    My favorite brunch spot for many reasons! First - they take OpenTable reservations. And the space is huge, with multiple seating areas. The less you wait, the faster you order. Wise words from Kimmy ;) Second - the food is consistent. I tend to get the Coconut Waffle or Almond French Toast. Better here than at other Sarabeths around the city. Third - it's a pretty laid back vibe. A lot less stuffy than the other Sarabeth locations. A lot of families with strollers for the early weekend breakfast rush, then the crowd gets more mixed towards brunch. I like that it isn't a 100% hangover-nursing crowd. It's a little pricey but I love it because the food's good and it's easy. Service is pretty good. If you're driving, street parking is better on Sunday than on Saturday.

    Great spot for brunch... The server was super friendly and helpful... And the food was really good... Especially the almond french toast which I recommend... It was busy but we walked in and found a table outside which made this brunch perfect..!

    Sarabeth....HOW you doin'? ;) What stood out to me about this place is that the omelets are fluffy. Yes you heard me right....not the pancakes but the omelets are fluffy and I really like that. And I really liked their whipped butter. It was so TASTY! Service was good and they took care of us. Sarabeth is a good breakfast place. Now if they could be transcribe that into a NY female.......

    Neighborhood favorite of ours! They're of course well known for their fantastic brunch (I never go without getting the pastry basket), but their happy hour is highly underrated. You can get some great appetizers and cocktails for fairly cheap.

    This Sarabeth's is absolutely adorable. I came here for a post city hall wedding lunch get-together type thing. They have a private dining area which can probably fit a nice size party of up to forty people with plenty of room to spare. This room has two private restrooms as well which is always a plus. The velvety cream of tomato soup is phenomenal. I've never really cared for tomato soup, but this is not your typical tomato soup. It is very rich, hearty, smooth yet with bits of chunky goodness, just downright delicious. It really is a meal in itself and is quite filling. I ordered the hanger steak frites for my entree and it is pretty darn disappointing. First off, this is the only time I've ever ordered a steak and a waiter does not ask me how I like it done. It was kind of bizarre but I thought perhaps they preferred to serve it a certain way? Anyway, when I received the steak it was rare. Almost everyone in my party who ordered the steak had to send it back. I asked to make mine medium at that point. Funny thing is that when I got it back, I was perplexed if anything was even done. It looked the exact same to me, but when I touched it I suppose it was a tad warmer in temperature so something must've been done right? I kept it since I would've felt so awful to send it back again and cause a scene (plus I didn't want spit in my food). Nonetheless I have to say the waiters appeared to be very apologetic. The steak was bland and oh my goodness the greens were so gross! The fries were blah, I didn't even want to eat it - and I usually love fries! I don't know what béarnaise sauce is or what it is supposed to taste like but it tasted like 100% mustard. No thank you. I didn't know if the sauce was supposed to go with my steak or my fries - either way, I wasn't a fan and did not touch it after the initial tasting of it. The cookies here are not that good either, I didn't know that can be messed up but I guess it can be. Overall, the food here is not great except for the tomato soup which is an absolute must order! The service is very friendly and attentive (minus that only one person out of like seven were asked how we wanted our steak cooked but that's besides the fact). The atmosphere of the restaurant is very cute, trendy, and NYC-esque. Lots of sun and very bright on a sunny day.

    Apparently Taylor swift dines here according to Trending NY. But it was fun. Service was slow, but a lovely place. I had the lemon ricotta pancakes, overpriced, but I still enjoyed it

    Went to Sarabeth's and had a lovely meal with my friends. We got a lovely corner booth. The waitress was very nice and friendly. I had the "garden omelette," which had mushrooms, green peas, zucchini, and white cheddar. It was $15. I really shouldn't have eaten the whole thing because it was a ridiculous portion but I did anyway. I'd suggest sharing it with two people unless you are feeling piggish like me. It came with a croissant but I was too full to eat it. My boyfriend said it was good. The restaurant was very nice and clean, had great service and wasn't too busy on the weekday. Really worth stopping in for breakfast or brunch. Their fresh squeezed orange juice was great and their coffee was decent. The next time I am in NYC, I want to come back for their chicken pot pie ($19). I hear it is really good.

    Any resemblance to Sarabeth's above Midtown are purely coincidental. What is up here?! I took my parents here while they were in town, hyping them up for great brunch, delicious baked goods, and fantastic preserves, after several good experiences on Central Park South and the Upper West Side. Baked goods aside, disappointment abounds! Poorly cooked eggs that made my girlfriend sick, bland eggs that made my heart sink, and popovers that underwhelmed. The muffin basket was good, and had pumpkin, scone, berry corn muffin, etc. We had a few dishes between the four of us, including the egg and steak hash (so good in the UWS), the popover eggs (a bit plain/bland), and a few others which were forgettable. The worst part of it all was my dad claiming he loved it. We new the truth, and such obvious disappointment of a chain we have otherwise loved was a huge let down. Shame on you, Sarabeth's South! Change the name of this location, because the quality is lacking. :(

    Pretty good place for brunch, food is delicious and is both kids and groups friendly. Food: I had the spinach and goat cheese omelette and was quite tasty. We shared the lemon ricotta pancake and I ended up liking it even more. If I had to choose, I'd go with the pancakes. The rest: fast service, great atmosphere. This location is considerably bigger than the one near Central Park, however, I probably wouldn't dare to go without a reservation.

  • Alexandra L.

    The Quick: A classic Manhattan brunch spot with very good food, but overpriced for the name. Solid 3.5 stars. The Details: Sarabeth's is a quintessential brunch spot that any 'lady who brunches' must try at least twice. You walk in and you feel like a true New Yorker. The food is very good- everyone loves the tomato soup (a classic), the omelets, and of course those delicious little muffins that come with your entree. They have delicious jams that they also sell. Sarabeth's is not the most fantastic brunch place, but it is very charming.. you should try it. The Damage: The drinks are outrageously expensive for brunch ~$12/mimosa and the entrees are a little pricey as well.

    Ohhhhhhhhh Dear Sarabeth's your food was so good I was hit with the itis (google it) ha! I've enjoyed the brunch now dinner is on my list. Oh I found out that your happy hour and live jazz is also great. So I guess you'll see me again soon. Let's talk food: $38 pre-fixed menu for restaurant week Drinks: I went with sweet prosperity- stoli vodka, st. Germaine, pomegranate, lime. You MUST get the bread while waiting for your meal. You'll thank me later. Appetizer: yummmyyyy I had the roasted carrot and goat cheese-baby turnips, mizuna, toast almonds. My friend hand the seared sea scallop. Dinner: this is when the itis hit! We both had the smoke roasted chicken-cornbread dumplings, hearty greens and giblet gravy. Dessert: Ohhhhh we had to make room for dessert. We both had the chocolate truffle cake. Only one word can describe this DELICIOUS. ---- I love you my dear Sarabeth's and I can wait to visit again whether it's brunch..dinner or happy hour.

    My family and I have been coming to Sarabeth's for brunch the morning after NYE for as long as I can remember. We just love our traditions. Next year, however, might be the first year that we break that tradition. While the food is still good, there are just too many other brunch places where the food is amazing. Hate to say it, but this was probably my last brunch here. We all started with the Four Flowers Juice, which may be the only thing that'll bring me back to Sarabeth's. That combination of fruits and juices is just perfection. We ordered the Guacamole + Chips to start and I also ordered a bowl of the Velvety Cream of Tomato Soup. Okay, I lied. That soup could definitely bring me back too. Rich and creamy and chock full of tomatoes, it is by far my favorite dish on the menu. I think the entrees at Sarabeth's could be better. I ordered the Maine Lobster Roll and the rest of my family ordered their traditional Salmon Eggs Benedict. While not horrible, nothing to write home about either. While the food was only mediocre at best, we still managed to have a great post-NYE meal.

    I really like this place! My friends live near here and mentioned that this place is popular for brunch so we decided to give it a go on a Saturday around noon. I was actually pretty surprised that we didn't need to wait--must have gotten really lucky because the place was packed. Anyways this place really is super gorgeous. Service is spot on and the food is great as well. I went traditional and just got the eggs benedict. Despite the place being so chaotic I was surprised at how quickly the food came out and how well we were handled as guests. The waiters were always really accessible and really attentive to any of our needs. It was really well done actually which I know can be difficult when it's really busy and popping. The eggs benedict were awesome. Egg was perfect, the English muffin was super soft and yummy as well! It came with a side salad--would have liked to select options for a side given how expensive the dish was, but not a big deal. I thought it was really delicious. Despite how expensive it was, would definitely come back since it's a good vibe. tldr; yummy classic brunch. great atmosphere great food. would prob frequent as an easy, solid brunch place

    I went to Sarabeth's for Brunch on Labor Day, and had the Farmer's Omelet, I would have given this review a 5 star, but the service was slow. We were seated right away, which is a plus for NYC. The food was delicious, the restaurant is also family friendly.

    I stopped into Sarabeth's on my last day in NY while on a business trip. It was around 8am on a Saturday morning and the restaurant was a short walk from my hotel. I tried the lemon ricotta pancakes with a side of bacon and a latte. I enjoyed everything during my visit from the service to the ambiance to the food. I am glad I relied on my fellow Yelpers for this great find.

