walk past this hidden speakeasy several times before finding it. I could tell you to look for the blue beaker sign that says "Chemist" but the better tell is the random guy sitting on a stool outside. He'll be the only person on the street, so no worries about missing him! The menu has changed over the years, but the quality has not. The bartenders are social and personable. And the prices are in line for the area. My bestie and I loved the vibe. One of the best speakeasies she's had the pleasure of experiencing. Don't miss out on this place!

    Serious attitude here. The cocktails were very tasty but the service and vibe were so off-putting,…read moreI will never go back. I made a reservation in person more than 24 hours in advance. I wanted to treat an old friend to a quick birthday toast before a show she was attending nearby. Later that night, another friend became available to join but, because they do not actually have a phone that takes calls (only offers an announcement to go to Resy or email) adding another person was not at all easy. I would have had to cancel and rebook and wasn't sure I'd be able to (reservation was for a Saturday night) In most places, a table for 3 easily accommodates 4. But not here. When two of us arrived, they made it clear this was a big problem. I would have walked out right then but I would have been charged $90! We decided to stay and make the best of it, which was a challenge. For a speakeasy, the vibe was aggressive, not relaxing. Very loud music and not great acoustics.) Too cramped to be comfortable, proving that small does not necessarily mean cozy! We asked if we could take a chair from the table next to us, which was empty (it was only 6 pm; I told our server we'd be gone by 7 because my friend, the birthday girl, had to catch a show.) We were told No! To say the waiter was cold, unfriendly, and indifferent is generous. He was totally rude. He literally told my friend she couldn't sit in a chair that was otherwise empty, knowing we'd be leaving momentarily. Then he had the gail to hand me the bill with a 22% tip pre-selected...and watched over me while I signed it! Definitely the least satisfying $100 I have ever spent. Disappointing. It was good to see my friends, but I so wish I hadn't picked this place. Never again.
