Best Brunch Restaurants in The Gramercy

I enjoyed the ambiance and the food was delicious, although I don’t recommend this place if you are looking to have a full meal. This is more of a lounge than a restaurant with small food portions on the pricier side. The band was amazing. Overall my husband and I had a nice time but in the future we will go out to dinner first before heading to the Rouge Room for drinks and live music.

This restaurant has been around for a while and it’s a good one that’s why it sticks around. Everything was good about the restaurant, including the old-fashioned love the ambience noise levels perfect and everybody is super attentive. The food was good - it was a very nice time.

This place never disappoints. It has all the vibes and deliciousness desired. Forever a return customer for business and pleasure.

Our second brunch at Summer House and we’re officially hooked. Staff was having fun with a pajama brunch theme—New Year’s Day and it was fun to see. The room is really comfortable and nicely done. Our entrees were incredibly good—huevos rancheros done in a way we’d never seen before and delicious. Mexican hash browns, an inventive stack of hash browns, cheese, tortilla chips, avocado, salsa and egg, really good. And a basic eggs and bacon breakfast with very fluffy scrambled eggs. Honestly, brunch couldn’t have been better. Our server, Jose E, was amazing. Friendly, warm, always smiling, knew what he was talking about and never missed a beat. A really good guy, a star. Start to finish, a great brunch at Summer House.

Had an outstanding brunch on New Year's Day. Service and food were excellent except they could leave the fried leeks garnish off the chicken & waffles. They are too chewy and don't compliment the dish. Highly recommend this place with one exception. I am making this public in an attempt to get the Management to get rid of the punishment seating in the back of the restaurant. When we arrived there were plenty of seats in the front of the restaurant that had comfortable chairs. Yet, they attempted to seat us in a chair that is not even suitable for a prison. They are metal, cold, extremely uncomfortable and need to go. They were very accommodating when we requested to move, but why they would risk a bad review when they was no need to put anyone there other than to fill someone's station. Whoever made that purchase should have to sit in those chairs for an hour a day until they realize how much being uncomfortable takes away from the dining experience.