    Review by a Tribeca parent: When my kids are rambunctious, I am glad there is a playground nearby called Sarabeth's. My kids are free to run around, scream and play there. Unfortunately, the place also happens to serve food, and it is really too bad, because the servers' legs and patrons' chairs keep getting in my children's way. I can only give this a three-star review, since the people there do not seem to understand how special my children are and insist on giving us and our children dirty looks when it is their fault they are eating in my children's play area! How rude! My review: This could be a very special place for brunch. It's clear Sarabeth's has taken great care to provide an interesting menu, a pleasing atmosphere and good service. The experience was ruined on both of my visits, however, by incredibly loud and rude families. On both visits, the din was so loud, my ears were left ringing. Also, children were left to run around into patrons and servers while their oblivious parents sip mimosas and bloody marys. On my visit this morning, the children in one large family group kept getting louder and louder, and rather than suggest the kids demonstrate a little more courtesy, the parents in the group kept getting louder and louder, as well. Before long, everyone at that one table was bellowing and no one else in the room could hear a thing at their own table. I can't hold Sarabeth's completely blameless. While I pity the servers having to negotiate unsupervised children, the servers certainly have the right to ask parents to keep their children seated for the children's safety, the servers' ease and other patron's comfort. Moreover, it can't be lost on the staff how unpleasantly loud the place is--half the orders have to be repeated because the servers cannot hear patrons over the playground-level volume. I love the decor, but some design elements to keep the noise down and soften all the hard concrete edges of the old warehouse building would make the space much more accommodating to the din of families and other patrons. I enjoyed my Goldie Lox omelet with lox and cream cheese, and people in my party loved the preserves served with the muffins, but the aural assault and frenetic environment caused by children treating Sarabeth's like it was a McDonald's playland ruined what should have been a nice, relaxing brunch. My two meals were very good, but I see no reason to return, no matter how good the food may be. A great brunch is as much about the atmosphere as it is the food, and Sarabeth's simply doesn't deliver the whole brunch package.

    Amazing!!! But make reservations in advance to ensure a table... its well worth it! This location is in Tribeca and in the morning its a quiet part of town. Great for a stroll... and brunch! The menu has lots of tempting dishes! The hard part is picking what you really feel like having! Sweet or savory?!?! The lemon ricotta pancakes are amazing! The texture is great and the flavor... well makes you smile. The portion is huge and may be worth just sharing and getting some sides... like bacon! Love bacon!! The chorizo frittata and farmers omelette were also good. I liked the frittata better. The sauce was delicious and the mix of meat veggies and manchego cheese... good savory dish. The farmers omelette was also good but I think I wanted chorizo at the time ;) The wait staff was very good and attentive. The ambiance was very nice and bustling. Felt like brunch! Would come again if in NYC!

    The only thing that really stood out to me for the restaurant in a very positive way was the decor. Sarabeth has beautiful light themed brunch place with all the traditional choices for entrees. I came here during the summer with a couple of friends for brunch. They have all the traditional selections and I believe they're particularly known for their popovers. I ordered the salmon eggs benedict for as it looked to be an interesting twist on a traditional entree. I also substituted the english muffin for a pumpkin muffin. I actually learned on this day that the english muffin are always included on the bottom of the eggs benedict and that substituting it out, would really change my experience. Definitely a good learning experience for an uninitiated foodie. On to the food, the salad came a little bit bland and uninspired. The poached eggs were alright, but when presented just on top of the salmon, it looked almost sloppy. Moving onto the salmon, there were parts which were too thick to chew and definitely not as tender as I would have liked. Because there was no english muffin, the texture of the dishes was also too viscous and liquidy. There was nothing solid I could really bite my teeth into. I will say that the Pumpkin Muffin was quite nice, but not enough to make up for the rest of the dish. Part of it is my fault, but even then, the dish could have been better executed.

    Went here for Sunday brunch..enjoyed it very much! The food was excellent! Had the Lumberjack with poached eggs and no sausage..I also ordered a juice and iced coffee. In all the food was best. I'm just a bit unsatisfied because one of my eggs was over cooked inside, the yoke didn't ooze out like the other one. Moreover I've had better ice coffee before. The ambience was great. The business was overcrowded and the brunch was a bit pricey, not what I expected.

  • Jiann M.

    Pros: - beautiful interior (kind of like a tea room) - tasty steak hash - ^ came with a HUGE salad - awesome server! She was super attentive and refilled my coffee very frequently - quick service - pancakes came with 5 large pieces Cons: - steak hash came with a teeny tiny amount of steak hash - lemon ricotta pancakes (weak flavor, and the pancakes were a bit tough and chewy) - a bit pricey for the quantity of food Bottom line: I came here with a friend and had a great time-- I can see why Taylor Swift likes this place so much. I probably won't return for the food, but maybe for a drink?

    I came here for lunch with a friend yesterday and we were pleased. The place is enormous, which is nice compared to an uptown location. Our server was great--efficient and friendly--and the food was good too. My friend had the tuna salad sandwich, which she said was good, and my frittata with chorizo and sweet peppers was also good. AND they have almond milk, for which I'm always grateful :)

    We were going to be downtown, so we were excited to try the Tribeca location. We love brunch at the central park south and the upper west locations, and decided to bring the bf's visiting parents here on a Sunday afternoon. We called earlier and were told they accept reservations, however not on the day of (which is understandable). When we arrived around 11:30, there was quite a few people lined up in front of us. The hostess quoted us a 15-20 minute wait. We were pleasantly surprised to only have waited about fifteen minutes before we were seated and our drink orders were taken. Maybe we were too hyped up. We started with the basket of muffins, which were of the quality we have come to expect from Sarabeth's. The bf's parents were pleased as well. The preserves were amazing as usual. The scones are seriously addictive. I ordered the steak hash with poached eggs; my friend had ordered this at a different location and it came with a side of a muffin, scone, croissant, or toast with preserves. Me and the bf loved her dish and were excited to have it again. First of all, this dish didn't come with a side of crack muffin/scone/croissant at this location. It was also very, very disappointing. The eggs were overcooked and hard. And for a dish called "steak hash with leaches eggs," it sure didn't come with much steak. The 'salad' that came on the side was really mostly carrots. A lot of it. My plate arrived a bit cold. I had to really force myself to finish my food. The bf ordered the stuffed popovers, which left him unimpressed. His parents ordered the eggs benedict (which sadly, we had said was really good) and the farmer's omelette; both were disappointed. We might have caught them on a bad day, but it's still Sarabeth's and I have come to expect a certain level of quality from them, especially at their price range. The waiter was friendly, and the muffins/scones+ preserves are crack. But the wait time, price, and serious lack of food quality (/consistency with other SB's we've eaten at) knocked three stars off. I'd much rather wait an hour for an extraordinary meal at one of the other locations we've eaten at and loved.

    Made a recent visit to this location for an excellent Sunday brunch. Having read other reviews, I knew to try the tomato soup. I don't even particularly like tomato soup, but when an item receives such unanimous acclaim, it must be ordered. The soup was incredible; rich and velvety with perfectly diced chunks of tomato throughout, well worth the praise that has been heaped upon it. The steak sandwich that our server convinced me to try was really good. The hangar steak was a little more done than I generally enjoy, but it blended so well with caramelized onion, frisee salad, and rustic ciabatta bun that all was forgiven. And the skin-on french fries that came with were amazing, they reminded me of a more delicate version of those found at Five Guys. The only item that I found disappointing was the bloody Mary. I've come to expect bloody Mary's to be savory and spicy, this one was so mild that it was almost sweet. I'm not sure if there is a spicy option that I simply neglected to order. Our server Dewey was friendly and knowledgeable, but it was clear that he was fairly busy. Service was attentive, but things came out a little slow. A minor error was made in the order, but it was remedied with such speed and professionalism that it isn't worth discussing here. A great experience overall. If I were a local, I'd definitely return for seconds.

    Sarabeth's NY Manhattan Tribeca 10a Sunday 16th November 2014 Three Stars There was a long line of strollers parking outside. If you were planning on rug-rats, you probably can get all of the baby advice at this very restaurant. We made 10am reservation and we seated in a four top straight back from the hostess stand. We were offered alcohol, coffee, and juice. I opted for coffee and asked for heavy whipping cream but he flatly declined its existence. Our waiter was more concerned about up-selling than taking care of our table. We ordered the Popover, Lemon Ricotta Pancakes and Chorizo Frittata. The food came out quickly. Popover: The eggs were airy, the popover was fluffy, and cream cheese added a nice texture. My only complaint was that the distribution of the diary was not very even. The UES Sarabeths didn't offer the English pastry at all. Pancakes: The cakes were light and uniform in both diameter and thickness. The flavor was more neutral and less sweet. The whipped butter melted nicely. Fritatta: The Eggs seemed more omelette-like. The Chorizo was good but didn't feel very plentiful or well integrated. The Croissant and Preserve was delicious. Overall, it was a decent brunch.

    Really enjoyed the brunch here. I'm not a morning person so my breakfast typically starts around noon so I love that Sarabeth's is one of the few places in the city that serves a late brunch- until 4:00pm. Goldie lox omelette- scrambled eggs, lox and cream cheese is really good! I had this with a corn muffin on the side, also very delicious. Booth seating is definitely preferred because all of the other tables are pretty close together. They also have a few tables for outdoor seating and you had a nice view of the freedom tower which is great for those who want a nice background for their brunch picture... Because if you had brunch but didn't post a photo of it, did it really happen?

  • Lauren P.

    HUGE portions and a HUGE menu - This is a great place to come to with big groups. It can be on the pricey side, but with such an extensive menu, there are a lot of different options for everyone. I ordered the pop eye and my sister ordered an egg white omelet with spinach and goat cheese. Both were really really good and we both left really full. The downside was the bathroom - it was basically disgusting. I was shocked too, I expected it to be nice/cleaner.

  • Stace C.

