Thought this spot was cute and pleasant. Visited randomly as we had been planning on eating somewhere else and someone suggested this instead. I did want more small options for a light breakfast. I had the yogurt, which was delicious, but that was really the only lighter option. I could have gone for a pastry or something also. However, the combo of grapefruit and yogurt was oddly delicious. Tart and sweet at the same time and the granola was crunchy but not overly so with a hint of honey. Good stuff. Coffee was good (and gave me a cup to go). Service was quick and efficient but didn't rush us. A bit pricy but that's NY for you. High quality food and a really fun atmosphere. I'd come back.

Service was phenomenal, cocktails too! We had apps and they were great as well. Very spacious, outdoor dining a possibility.

Enjoyed a very lovely brunch at JWF it was my first time dining at this restaurant. Warmly greeted upon arrival and immediately seated outside on the patio. The view was blocked by numerous cars parked on the side of the road. People watching is always engaging with the bustling streets of NYC! The server was very attentive and patient with my order which was a la carte and I created my own menu of scrambled egg whites, side of arugula, avocados, and feta cheese. My dish was simple delicious and I appreciate the chef jazzing up my feta cheese! I would recommend the restaurant consider adding spinach to the menu and replace the mashed potatoes with hash browns or tots as an alternative.

From all the various fun cities I've visited in the US, this is probably the closest to a French patio dining vibe! The food was a combination of Mediterranean/Middle Eastern cuisine! We were fortunate as the weather was very mild in June, which made for very pleasant outdoor dining! They have other locations of this chain, but we simply walked by the other spot and went back to this spot multiple times! The service was very friendly and prompt, and each dish tasted fresh and delicious! I would highly recommend this spot for a drink, meal, or just a nice glass of wine to relax and enjoy NY!

Super easy to make day of reservations if you want to dine inside. Outdoor dining is first come first serve. To get out of the sweltering NYC heat, we opted for inside although there were plenty of outward facing tables around 6pm on a Thursday night. Vegetable Curry Bowl - Amazing! Definitely mix in the curry with the couscous. It's a little too sweet if you don't. Had an amazing kick to it that wasn't too overwhelming. The curry had a good variety of vegetables and the portion of the dish itself was sizable! Bianca - Raspberry, lime, and mint - count me in! Had a well balanced taste with such a cute presentation. The pink color was vibrant and tasted just as delicious as it looked! The restaurant was clean with lots of sunlight streaming in through the windows. They even set out little candles to change the vibe from day to night. A great place to pop in for drinks or dinner. Service was quick and the staff checked on us numerous times! Loved my experience here!

Very lively, cheery, and busy environment with music loud enough without being overwhelming. I sat inside but next/in front of the open windows on a sunny pleasant afternoon. Of course there is a pretty large outside seating area that people love. The menu offers a great selection and plenty of options for everyone. I had Maya's Breakfast bowl and it was a great portion size and very good. I also had a piece of grilled Haloumi that was delicious. Easy to see why this place is a favorite of many.
