Editorial Review

Come early, leave poor. Veteran brunch spot pumps out fantastical concoctions to wow the out-of-towners. Dining room is a Jetsons' wet dream, could easily see Rosie skating between the ultra-modern crimson chairs and shiny metal tables. Beware the OJ hustle: waiters swoop in with pitchers of spendy "fresh-squeezed" and fill you up before you can say boo. Pancakes get clever, think lemon mousse or hot chestnut. Foie gras brioche French toast with mushrooms is as decadent as it gets. Oh no, wait, there's also the $100 lobster frittata with Sevruga caviar. Supersize it for just $1,000!