    Again, not sure what the hype is for Sarabeth's. I personally think NY'ers are running out of brunch places to go to. One redeeming factor is the gorgeous space, it's airy and open. There are also outside patio seats. We ordered the famous lemon ricotta pancakes which were good but not AMAZING. Also tried the Garden omelette which tasted like any other omelette and wasn't particularly memorable. Ironically the bread and jam was the highlight of my meal. I highly doubt I will be back anytime soon with so many better options available in the city. The only other reason I may ever be back is if I needed a brunch place that took reservations.

    Drum Roll Please- for My 1000th Review I will regale you with the tale of my 40th Birthday Dinner that was held at Sarabeth's Tribeca on Sat 2/21/15. In late December I inquired about having an event and Mini and Alana the General Managers were who I communicated with via email. They have a number of options brunch, Lunch, dinner, seated dinner, buffets etc. After a lot of hemming and hawing between my mother and I we decided on a buffet dinner. (we had a number of vegans and vegetarians in our party and the buffet dinner selections gave us the greatest latitude. My only complaint is that they require 14 business days to confirm your party. I understand they need time but that is almost three weeks. I had several people cancel last minute as it was very inclement weather. It was kind of stressful but when I did email to confirm I was specific as possible about our selections and all of the items in the contract. (my mother who was kind enough to foot the bill for this soiree reported that when she settled up they charged for the final tally of 18 present guests not the confirmed talley of 21-I appreciated this) The private room was great and I ordered balloons from Balloon Saloon (see review) we had three servers for our party who passed the hors-doeuvres and brought us drinks. The food was pretty good especially the scallops and salmon. I ordered extra sides and appetizer platters which I probably didn't need to do. Over all it was great-I would definitely investigate having an event here-I felt they worked to make it successful and it was. Will have to return to investigate Brunch here.

    Food - 3 stars Service - 4.5 stars Decorations - 4.5 stars Honestly, Sarabeth's is way too hyped up. Well maybe the central park south one is better. I mean the food was decent, but I wouldn't go back again in a city like New York where there are so many good food options. Our muffin basket had clearly been sitting out for a while - they were cold and dry. They didn't even come with the assortment of jams promised until we asked for them. My eggs Benedict was solid, but not spectacular. However, wait staff were super nice and the decor was airy and spacious. If I had to go back, the scrambled eggs in the popover at the table across from us looked really good.

    I have wanted to dine in this restaurant for years and finally had the opportunity this week. The decor is warm, inviting and homey. The staff is warm and friendly. The food is delicious. The portion sizes are terrific. We were here for Sunday brunch and our meals were terrific. Our server described each meal right down to the texture of the cheese used in each. We each had a different kind of egg dish from Goldilox to cheese omelets. One was better than the next. I would come back in a minute.

    Came here with a big group of friends for brunch. This place is massive so they can handle big groups, which is great. Service: Our waitress was nice, but the food took forever, and the water boy was running to a well to get the water....... Food: Bread rolls were stale, they tasted like they had been sitting there for a few days. $14 for a basket of muffins?? I had the eggs Benedict which was just blahhh. The eggs were way over cooked. I would have sent it back, but our waitress seemed to of disappeared after our food came. The pancakes a few people had. They were good but didn't really blow my mind... at all. And to top that they tasted different. Like two chefs had made them two different ways. One girls food tasted more like cinnamon and the other more like lemon?? The best thing about the meal was the hug bloody mary w/shrimp. Overpriced but well worth it considering the food. One star. One star for seating large group. I've been to both other locations and they kick this places ass. I'm not sure what's going on with this location but the food is poorly executed and the service leaves much to be desired.

    Nothing better than Sunday brunch at Sara Beth's. It's usually pretty easy to get a table for two without much of a wait, but if you're coming with a bigger group, definitely make a reservation ahead of time. The breakfast menu is excellent. Some very delicious omelettes. I'm a big fan of the Goldie lox omelette and spinach and goat cheese omelette. The salmon eggs benefits is excellent as well. As for sides, the sausages are some of the tastiest I've tried. They have chicken & apple and pork & apricot...yum. My boyfriend loves the sweeter breakfast options at sarabeths...he raves about the fluffy French toast and ricotta pancakes...both I've had bites of and they are definitely rich. The cocktails are good, but have little alcohol for the cost. They do make a mean Bloody Mary...opt to have the jumbo shrimp added; you won't be disappointed!

    I'm a fan of the sarabeth's around the city and am really glad to have found one right by my office. It can get a little loud between the hours of 430-730, so this may not be the place for a quiet date night. The have a nice happy hour menu with wine, beer, and specialty cocktails as well as Our bartender--yes there was only one for the whole bar -- was friendly and efficient.

    Came to Sarabeth's with some friends after kayaking in the Hudson with some friends. Waitstaff was super friendly even though my entire butt was covered in Hudson river water, which was nice to see. Ordered the eggs bene and it was delicious. I was on my #cleanplateswag. The eggs were just runny, the english muffin was clearly freshly baked and nice and wasn't store bought ordinary english muffin. Canadian bacon was tasty and had what I wanted. Price...yeah it was expensive, but it's Sarabeth's. It carries the name, and I tasted some of my friends Jam's. De-li-cious. Since I'm a broke college student, might not head backkkkkk, but definitely when I'm a rich actor, this will be my breakfast place of choice

    We came here for dinner, and ordered triple dip, salmon with watermelon and tzatziki sauce, and blueberry crisp for dessert. I really enjoyed the triple dip. The edamame dip was especially delicious. My salmon was cooked perfectly but the portion was a bit on the smaller side. The blueberry dessert was pretty good.

    Delightful space for dinner with friends. Came here with my siblings and my husband and we were seated at a corner booth near the bar. It was super loud there because there were a ton of people at the bar but as the night died down, it got quieter. I ordered the pork chop, which was served with sweet potato purée, broccoli rabe, and BACON SAUCE. I wanted to lick my plate to get all that sauce in my belly but... I behaved. The pork chop was cooked perfectly and I was surprised with how large the serving was! My brother ordered the burger and my husband said his steak frites was cooked well. I think my sister had the roast chicken and she also enjoyed her meal. The restaurant has great service and the decor is nice - mostly white with murals painted on the wall. My only issue was that there is only one bathroom (unisex, to make it even worse) and it's right next to someone's table. So if the bathroom is occupied, you're basically standing next to a group of people eating. Maybe there is another bathroom that I am unaware of? I'd love to come back to try the brunch - I've heard amazing things.

    One of my favorite brunch places in the city - with locations all over the city, it's convenient and a traditional American brunch place to go with friends and family! The one in Tribeca was really big and we had no wait time when we walked in a 12pm on a Sunday. Yes, no wait time. On a Sunday. Food - We ordered an appetizer of guac & chips, salmon lox, salmon benedict, and almond crusted french toast. Everything was absolutely delicious. The guac was really fresh and the potato chips added an interesting twist. The salmon lox was flavorful (though a bit too cheesy). The salmon benedict was spot on, and the french toast had the right amount of crisp. Each portion was more than enough and the prices were reasonable. Service - The hostess was really accommodating even though we didn't have a reservation. The waiter was really patient with taking out order and offering us more chips (no additional charge, guys). He also was cool about taking a picture of the three of us. Venue - It was a classy setting (you know when restrooms are marked W.C.) and brightly lit. There were large communal tables for big groups but also square tables for more intimate meals, but still with ample space for everything you order.

    Nice ambiance I can't deny Decent service so far I like Open the menu: "wow the price is quite damn high" Never mind with Sarabeth I shall try. The food was meh why the hype? Though one visit and only for brunch I think, I think NY has many other gems more worthy and budget friendly so, goodbye. P.S. this location is extremely "family oriented"---- meaning you might be eating along with screaming or/and seat jumping kids

    The food is phenomenal there, it's foodie heaven to me. I always get a burst of flavor each visit whether it's there fig and prosciutto salad, their white pizza, chicken pot pie; it's definitely satisfying. The restaurant has such great ambiance and great space. Also there waitstaff and bartenders are the best; they're so professional. charming, and friendly. Shout out to Texroy and Tuba (hope I spelled her name correctly) at the bar. If you're in the Tribeca area, this is one restaurant you must visit!

    Brilliant breakfast of buttermilk pancakes, strawberries and apple-smoked bacon (nice and crispy)! The service was professional, the space was open and warm, and the location in TriBeCa perfect for a summer day!

    Came for brunch and was not disappointed. Had egg whites with chive and cheese in a popover....delicious! Their mimosas were quality as well. They weren't watered down with too much orange juice. Service could have been more attentive.

    In a nutshell: Overhyped. Our food was not spectacular, and the service was sub-par, when we went for brunch. I'd rather eat at home or go elsewhere. The bad: - We had the Goldie Lox and Strawberry&Banana Oats - neither were memorable. - Our waiter was training a waiter at the time, and the mentor would sometimes randomly let the trainee 'serve' us? Let's just say I didn't enjoy being the test subject. - Service was slow. The good: - On the Saturday that we went, we were seated promptly... - ?

    Fantastic service, and the atmosphere was spectacular for our lovely brunch. I had the Apple-Cinnamon French Toast and my friend chose the Coconut Waffle. I had a bite of his, and both of our meals were delicious! The coconut taste in the waffle was very subtle. The huge, beautiful mural on the wall is incredible, too!

    We went there for brunch. The food is good and they also have a great kids menu. The service was also good even though it was a little slow at times. The physical space is a converted grocery store, and it lacks a little in my opinion, and the sound level could make it difficult to hear each other at times.

    our first outdoor brunch of the Season calls for a review! solid nyc brunch. TriBeCa location great as it's right by the water and makes for a fun afternoon. sat outside and enjoyed some eggs. fluffy egg white and veggie omelet . the breads were fresh and We loved the jams!

