Best Restaurants for People Watching in Midwood

We tried The Crosby Bar’s afternoon tea after years of going to The Plaza. The Crosby’s gluten free offerings were delicious and we preferred their GF scones. The Crosby was also a better value; the finger sandwiches were bigger and we had the option of asking for more at no extra charge. Truly excellent. We will be back.

Best of the best!! Everything was perfect for our family Christmas brunch. Just love this place, food, the staff, atmosphere, neighborhood….THE BEST! Thank you.

Fantastic experience! We arrived early and they were able to seat us. I ordered the meatloaf and my husband ordered the vegetarian stew. Both meals were delicious. Service was exceptional and very fast (thank you to our server Devon). I would def recommend and will return.

We went for brunch during the holidays. Service was perfect. Attentive and professional. The food and drinks were awesome. We had peach Bellini’s which were made with a real peach puree. Appetizers we had the Ricotta dip and Fried zucchini- so good especially the Ricotta with honey and crisps. Entrees were delicious and hot. We had affogato for dessert and espresso martinis- both perfect. Very memorable meal!

The food was excellent. Service was fine, pleasant, timely, unobtrusive. The single problem--and the only reason I'd think twice about going back--was the noise. Absolutely deafening--and not from loud music--the acoustics in the place, high ceiling, hard surfaces. We ate early--615 and by midmeal, we, the waiters, and everyone in the restaurant, were shouting to be heard (4 people).
