On 8/11 had a taste for farm-to-table and wanted to try a restaurant I had not patronized. So,…read moredecided on Friend of a Farmer. The restaurant's host/hostess area is at the entrance when you walk in. Tiny yet non-problematic. Bar, indoor and outdoor seating are available. On this lovely sunny late afternoon I opted for outdoor seating. Outdoor sidewalk patio seating is much better than other restaurants. It is clear that a lot of thought was put into making this as comfortable as inside. I had a perfect view of staff outside making a few signature drinks. One was a tomato martini however I opted for a mocktail blueberry lavender drink which was scrumptious & refreshing. For dinner, the watermelon caprese and vegan pot pies were fresh, tasty and packed with flavor. I could eat this for days on end and not get bored! Can't wait to return. Maybe for breakfast the next time.

So this was a Friday night at the end of the summer. We had a rez but we walked in 20 min early and…read morewere seated right away. No idea if it's like this at other times. The space is cozy. Plush banquettes and small tables. The ambiance is countryfied and corn-fed. The menu is equally small. We started with the corn ribs, so called because it was a corn cob quartered and dredged with crema and cotija. It had a pleasant bite to it. The burger was small to the eye but thicker than anticipated. It came with cheese, bacon, arugula, and fries. To my surprise I ate all of it. My dining companion had the grain bowl and enjoyed it. We washed this down with a Talea IPA and a cider, can't recall the name. Service was top notch. We even had an amuse bouche, cornbread with apple chutney. I tipped appropriately.

Our server was super friendly and everyone working was very helpful. The staff had a good vibe. I like going to Friedman's because I have several gluten free friends and this restaurant really cares about that. It's generally a safe bet that your food and drinks will be good. They have quite a large variety on their menu, from breakfast to sandwiches to Asian fare. I didn't love my chicken sandwich but the spinach artichoke dip was amazing.

Place is small and pleasant, I've dined in maybe twice? (I usually get takeout.) Friendly staff. I've been coming here for years, and portions do seem smaller than they used to be. (Boo shrinkflation!) I love their poached chicken (I rarely get their fried chicken) and the side soup is a calming treat. (As a soup enthusiast, I approve.) Credit accepted. p.s. If you use TooGoodToGo and lucky enough to see Three Roosters there, pull the trigger! I know they used to be on there years ago, but unsure about now.

Another repeat takeout order from Three Roosters, this time for their poached chicken and grilled…read morechicken plates, both with ginger rice. Delicious and hits the spot when you're in the mood for SE Asian style chicken over rice. For both plates, the meat is cooked tenderly and the poached version $16.95 definitely needs the sauce to add flavor, and both sauces are still bomb, I would buy them to use as a marinade or dipping sauce if they bottled these. The roasted chicken $16.95 is good on its own but amazing with the sauce. Sour, savory, a tad spicy, it adds that next level punch. The side salad was fresh. If I had one comment it's been that been portion sizes seem to be a little smaller in my recent orders than a few years ago, maybe it just happens to be the orders I got though also maybe due to shrinkflation. They continue to be one of my go-to take out options in the area and I'll be back!

I went with one of the lunch-like deals from the menu that can be ordered anytime. Of course, I got the: 2pc Pan fried Chicken (absolutely delicious, crispy, flavorful, and juicy) Mac & cheese (mehhh.... it's all noodles and tons of cheese, nothing else. Took it home and remixed it) Cornbread (huge, cake-like and delicious) Half & Half (tastes like a mix, still sweet and tasty) Note: The limeade is very sweet kool-aid. My family enjoyed the string beans, and sweet potatoes in addition to their chicken. I was sad the collard greens and catfish were unavailable, we all wanted to try them out. I'd definitely come back for this chicken, the unavailable items and the shrimp.

Warm, cozy, and inviting, with a relaxed vibe that made it easy to settle in and linger over the meal. Appetizers We started with a cheese flatbread, boat-shaped and blistered at the edges, the interior molten and gooey with a bright basil leaf on top. Simple but done really well, crisp crust giving way to all that warm cheese. Mains The brunch dishes were the highlight. A sizzling skillet of eggs cooked over spiced sausage came out rich and savory, the yolks just set, perfect for scooping up with the basket of warm bread on the side. The tomato-based baked eggs were equally good, a deep, well-seasoned sauce with a little heat and fresh herbs on top. Comforting, generous, and full of flavor. Drinks The blackberry mocktail was a standout, refreshing and beautifully garnished with a cluster of fresh blackberries. Always great to see a thoughtful non-alcoholic option that feels like more than an afterthought. Service Attentive and warm throughout. The team kept everything moving smoothly without ever feeling rushed. Verdict Five stars. Delicious food, a cozy atmosphere, and a mocktail worth ordering on its own. A fantastic UWS brunch spot that I'd happily return to.

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. That drink was legit and had nice strength. The food was great too. My fish tacos were packed with fresh fish, the guacamole and salsa were chunky and full of flavor and hubs enjoyed his pastrami sandwich. I have no clue when we'll be back in Midtown, but one thing's for sure- we're sitting with Josiah again.

Both dishes were great and filling. The cauliflower had a lot of bold flavors! The onion ring on top of the Mac and cheese was a nice touch. I couldn't really taste the truffle but I would still order the dish again.