    Sarabeth's in Tribeca is charming and, despite being well-known, easy to snag last-minute brunch reservations for on Open Table. What I loved about the place is the beautiful, airy interior with plenty of windows to bask the entire dining area in sunlight ... it was the perfect venue to host a breakfast meet-up with an old friend from high school. I never felt rushed by the servers at any point of the meal, even when we chatted away for well over two hours (8 years is a lot to catch up on)! The entire time, our waitress was prompt with our coffee/water refills and just overall pleasant. That being said, I don't think the food stands out enough to warrant the mark-up in prices. My eggs benedict was poached nicely, but for $18.50 I'd expect something mind-blowing... and/or a delicious side of home-fries a la brunch at Jane's (yes, I STILL cannot stop raving about Jane's!). But no, it was just the eggs benny with a side salad, and I was never offered my choice of muffin/croissant/scone/toast, as suggested on the menu. Quite bummed about that, actually - I was looking forward to trying the pumpkin muffin! My friend D got the 'famous' Lemon & Ricotta Pancakes as his entrée and holy shit, those five pancakes were MASSIVE. Can't offer an opinion of the taste, though, as I didn't have a bite... Sarabeth's is definitely on the pricier end of brunch, with food that was good but not particularly memorable. With so many other options available in the area/city, I don't see myself coming back anytime soon... unless (a) I need to make morning-of reservations for brunch in the area; (b) I'm coordinating a classy brunch for a large group of people; or (c) I get wheedled into giving Sarabeth's a second chance for some other meal (lunch/dinner).

    Can't get a bit noisy at lunchtime with all the moms, toddlers and their strollers. But besides that, excellent fries served in a cone, burgers, mac and cheese and lobster rolls. Cobb shrimp salad a bit messy to eat. Still a good go to place. Although one time I did have to call when I got back to the office to complain that the waiter continually kept trying to take our fries before we were done with them. We were wondering if he wanted them for himself?

    As soon as me and my client walked in the door for breakfast, the three hostesses looked very confused. They didn't know where to seat us and my client walked over to two waiter's she had know for a few years then BOOM. The African American hostess threw her fake straight hair back as if she owned the place and shook her head as if my client were wrong for saying hello to the waiter's... food wasn't all that and will never return. Waiter service was great but the Hoe-stesses have to get it together!

    We went here for brunch with another couple on a Sunday at 11:00. We did have a reservation, and were seated immediately in their vast dining area. One thing that really stands out about Sarabeth's is the size of the restaurant. With plenty of room and ample space between tables, it is a great venue for larger parties. It could be a great place (or a terrible place) for a first date, as you will actually be able to hear and understand every word they say... The Bloody Mary was decent, but we elected to pass on the option to add shrimp. It wasn't quite spicy enough for my preference, but had a smooth yet authentic texture and the right amount of octane. We had some high hopes for the bakery items, but just felt slightly underwhelmed by the execution of an unremarkable scone and pumpkin muffin. Not bad as a bread basket item, but nothing I would go out of my way for. We had the Popeye's Eggs and the Chorizo Frittata. Portion size was appropriate, yet we agreed that the items appeared better on the menu then tasted on the dish. There was nothing notably off or poor in execution, just did not feature the "wow" factor that makes you crave a particular item or dish. Overall we are likely to return given the wide arrange of menu options and fantastic setting, and hopefully the dishes will find the pop to take them from par to something that would make an unemployed roommate get up before 9:00 AM for.

    I'm reviewing this restaurant as a vegan. The only breakfast option was to order the granola w/o honey. Atleast they had soy milk . The strawberries they topped the granola with were very sour and disappointing. The only option I saw for lunch would have been a small salad, as all of the entrees had meat and dairy. Atleast have one option on the breakfast and lunch menu, please!

  • Heather I.

    The coffee is deliciously rich, the pastries also. The Bloody Mary had a pickled salad of veggies on top. The brunch was just as expected - yummy and filling. Lots of family and kids but not noisy as such. At one point, strollers were piled so deep at the front door that they were practically blocking people from entering. No one seemed to mind tho and the attentive service kept us completely happy customers.

  • Sonia M.

    Considering that they are considered as the 'go to' brunch place in New York, I was a tad bit disappointed with the food. The Salmon Eggs Benedict dish was good, Chorizo frittata was OK and the famous lemon ricotta pancakes were bland and tasteless. Having said that, the decor and ambiance of the place was lovely.

    I took my mom here for Mother's day. We had an amazing time! I personally love this location and prefer it over the others. The staff is personable, super nice, didn't feel at all rushed and we truly enjoyed our meal. Mom had the Chorizo Frittata and I had the Spinach and Goat cheese Omelette. Both delicious. Mom really loved it and that's all that matters, isn't it? I highly recommend this location if you're downtown and looking for classy, comfy, brunch spot with yummy food.

    I'm a bit torn as to whether this place gets 3 or 4 stars. Part of me wants to give it a 4 because the hostess seated us in the back past a bunch of open tables and right next to Jamie Foxx and fam. I didn't even notice until after settling into my seat, but that was a total ZOMG moment. That was pretty damn cool, and well done you guys. The other part of me wants to stay true to the food, and from the dishes we ordered for the table, I found that the quality varied based on the dish you ordered. I don't expect to have amazing hangar steak for lunch at a place like Sarabeth's but I felt like it that day. Unfortunately, medium-rare was more like medium/medium-well. The lemon zest pancakes, however, were delicious. Light, fluffy, hint of citrus that cuts through the butter and carbs... this was easily the star of the table. I don't even like pancakes normally. I'd like to come back again soon just to try something else on the menu... I do believe it is a matter of navigating the fluff dishes and finding the true gems.

    Recent transplant to NYC and I really wanted to like this place. Unfortunately, after eating there yesterday morning, I got so sick. I ordered the Goldie Lox and after waiting what felt like forever (it's okay, rough morning, it probably wasn't as long as it felt), I was so excited when the food came, I devoured it. However, I did notice the eggs were a little runnier than I like and the temperature was just not right at all. I wrote it off as the cream cheese consistency and kept eating and in retrospect, I should've quit while I was ahead. The muffin was dry but the bacon & pork sausage were both good! Our server was prompt with the coffee refills. Classic brunch ambiance. A little pricey given the bill came out to $70+ for 2 and we didn't even order alcohol. Will probably return only if a visitor really wants to go and steer away from the eggs.

    This is a great place to have wine and dinner with Friends. It was easy to make a reservation for four people on a Friday night via Opentable. They had a happy hour drink and dish menu. I ordered the Branzino entree. It was delicious and crisp, but I didn't care too much for the sides that accompanied the fish. My friend ordered the shrimp cocktail from the happy hour menu, but it wasn't fresh. The waitress was kind enough to take it off our bill.

    We went for restaurant week... the menu is a little bit "blah".. i guess just the selection is not great... Food: depend on what you get, my pork is great, and my friend's chicken is okay... i don't remember the appetizer, but the gelato dessert is a little too sweet for me... Service is ok... it wasn't busy that night... only 3 tables that night, but i rarely see the waitress come and check on us... but it's ok... more time for us to chill and chat...

    This place needs a much higher rating. My three friends and I had a reservation for Sunday Brunch and the entire experience was magical. The place is brightly lit, with high white walls and it was the size of a warehouse. Our server was polite and we did not have to wait long for the food. I had the Eggs Benedict and it was easily some of the best eggs I have ever had. I also tried my friend's French Toast and I ate most of it on her. Thank you Sarabeth's!

  • Lindsay B.

    In the spirit of full disclosure: I just got engaged the evening before coming to Sarabeth's and my boyfriend planned a brunch for the two of us here for the next afternoon, so it was undoubtedly the best brunch I have ever had in my entire life-- you could have fed me a twig and it would have tasted divine. Not kidding. Anyway, my fiancee does not like breakfast foods and I Iove them. This restaurant has a lot of great options both for those who enjoy breakfast and those who prefer lunch. FOOD: I ordered a decaf coffee, the 4 flowers fresh juice, and the popover eggs, which was scrambled eggs, cream cheese and scallions open face on a popover. Coffee was just eh, I didn't like the 4 flowers juice for $7, but I loved the popover eggs. I was surprised at how much I liked it actually. It also comes with a decent sized salad. My fiancee ordered the crab sandwich with fries instead of whatever side it came with that I cannot remember. He enjoyed the sandwich, but it was very small. It did look extremely fresh though. SERVICE: I thought the service was good. It was very busy and we had a reservation and only waited about 2 minutes. Waitress was also nice. I would definitely go back and get the popover eggs. But it definitely helps that the memory I have of this establishment and my personal life events that surrounded it. I will definitely come back :)!

    Sweet in terms of the style and service. A bit of a wait on weekends, but the brunch was nice. The one at 59th is a tad less crowded and allows for a more comfortable sit-down meal. Try the great tomato/squash soups if they're available.

  • J B.

    The food was ok. I'm not really sure how to describe it. The flavor was good but they really love the use of butter and sugar. Living in the south, I'm used to southern cooking, but this was way too much for me. The food (calamari for an appetizer and the chicken pot pie for entree) was really heavy and was saturated in butter. The gelato was like eating a spoonful of pure sugar. I could only take a few bites.

