Stuffed French Toast was amazing. Very sweet- really doesn't need syrup . Bottomless mimosas x 2hrs. Old, speak easy ambiance (lots of wood) juxtaposed with hip hop music - cant go wrong. a must go!

The Corcoran Group

Great place to come with a big group for a birthday - they do an awesome job catering to large parties. Get the truffle pizza , truffle mac and cheese , scallops , or the melt-in-your mouth short ribs .

Sigalle Barness

Happy hour gifts $5 beers , and $1 oysters within a venue that seemingly culminates into an early 1900s' motif while embodying the various populations of the LES over the last 150 years.

Ira B

This is an awesome spot to post up. Come have some drinks and enjoy the Dj as well . Went on a Friday night fairly early and the crowd wasn't too packed. They were still seating at tables. Awesome.

Caitlin Williams

OMG the pork belly sliders are to DIE for. Grab them, the truffle pizza and the kale Caesar (you need some green to balance it out) and wash it all down with the grapefruit basil martini . Delish!

Sam Brown

Like your cocktails sweet? The Blackberry Julep is for you! Templeton Rye , blackberries and mint . Dunk the blackberries on arrival for a post cocktail alcoholic sour fruit explosion.

Colleen Shea

Easy to get a reservation on a weekend, food is good but it's all about the dark ambience and loud music ! DJ starts at 10 and is AMAZING! such a fun night

Tony Xerri

The Lump Crab Melts were insane. Tons of crab . The Wild Pacific Salmon followed up with an herb salad and was equally delicious. Ended meal with churros . Sons of Liberty cocktail is the way to go!

Victoria Natenzon

Truffle mac & cheese . Had my birthday dinner here with 5 friends and it was perfect. Loved the atmosphere, the food and the drinks. Also good to go and just hang out at the bar .

DoubleDeuce

It bothers me when a place has a special at the bar and not if you sit and dine. That said, the food here is tremendous. I loved the cornbread the most but it was all full of great flavors.

Mary Elise Chavez

Get ready for forget-me-not indulgences. Many types of Mac n' Cheese (& Grilled Cheese ), but the best are French Onion and the Latin one. TV Dinner is throwback win, fried chicken slides off the bone.

Meghan Kathleen

The Carne Asada has the most delicious blend of spices you'll put in your mouth, the pork chop with apples and gram crackers is amazing too. Wash either down with a custom cocktail or a sixpoint.

Donna Yee

All truffle items are amazing the truffle grilled cheese is the best when it's dreary out. Truffle tots in a close second.

Jessica A

I always have a great time here. Impressed with their brunch food . Music is always up beat, tends to have a lot of hip hop . Go with a group and enjoy.

Sam Brown

Roll on in for Brunch and get the Steak & Huevos , spiced skirt steak with sunny-side up eggs on a cast-iron heated plate. Careful: HOT!

Declan Brennan

Don't ask for an Irish baby Guinness because if you ask it for it full Harry potter will throw his broom across the bar and spill everything like a 5 year old without his toys !

Josephine Son

Love love love this place! Food is always great and staff so nice, my favs are truffle mac n cheese & burger . Tried brunch recently, breakfast pizza & truffle tater tots , whoa!

Lauren Mac

Fun bar/restaurant with happy hour deals on tasty cocktails like the "Pimm's chalice" or the "Bomb Fizzle" or the "Snoop Dogg." Solid truffle fries and a juicy burger too.

Jessica Jimenez

Such a good time! The drink and food options are so good. Love the fact that they have a live DJ during weekends playing the latest turn up tunes .

Paras Shah

I really like this place so far. Great staff . Great hip hop & r&b. Now I just need to try the food. It could be the LES window to my soul.

y content

lowkey, the best turn up spot. good people, good music , good drinks. so don't start coming here in droves & turn it into Hair of the Dog. #neverthat

Jen Rios

I have one question...why can't I order a cocktail off the cocktail menu at the bar on a Saturday night out for my friends BDAY celebration but our table can order them from a cocktail server?

Devin A. Brown

I usually poo-poo truffle mac-n-cheese, but this was a perfect blend of pasta , cheese and truffle goodness. Of course there's no pict -- ate it already!

Nadine Moubayed

Amazing... The Bloody Mary to die for and the food was tasty.. Had the Irish Benedict was delicious

Joanna Lin

Get the Grand Sachem . Chug it down, wipe your mouth, then order another. This is one seriously addictive pear cocktail ;X

Sam Pezzullo

This place is really cool. Excellent food; try the fried pickles , truffle mac & cheese , short ribs , and the lobster pot pie .

Christina Chin

Truffle mac n cheese . Got chicken sammie, was good but bun kinda dry. Fries also nice and crispy

Cyndi Berzow

Obsessed with the dj , the dance floor and the crowd. This place is a full party when you wanna dance like you did in college. Which I do. Every day.

Amy Wang

Food is really good and somehow not expensive at all? Try the mexican Brussels sprout and mushroom truffle pizza

Sabrina Nelson

Great pit in back to sit and have space to chat and drink #sonsofessex

Jeffrey Lai

Happy Hour : 5-7PM Cocktails are $5 during happy hour (compared to the usual $13). The two most popular are the Delancey Farm and the Moscow Five Points

Thrillist

Drink the green tea & vodka "Teddy Roosevelt " and nosh on the maple-glazed hen & Belgian waffles . They've also got a full-functioning deli stocked by local vendors . Read more

Elyse Estrada

The Bowery Mission Makers based cocktail is real good but goes down fast. Grilled mac & cheese sandwich w/tomato soup for dipping ? Why has that not been done before? Don't come here on a diet.

Room 77

Benedicto-what? Benedictowitz! Treat yourself for brunch . You're long overdue. Poached eggs on a potato pancake with smoked salmon and hollandaise sounds like the perfect solution.

Bollare

Latest of-the-moment lounge to swing through for afterhours. Great 90’s throw back music to get you moving, and always a celeb sighting or two! —Tera L.

Berk Kapicioglu

You feel like you entered some alternate dimension. One of the best bars in lower east side.

Alicia Aswat

Great brunch spot - great food and $20 unlimited mimosas . Sundays check out DJ K Styles (hot DJ spinning the hottest music )

Suresh

Goat cheese , arugula & truffle oil pizza (amazing) + truffle fries + grilled cheese+ truffle mac & cheese + great service = happy night.

James B

Great new spot. Been here for bday dinners or events . Both scenarios the food blew me away and they know how to make a great drink.

Bon

Brunch pizza . Do it and share. Soft scrambled eggs w/ bacon on flatbread . Weekender perf. Waffle up too.

Devin Parker

Lobster rolls for appetizer and the hanger steak is good.

Jenni

Brunch pizza was awesome, and I normally don't care much about service, but service here was beyond excellent

Henry Danner

Dope ass brunch selection . Shrimp & Grits was A1 and so was the Crunchberry French Toast

Taj Rani

Great for day parties and great food, BUT if it's busy the order may take a while to come out.

Kavita Baba

Tasty box fizzles, great ambience and incredibly danceable music in a chill setting

Fadia Kader

The oysters were tasty and Lobster Benedict was the way to go at Brunch ! Walked right in - no reservation ! Enjoy

Bollare

Latest of-the-moment lounge to swing through for afterhours. Great 90’s throw back music to get you moving, and always a celeb sighting or two! —Tera

Dale Walter

SoE is apparently now more interested maintaining a 'ratio' at night than selling delicious food and drinks. Sad to see it on the decline like this.

David Pimentel

They're cool with you dancing on the couches near the dance floor so definitely take advantage of that