    This location is an absolute WIN for any private event you might want to host. I just held my sister's bridal shower at Sarabeth's Tribeca and it was a phenomenal experience. The location is conveniently reached by the 2 or 3 train, and if you're coming by car, parking is actually not an impossibility in this quaint Manhattan neighborhood. If all else fails, there's a parking garage across the street for your convenience. The best part of this experience was the private dining room which we had all to ourselves, with it's own bathroom as well as a separate entrance on Jay Street. This proved extremely helpful for myself and the other bridesmaids to set up the space before everyone -- who came in through the main entrance -- arrived. We were able to bring things from the car to the room discreetly and swiftly as we had found parking right by the Jay Street entrance. It could not have been more convenient than this! We were a group of about 25-30 ladies and the room was very cozy without feeling at all cramped. For a larger sized group, there is another private room (the "Skylight" room) that can be rented as well. sarabethsrestaurants.com… Our room was outfitted with a projector screen that can be hooked up to a laptop (they have all the necessary wiring), and with portable speakers, the room can be transformed and party-ready within minutes. I brought in my macbook, and a small pair of speakers and the slideshow played seamlessly as the guests arrived. When we arrived an hour before the event, I had a two-tiered custom cake that they were able to take off my hands and refrigerate for me. When we were finally able to go in to decorate the room, the cake had already been nicely displayed on the cake table, and it was perfect. Voila! ( yelp.com/biz_photos/sara… ) The service at Sarabeth's was impeccable, there were two waiters who like ninjas, served guests, cleared tables, etc like pros. There was no sense of intrusion and it all went down very effortlessly. Prior to the shower, I had been in constant communication with the manager, Mini, and her assistant Veronica, and they were both very responsive and helpful. I was even able to pay a visit days before the actual shower just to test out the projector and Mini adjusted the view on the screen to have the slideshow play perfectly which was a major help. The only gripe I admit I had about the place is that we were only given 15 minutes to decorate the room. Thankfully a group of six of us were there and all hands were on deck to ensure the space was converted to a beach-themed bridal shower within that short time frame. But I can't say that I did not scramble like mad to get it all done in time. The duration of the shower itself was two hours which was just right, though again, there was a lot of scrambling at the end of the event to clear up the room so that they could set up for another event following ours. I think some of our guests may have felt a little rushed, but I do think to be fair, two hours is a good amount of time for a bridal shower, especially if it is organized and planned out thoughtfully and executed well. Another issue is their requisite minimum number of guests for the room to be private. I had to guarantee 30 guests, but we fell a little short of that. Unfortunately I still had to pay for the absentee guests, which wasn't an exorbitant amount to being with (actually, really reasonable), but it would have been nice for that charge to be omitted since our group was large enough for the room to stay private for sure. The restaurant wasn't busy at all at the time. Food-wise, the presentation and the menu were excellent. It was a really elegant touch that they printed a menu for us and placed it at each table setting it definitely added a lot of appeal to the overall look of an already beautiful space. I didn't eat much because I was running around during the shower, but I did sample the lobster endive as well as a brownie, and both were delicious! Their teas were wonderful, too. Everyone appeared to have been pleased with the entire affair, including the food. Overall, this was an amazing place, and I am really proud to have picked such a great spot to host my sister's bridal shower & the weather could not have been more perfect that day! All that said, I would highly recommend Sarabeth's to anyone looking for a space to host a private event, specifically a Bridal Shower. 4.5 Stars!!!! P.S. -- We picked up a few balloons at The Balloon Saloon on W Broadway, and it was a great way to add more pizzazz to the room. A little pricey, but fun!

    One of the better brunch experiences I've had to date by far. Yes, it is also one of the priciest brunch experiences, but oh-so-worth every penny. Started off with the guac and house potato chips and this was the first time in which I have seen the restaurant get really generous with the guacamole-chip ratio. We had so much leftover guac that they comped us extra chips. The guac was a tad bland, but an extra sprinkle of salt and squeeze of lemon juice sealed the deal (sometimes a lil DIY is needed). Also ordered a fresh-squeezed grapefruit juice to start off with, light and opens up the appetite. I ordered their lemon ricotta pancakes from the brunch menu and also sampled the French toast with fresh strawberries. Lemon ricotta pancakes were fluffily prepared and had a slight zesty taste, but I could not taste the ricotta at all. Perhaps ricotta adds to the fluffiness? Whatever its purpose was, it was not very evident to me. Also tried my friend's order of the French Toast with fresh strawberries: uh-may-zing. It was filling, but didn't leave me feeling heavy. Tasted GREAT. I think they actually make the French toast using challah bread. Order the French toast, you won't regrets it! Our server was very smart and friendly - made herself available without constantly checking up on us. It was as though she could read our minds when we needed something. Sarabeth's offers a cozy environment that is busy without patrons feeling the rush. Everyone is engaged in pleasant conversations and I did not see any unhappy faces here. The inside is actually much larger than the exterior makes it out to be. They offer al fresco dining that looks like it would be a lot of fun when it isn't muggy/humid out. Great brunch experience that I cannot wait to repeat!

    Such a beautiful restaurant! When you walk in, it has such a clean, crisp feeling. This is definitely bigger (and a little more modern looking) than the Sarabeth's I went to on the UES. Brunch menu was good. I had the Popeye Eggs which was essentially ham, eggs, and an english muffin. Everything you'd expect from a normal brunch meal. Their brunch drinks are a good size. They served my mimosa in a wine glass so I definitely got my money's worth! I'm not a spicy drink kind of girl but their Bloody Mary's looked amazing!

    I was here for brunch this past Sunday and I was just satisfied. I am a big food person and was really looking forward to eating here. I love brunch and was really pleased with the menu. I had a hard time deciding! I finally chose salmon eggs Benedict. I rarely order eggs Benedict, except for special occasions. My eggs Benedict came on a stale bun that just took away from my experience. My other complaint was the bathrooms. I read some other reviews of this place and was warned about the bathrooms and now I understand why. It was a unisex bathroom that only allowed one person in at a time! And while you're standing on the line you're practically standing over people who are trying to enjoy a meal. I don't like how the restaurant doesn't seat parties of 4 or more outside. The inside of the restaurant was crowded, loud, and tumultuous. I would have enjoyed sitting outside more than sitting in a crowded restaurant. My overall experience of the place was just okay. I probably wouldn't return.

  • Diane Z.

    They have some great deals on the wine on certain days, so check for that. The food was nothing special, had the tiger shrimp, steak frites, duck confit, popeye pizza, crab spaghetti, creme brulee, and shortcake. I don't remember any of it being very good, except that the crab spaghetti was particularly horrible. The best thing was probably the bread, so if you want to get some wine and have some bread, I would say go. Otherwise, don't do it.

    3.5 stars, just rounding up a bit. Came here on a dreary Sunday with a friend. Definitely come downtown to this location for brunch- it's somehow grander, bigger, and less packed. You can make reservations for large groups, but don't even bother if your're coming in groups of 2 at prime weekend brunch time- 12, 12:30. They keep plenty of space open for walk ins. Surprisingly, you'd think such a concept would warrant turning tables quickly, but that's not the case here. Our waiter came by quickly, as did our food, but they didn't rush us for the check. In fact we had to egg them on for it. Brunch items are in the mid teens (HUGE portions though), and the menu features a true assortment of breakfast and lunch. My friend and I shared the Goldie Lox- a wet egg scramble with cream cheese, smoked salmon, and your choice of bread, which includes a muffin type, or croissant with Sarabeth's "legendary"preserves (whether I think they are legendary is up for debate, but sure, the butter is sweet and the jam is fruity). The eggs were done well- you just have to love your scramble runny. The banana muffin we shared was a bit dry, but I guess that's why they give a dollop of butter. We also shared the famous lemon ricotta pancakes- I was looking forward to this, but they were unfortunately disappointing. Whichever Yelper I read said they were the best pancakes ever surely hasn't had Clinton St. They were lemon-y but not very ricotta based at all, and in fact, I found them a little dry. The special syrup it came with wasn't bad; had a nice citrus flavor but when we asked for a refill (there are 5 big cakes, after all), we got this overly sweet, blah syrup. I also got a side of applewood smoked bacon, which hit the spot because well, it's bacon, but did not taste applewood smoked at all- I was expecting more of a handmade house-cured thick cut sort of thing but, oh well. My friend got a side of chicken sausage which was nicely charred and probably a bit better. Coffee is good, and strong and available for free refills. I dig Sarabeth's because of the varied menu and atmosphere but it's certainly not the best brunch place ever, as some of the hype would suggest.

    Food is alright, nothing spectacular. Venue is huge....I wonder how they sustain rent on such a large place. Service is friendly, but a bit on the slow side. Need to request atleast twice for the same thing.... or difficult to get the attention of the servers at times. It might be do to the large area they need to keep an eye on. I usually come here on Fridays around 12, noon. There are a lot of nannies here with little children.

    I recently visited Sarabeth's near Central Park and I had a good experience, so when I saw there was a Sarabeth down in Tribeca i decided to reward myself for having undergone a hellish workout in the morning with a nice brunch. I was a bit worried that Sarabeth's would make me wait some crazy amount of time but I was seated right away, and at a comfortable table to boot! Sarabeth's Tribeca is much larger than its Central Park sibling. There are four key seating areas. There's the bar, the area behind the bar (where I sat) and off to the left is another. Then walk towards the rest rooms and there's another seating area deeper in the restaurant. What I appreciated was how spread out the seating was. The one by Central Park is in a smaller space and is a bit crowded for my tastes. This one had plenty of room and felt wide open and welcoming. The decor is similar to its sibling restaurant, with liberal use of bright colors to give it a friendly and shiny appearance. I felt instantly at ease as soon as I walked in and the comfortable seat I sat in really helped me settle in. My waiter came over very quickly and took my order with the zeal of a pro and disappeared to put it in. So what did I get? BABY BEAR PORRIDGE (with milk and honey) This serving of porridge was about a cup and a half, hot, fresh and sent out with a couple strawberries in the middle. Honey is provided off to the side and I drizzled it on liberally. It was creamy, delicious and had some nice chewy bits that reminded me of Irish oatmeal. Wonderfully comforting! GARDEN OMELETTE (mushroom, green peas, zucchini, cheddar cheese) I meant to order this with egg whites but wound up with a regular one. Oh, what is one to do? I ate it of course! The veggies were very finely chopped, which I found pleasant and different than most omelettes where the veggies are generally wilted greens or chunky. The cheese was super tasty and the eggs were light and fluffy. On the side was a choice of toast or a muffin. If you're going to do Sarabeth's, you do a muffin along with their soft butter and preserve. I opted for the pumpkin muffin. I had expected a tiny mini-muffin, but nope, this was a good medium sized muffin topped with pumpkin seeds and full of flavor. PORK SAUSAGE (with apricot preserve) The pork sausage side would have been tasty enough on it's own, but with the apricot preserve? It was heavenly! The sweet/salty combination reminded me of having roast pork from a Chinese place with Duck sauce. This was a bit less "clobber you over the head" and more "this is a VERY delicious combination1" Sarabeth is a fantastic brunch spot. I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a modern, comfortable and classy environment with tons of good food!

    A sad experience. The waiter left us. He never returned and ruined our Mother's Day meal and reunion with friends. He had an odd set of tables. Some outside. Some inside. He was frazzled when we arrived. The food was underwhelming as we tried to lift our own spirits. Obviously, the prices are astronomical so we had a plum horrible time. Thank god that the conversation saved the occasion. We were supposed to have a great time.

    I was excited to try yet another brunch spot right in my own neighborhood. It was a busy Sunday so I had a slow greeting from the hostesses (by the way, there were four) but after gaining their attn, I was led to the bar. Bright open space with the NFL on two TVs behind the bar. Aside from the loud children screaming (and yes, they should have been take outside I'm sorry) a very welcoming atmosphere. I ordered a Bloody Mary which had an amazing presentation. Came with a shrimp on top along with a variety of shredded veggies inside. Tasted better as I got the bottom where the spices were hiding. Was a bit disappointed there wasn't a small green salad or starters that looked appealing. So I went straight for the main course. Spinach and goat cheese omelette - which comes with muffin choice (many to choose from!). Food arrived swiftly, although a luke warm muffin. One of the best omelets ever - goat cheese perfectly tucked inside the eggs. #brunchbelle gives Sarabeths a 9 and I'll be back. This could become a regular stop.

    Busy, big restaurant that has a wonderful brunch menu to suit anyone in your group. They are professional and well equipped to take on large parties. We had a delightful brunch with a group of friends and I wouldn't hesitate to return. It's also a really lovely place to visit on the weekdays when it is much less busy.

    This is a great spot. The food is good, and the service is usually great and speedy, they get super packed and are almost getting into the brunch-overkill area where its too much, so stay away on sundays if youre not into that, go on a weekday, you can't go wrong.

    SO YUMZ. I deliberately chose this place because their sister locations in the UES were way too overcrowded and stuffy. The Tribeca location is quaint, quiet, and sweet. Interior and decor were so cute and classy. With that said, here are the main highlights of Sarabeth's: -LEMON RICOTTA PANCAKES. These are like crack. Highly recommended as something to share between two people, not three, because hostility may occur due to its amazingness. -SALMON EGGS BENEDICT. These are cooked to perfection and the salmon is just the way I like it. Fresh, salty, and cut medium to thick atop my eggs. I was so full by the end of the meal. -BANANA muffin. My friend gave me half of hers because she was stuffed too by the end of her omelette and these are so good. Dip them in jam to get the full effect :) Get their iced tea to go. They put fresh lemon slices in them.

    Probably the best eggs benedict I've ever had. The basket of muffins were great to. Best to go on a weekday to avoid the crowds. Definitely on the expensive side but worth it if you're looking for a proper brunch.

    Had brunch here while on a quick trip to NYC during the Labor Day weekend. I had the garden omelette and my husband had the almond-crusted French toast. The omelette was decent but nothing to write home about. The French toast, on the other hand, was delicious! Nice ambience, service was good (aside from the hostess who became a little bit exasperated with us as we decided whether to eat inside or outside - we settled on inside), and it was obviously a popular spot to get brunch!

    This was quite an awesome find in the Tribeca neighborhood. Their margaritas are over the top (both in size and spiceocity), and their food is exquisitely crafted. The only downside was the noise level, as others have mentioned.

    I'm going to say that overall I'm a fan of the decor and the food. I have had issues with the service though. In general, I think it's safe to say that they are struggling with the popularity of this place and it's early days yet. Service at brunch can be very spotty. It's the kind of place where a server welcomes you, hands out menus and takes orders then you might never see them again. I've had 1hr+ waits for food at brunch here and on a slow, weekend mid-afternoon had to chase down a server for our drinks clearly sitting on the bar then for our bill in order to pay and leave. The lemon ricotta pancakes are outstanding but ask for extra syrup because the ratio of pancake to syrup is waaaaay off. The bloody marys are impressive looking and only slightly less impressive to drink. The lemon tuna salad is very nice and the omelettes competent. I've seen the burgers and lobster rolls and they definitely look to be able to hold their own as well. Would have given a 3.5 star rating but can't so the good food I've had saw me round up vs. down. Oh, be warned that during a busy weekend brunch service the noise in the main room can be deafening.

    3.5/5 for me here The atmosphere here is very lively, especially for breakfast/brunch on the weekends. Make sure to make a reservation, as the place is very big but it seemed like every table was taken. They have a nice open layout with a big bar if you are interested in sitting for a drink or eating there for an option. Getting to the food, they have a decent assortment for breakfast. They tackle all your cravings starting with fresh juices, granola, waffles/french toast/pancakes, or any request with eggs. Everything that we had was enjoyed by the party I was with however, it seemed like they may have missed 1 of them. On top of the food taking a bit longer than normal (we were not in a rush), 1 member of our group did not get his pancake order. It took about 10 minutes or so for them to get the order to the table which bothered me a bit because the wait staff was a bit difficult to get a hold of if we needed something. Overall, the atmosphere is lively, food was good and price was average, but there were a couple of hiccups in our experience. Buon appetito.

    As I've heard from the locals, this is a typical NYC spot for brunch. The food was able to live up to all of the talk I have heard. I went for brunch and got the spilled over eggs on the croissants. Very filling and rich. The eggs are scrambled with cream cheese, so no complaining here. The dish comes with a side salad.

    Came for brunch and will definitely be back soon. So great to have a place that caters to kids and not just by having high chairs, but actual space for them to run around a bit (and roll the stroller into the space), not to mention waiters that appear to actually be trained on how to deal with kids and their parents. The food is good too. Too much bread on my eggs Benedict, so one less star for that, but they have great sausage, good coffee and great bloody marys.

    I had the mac and cheese off of the lunch menu and it was fantastic. I was there for a late Saturday afternoon brunch and the vibe was a little odd. The wait staff seemed a little confused and the service was quite slow, but the waitress kindly offered a free cocktail as compensation, and I was in no hurry, so I felt it was more than an even trade off. Overall a good experience, but make it special because it's not inexpensive.

    My fiance and I held our rehearsal dinner here. Our entire experience in working with Alana and her team: from my initial meeting with Alana and the immediate comfort I felt with her and the venue; to the communication process with her as we coordinated the rehearsal dinner and some of the details I wanted for the evening; to the actual night of the rehearsal dinner and the attention to detail and personalized attention we received (things like asking the jazz players to stop while I gave my speech, giving us an option to add an extra half hour); etc. was a truly wonderful experience. I own a service business and I appreciate companies and individuals that deliver on their commitments and I can not commend Alana and the Sarabeth's team enough for this. They did everything they said they would do and really went above and beyond for us. A true first rate experience and the start to what was the best weekend of our lives! We could not have had a better experience working with a venue and we are so grateful that we found Sarabeth's for the night.

    I really wish I would've ordered something else!!! I've heard amazing things about Sarabeth's, and I was so excited to try it. I was in town for the weekend, and made brunch reservations for Saturday morning. I was torn on whether I should go savory or sweet. I like to switch between the two, and since I had sweet the day before, I went for savory this time around. I never ever order the eggs benedict, but I know it's a pretty common favorite, so I thought I couldn't go wrong ordering that. Needless to say, I wasn't impressed :( I had half of my brunch, and just couldn't bring myself to finish it. My friend ordered the lemon ricotta pancakes, and those were just okay too. We also had some mimosa's which were pretty good, and a side of the house potatoes, that were also good. I'm very sad about not loving my food, but I would definitely go back and try something else!

    Bustling vibe, great for large groups. Loved our server, who was super sweet - it was our friend's bday so she comped the dessert, and wrote a happy bday note on the receipt. Love those little touches when she had a busy day but didnt forget!

    Have been here a number of times, primarily for brunch, but, a couple of times for dinner. The food is consistently good and well balanced, and presented well. Went there most recently for brunch and it seems the portions have gotten larger. We got the eggs popover with scallions and sour cream and the spinach and goat cheese omelette. Both consistently good. The jams and marmalades are excellent too.

    First stop with my beautiful bridal party to start my bachelorette weekend! The place was pretty empty when we first arrived for our 11AM reservation for party of 5 (figures) but soon became a baby/stroller central by the time our food were served. When we first entered, I was impressed by how spacious, clean, and simple yet elegantly designed/decorated it was! We were situated in a corner booth - perfect for us to throw all our coats and bags behind us. Their brunch menu was pretty extensive - lots of egg, sweets, and more lunch fare entrees to choose from - after coming back twice to check on us (too many options), we finally made our decisions. I went with the seafood Cobb salad without Bleu cheese + dressing on the side. My 4 bridal party went with smoked salmon cream cheese scramble, lobster roll, chorizo omelette, and parfait with a side of sausage. Even though my salad was huge - loaded with fresh avocado, bacon bits, scrambled egg, crab meat, lobster, and shrimp - the lemony dressing was light and refreshing - i didn't feel like it was worth the $25 dollar price tag. It was a good salad but not THAT good. Honestly, Nothing to write about or anything I would ever crave. My MOH's smoked salmon cream cheese scramble - the salmon was really dry and salty - to a point she barely touched her dish. The side corn muffin was also really stale? Which left us to think it was from previous morning. Didn't try the rest of the dishes but everyone seemed to enjoy her own. I can see why it's such a popular destination of weekend brunch especially for families (menu options for everyone, lots of seatings for big group). Overall, food was tasty (for the most part), service was standard, price was fair - however there's just nothing amazing to draw me to revisit Sarabeth's or any other of its location with my remaining time in the city.

    I had a satisfying meal at Sarabeth's, but not amazing. The restaurant is cute and pretty, perfect for Sunday brunch with the girls. It's a pretty large space for NYC, so plenty of seating. The server wasn't the greatest, kind of seemed annoyed with us the whole time (or maybe he was just overwhelmed during Sunday brunch). The food was good. I was really excited to try the almond french toast after all the great reviews, but it wasn't as amazing as I built it up in my head. My friend got an egg popover and she was very pleased with her. The mimosas were pretty damn good, so that's a big plus! As I said, Sarabeth's is a great place to go with the girls for brunch...so I would definitely go back.

    2.5 Stars is what I'll rate my experience and thoughts on the food I had at the infamous Sarahbeth's. I was really really disappointed with our brunch last week. I was able to easily make an 11:45am reservation on Open Table but arrived at 11am. There were four people corralled at the hostess desk so I said, "hi," to all of them because they all looked at me when I approached them. It was confusing whom I was supposed to inform about my reservation but decided the lady in front of the monitor at the hostess stand (even though she didn't greet me). Actually none of them did greeted me or welcomed me to the establishment. Greetings aside, we were quickly seated after, "the hostess," informed the person on her right our table seating. We were grateful to be seated early but ended with a table right by the WC (that's water closet or as we'd usually say, the toilets). For such a large establishment and the frequency a table of four us used for two, this area really shouldn't be used for customers seating at all. I would suggest either leaving this area empty, replaced by a couch for WC waiting area or simply a waiter service stand. We felt awful being seated here even thought there were other tables available and furthered the lack of hospitality we felt. While our waitress and buss boy was adequate the meals we had were disappointing, mediocre, plated really sloppy and not worth the money spent. My husband ordered the lumberjack. He's usually not picky about food but he didn't think the value, execution or quality was any better than our local diner - that's bad coming from him. My Lobster Ragu Special was ok. The greens were greens. The polenta cake was the best on the plate, nicely seared and creamy. The fried egg, you got it, just fried egg. The piece de resistance, the lobster was ill prepared and overly spiced with Creole/Southern seasoning or what resembled Chinese XO Sauce which totally took away the flavor of the lobster (i.e. I was left with the texture of lobster but not the sweetness). This made me believe the lobster was probably not the freshest, otherwise, why mask the natural flavor in such a strong Ragu sauce. Angry. Luckily we were able to get our check quickly and skip out of this place without anymore regrets.

    Just not a good visit. Slow service, bland food and dirty overall feel. We ordered the guacamole and chips as a starter. The chips were fine but needed salt. The guacamole needed to be seasoned. The frittata was just plain bad. Undercooked, very bland and hardly any chorizo and peppers. Finally, the lobster roll was just ok too. Definitely not worth $28. Again, under seasoned and an odd sweet taste to it we couldn't put our finger on. Oh, and the Bloody Mary needed seasoning as well... only thing the drink had going for it was tons of horseradish. On a positive note, the Campari and soda was fine, lol.. Overall just a bad experience. Tons of screaming children at brunch time which would be tolerable if the food was up to snuff. Disappointed.

    Sarabeth's Tribeca is textbook brunch. We're talking about a large space, high ceilings, bright lights, outdoor seating, friendly staff, and comforting food. Come here on a sunny day with a light breeze, sit outside, grab a drink, watch the trees sway, and it's heaven. There are quite a few choices on the menu, so it never gets dull. But, my go-to brunch dish is always a salmon benedict, and it does not disappoint here. Good clean cured salmon with shapely poached eggs, creamy hollandaise sauce, and a refreshing salad on the side. Yum! Another winner is the almond french toast. It's nutty, crisp on the outside, and soft on the inside. Drizzle some syrup and go to town. If you're looking for good brunch, look no further. The food is yummy, the portions are good, and the atmosphere is almost ethereal. I dream of taking a nap now.

    Party of two for Brunch We were seated quickly. Drinks were served without any delay and the food came in record time!! If you want a quick sit down meal this is a great spot. They don't mind if you linger and sip your tea either. The food was good. The eggs Benedict where a little mores solid then what my husband is used to. My popover with scrambled eggs chives and cream cheese was phenomenal. The pricing was high but there are ways to keep your bill down some. First skip fancy drinks and stick to water, tea, or coffee. Second skip the breakfast meat, they are 8-9 dollars extra. The atmosphere was good. A little loud but it was also a very full restaurant. Seating was comfortable. My biggest complaint was that our table rocked significantly. Highly recommended.

    Two of us dined here for brunch. This is a very, very expensive place to get brunch, though the food was quite good. Be mindful, though, that: (1) the tables are uncomfortably close together; (2) the bathrooms are vile and there is always a line (think gas station); and (3) there are televisions in here (playing sports) and the diners are also loud. We ordered: classic Eggs Benedict ($18.50, ham); Salmon Benedict ($19); and home fries ($7.50) to share. Also got a White Peach Bellini ($13), which was mediocre, and which our neighbor left similarly untouched. Service was passably attentive, but nowhere close to stellar. Overall, for these prices, we expected more.

    Great location for finding parking if you're driving. The atmosphere is by far the perfect little chic city lifestyle I'm absolutely in LOVE with! The boyfriend and I were trying to make it to brunch so we pushed our reservation to dinner and were NOT disappointed. Service: The service was pretty decent, bread was given quickly( amazing amazing amazing bread ) and all condiments/drinks we additionally requested were given to us shortly as well. Food: The shrimp & lobster fritata was so delicious and stuffing. We also had the crispy calamari and i personally loved the garlic aioli sauce. FRENCH FRIES ARE AN ABSOLUTE YES!!!!! Didn't have time to try desert but cannot wait for brunch next week!

    Perfect place for a classy brunch. I had my mother and grandmother visiting from out of town, and I was looking for brunch in the area that had a little bit more space for grandma, but still had a warm atmosphere. This is the place. They accommodated my request for a 11:30am reservation, when I only called at 8pm the night before. I was pretty impressed since this is typically a very very booked up place. I got the Salmon Eggs Benedict, which was EXCELLENT. Extensive brunch menu, which is typically a rare find. Everyone will find something that they like on this list. My only complaint--- because the restaurant is bigger than some of these cozier breakfast spots in Manhattan, the acoustics can be somewhat poor with a larger brunch crowd. The waiter was extremely friendly, but did not speak very clearly, or loud enough to compensate for all the noise in the background. I essentially translated the whole time to my grandmother (who understandably had trouble in the background noise), but even I had a very very difficult time hearing him since he spoke so low. Otherwise, it was a perfect experience!

    Inside Sarabeth's Tribeca location is very pleasant and attractive. It's spacious and comfortable too. Our waiter was as nice as can be, but I just can't rave about their food, though. It was actually underwhelming, at least what I had. My daughter ordered a pumpkin waffle and seemed happy with her selection. I ordered the chorizo and red pepper frittata, along with a side of home fries and a pumpkin muffin w/ their homemade apricot jam. The muffin w/jam was quite good. I enjoyed that, and they clearly know how to make muffins and good jam. However, the frittata was completely uninspired, and I had trouble seeing the pieces of chorizo and red pepper, let alone tasting them. Chorizo is notably spicy, and here, it had no flavor. They were cut into microscopic pieces at that. I barely tasted anything. I was not a fan. The home fries weren't bad, but I've had better. It wasn't a bad restaurant; I just wanted it to be so much more. I'm sorry, Sarabeth.

    Oh oh oh, the prettiest salmon eggs benedict I have ever seen! Spacious inside, very chic decor, definitely a great place for brunch. My friend and I made reservations for Saturday brunch, very simple online to make and we were seated quite easily. We tried two muffins - banana and pumpkin. The muffins are a little on the drier side, however they were flavorful and the jam and butter that is provided help bring some moisture. My friend ordered the regular eggs benedict and I opted for the salmon eggs benedict. Both were great! Each came with a salad where the dressing was just right (light, with a little creamy consistency). The eggs were poached so that the yolks would run over the salmon (in her case, ham? Or was it canadian bacon?). The muffins are more like actual muffins instead of what you'd think of an english muffin that you'd buy in a grocery store. I'm not sure how much I enjoyed the muffin, they were too tall and a little difficult to eat. But overall, I loved loved loved the dish, the salmon was so good! Cappucino /Lattes were good also! Decor is nice, the booth seats have sort of a classy/chic lounge feel. Definitely perfect for a date with friends or significant other.

    This is a super cute restaurant, very feminine decor. My friend mentioned that she heard about this place because Taylor Swift was spotted here before! Upon walking in, I was surprised to see how large the seating area was, laid out like the lobby of a hotel. Service was great, and food was okay. My friends and I ordered the pancakes, almond french toast, fluffy french toast, chicken and waffles, and salmon eggs benedict. The food was all in all 'okay', but nothing mind blowing. It all tasted like a casual home made breakfast with basic ingredients, but definitely not worth the $20 or so per dish that we were charged. This is a nice place to go if you weren't been able to score a coveted reservation at the myriads of other delicious Sunday brunch choices in the city.

    Sarabeth's .. one of the more well-known & popular brunch spots in the city. I've been wanting to pay Sarabeth's a visit as I've heard great things and was finally able to do so with a few friends on a Saturday morning. We had 11.30 reservations and were seated right away as we checked in. The place was huge - quite roomy and already bustling with families and friends getting their eats on. We were seated in the middle dining room and ordered a number of different items from the menu ranging from buttermilk pancakes to omelettes and scrambled eggs. Their seasonal drinks were pretty good and a nice way to start our meal - the warm apple cider was delish and the mimosa was plenty! I ordered the Popeye Scrambled Eggs (see photo) which were pretty good but nothing AMAZING. The dish was served with a mountain high pile of scrambled eggs which were buttery and smooth - though I'm not used to having my eggs cooked in butter and was served on top a bed of spinach and ham on a warm buttered biscuit. Though I didn't try the buttermilk pancakes or the omelettes my friends ordered, it looked pretty plain and didn't appear to stand out in any way. The food & service were both good but nothing to write home about. I really wanted to LOVE this place but perhaps next time I'll order something a little more unique and go from there...

    I went here on a beautiful Saturday afternoon in March with three others, and while we had to wait 10 or so minutes for a table, it was well worth it. While we could still technically order brunch, I couldn't resist the Jack-o-Lantern pizza, and it didn't disappoint with pumpkin, candied pecans, and roasted Brussels sprouts. And, their house-made chips and guacamole appetizer is absolutely amazing! Service was great and attentive. The only downer to this restaurant is that when it's crowded, which I take it is often, it's super loud and hard to hold a conversation. But, by surveying everyone at our table, we agreed the food is excellent.

    Recently came here for brunch with my family whilst in the USA and it was a great experience, I only wish I had a bigger stomach so I could choose more from their amazing menu and gigantic portions. They served great tea and I had the french toast which was fantastic. Only downside was having to queue a while to use the bathroom, but that is just testament to how busy / popular they are! The waitress was attentive and polite and we all had a great experience there, and next time I'm in NYC I would definitely go back!

    Yuck. My first visit to Sarabeth's Tribeca was about a year ago. I was attending a work event that reserved a private area for a buffet luncheon. I found the food to be average, but immediately stopped eating as soon as I realized the jumbo shrimp was completely gray inside... as in raw. Unfortunately I had already eaten several bites, so I did end up feeling sick afterward, but luckily I didn't require medical attention, which I would have had I eaten a substantial amount, as eating uncooked shrimp is extremely dangerous. A year later, I seemed to have put the experience behind me. While out and about with my husband and daughter in the area, we decided to stop for lunch/brunch, and decided to not order something that could potentially be undercooked. Perhaps, I thought, that was a unique instance. We stupidly didn't just go absolutely anywhere else. Since we arrived at 3:04, and Late Lunch begins at 3pm, we were not permitted to order from the brunch menu that we watched be served to patrons for the next hour. The Late Lunch menu is totally underwhelming. I ordered a Caesar salad, and for $18, you might think that you'd get a little dressing or something more thoughtful than four 8" long stalks of uncut romaine lettuce. Although it wasn't busy, we were sat beside a noisy kitchen, where staff slammed into our table between yelling with each other as they zoomed by, nearly knocking over hot coffee on my infant daughter. A busboy spontaneously snatched away our sugar tray as we had our coffee, and getting someone to bring the food we ordered (and ordering to begin with was challenging enough) was unreasonably difficult. We couldn't even leave in a reasonable amount of time because getting our check proved impossible, as did getting them to process and return our credit card. Water refill? Forget about it. Nobody cares what you want or if you end up getting what you ordered. Service is nonexistent at Sarabeth's, and the food is at best bland and at worst dangerous. Tribeca has plenty of restaurants- Skip Sarabeth's unless you're a glutton for punishment.

    I give a two star because the food was okay. But the service was not good. The waiter dropped something when he was serving the customers next to us. We couldn't find anything when we were in the restaurant. It turned out to be a used fork and he dropped it into my bf's pocket!!! So disgusting !!! Additionally, because the restaurant is very big, it took very long time to get served. After we got our food, it became hard to find our waiter. We waited at least 15 mins to get our check.

    Deeeelish!!! We came for Sunday brunch and there was a super long line.. Somehow we got lucky and got seats at the bar. Keishla was our bartender and she was awesome!! The drinks were fantastic!! I had the steak and poached eggs hash. The eggs were perfectly poached and every bite was better than the previous. We also ordered the almond French toast. The French toast was covered with crispy almonds, the bread was a delicious brioche, and the center was a perfect fluffy eggy texture. The strawberry syrup I swear was candy!! Yumm yumm yummy!!

  • Former Restaurant Critic C.

    Awful, to the point that it made me angry. And, before I say anything else, let me say that I observed all of the staff, all of the plates of food that passed me, and all the other tables... all [awful] roads lead to the manager. My wife and I went in for a late lunch/brunch. We also had our one year old baby with us, who was asleep. I was holding her. It was a little after 3 PM. Not at all crowded in this very large restaurant. Yet, for some reason, we were seated at the table next to the kitchen entrance/exit. We were given a rather short lunch menu. However, we saw plates with brunch food passing us, so we asked for the brunch menu. We were told no. I did not see anything that thrilled me so I just ordered a cup of coffee and my wife- who also was not impressed with the menu, but starving- ordered a salad with extra dressing on the side. Moments after we placed our order we saw another diner's French Fries. They looked good. We wanted to add an order of Fries to our order, however, we could not find our waiter. Finally, we asked the person who poured my coffee. The coffee... I was not asked if I wanted cream or milk or skim milk. They just brought me a little carafe with whole milk in it. Fine. I would have preferred skim, but- whatever. Not a big deal. A few minutes later, my wife's salad was served. No extra dressing on the side. No French Fries. And no waiter. We could not find him. Though the restaurant was not that busy, there were a lot of staff members rushing back and forth. They just didn't really seem to be doing anything. Actually- allow me to correct myself. They were doing a lot of socializing with each other. Loudly. As I looked for our waiter- or anyone- whom I could ask to bring the Fries and the extra dressing, my wife- famished- started to eat. While my wife was eating, and I was holding a sleeping baby, and there was HOT COFFEE on the table, a waitress quickly threw a stack of plates and silverware at a busboy right next to our table. As he spun around to bring them back into the kitchen, he banged into our table with his hip quite hard. No apology or acknowledgement of any kind. I finally got the attention of one of the hostesses and asked for the extra dressing and fries. For some reason, just after this happened, a busboy came to our table and took the little dish of coffee sweeteners. This is relevant, because when my coffee cup was refilled, I didn't have any sweetener to use. The fries and extra dressing eventually came. The fries were good. The salad was really nothing special. It was the same salad we could have gotten virtually anywhere. Maybe another place might have refilled our water. When my wife was done eating, once again, we could not find our waiter to get our check so we could leave. And then, when he finally brought the check, he never returned to take it with our credit card. After waiting longer than we should have, I caught the manager and asked him to take it. I should also mention that the entire time we were there, there was a line of people waiting to use the bathroom(s). The line extended into the dining area. As I said at the beginning, I put the blame solely on the manager. He should know how to train and supervise his team. We will never go back. This restaurant's location is in a busy part of TriBeCa with many other dining options. I'd advise anyone to explore those options rather than eat here.

    "Sarabeths was such a treat. Even though it was super busy, the service was great. We had the eggs Benedict & the amazing lemon ricotta pancakes. Will definitely be back!"

    The restaurant is beautiful but honestly the food is seriously lacking. Went here for brunch with friends and only one of us (out of 6) really liked what we ordered. It wasn't terrible, it just wasn't worth the calories or the money. We ordered the muffin basket and the muffins were all pretty dry. The scone was good though. I got the chorizo and sweet pepper frittata with manchego, which sounds amazing, but it was lackluster. Very small and bland, and $15. NOT worth it. Almond-crusted french toast was decent, but again not amazing. Corn chowder special tasted like the water that remains after boiling corn on the cob. Steak hash and eggs for $18.50 had 3 slivers of "steak." This was probably the worst out of all of them. The coconut waffle was good according to my friend, but I didn't have the chance to try it personally. The rest of us were sorely disappointed. Others have complained about the service here, but we didn't have that problem thankfully.

    Why is there always a line on the sidewalk here for brunch on the weekends? Luckily I came for lunch in the middle of the week and the massive restaurant was pretty much empty so I didn't have to waste time waiting for a pretty mediocre meal. Not really seeing many good starters, we asked to start with the Basket of Muffins ($12 for 5). They were all pretty dry and not very tasty. The one exception was the Pumpkin one, which was actually moist and had some flavor. For one of the entrees, we got the Buttermilk Pancakes ($15 for 5). I guess they're supposed to have amazing pancakes here, but I didn't really understand what all the fuss was about. They tasted pretty one note to me. I prefer my pancakes stuffed full of a ton of stuff and with some more flavor, like the blueberry or banana-walnut beauties at Clinton St. Baking Company. We also got the Scrambled Eggs Stuffed Popover ($15), which were shockingly disappointing. The eggs contained scallions and cream cheese, but had way way too much of the latter, to the point of the eggs tasting more like cream than eggs. Gross. To go with the two entrees, we got the Chicken and Apple Sausage ($7.50 for 2), which were probably the best bite of the meal. They added some much needed flavor to go with the pancakes. Service was pretty lazy, so I would hate to see how long we would have needed to wait to get some service if it was anywhere near as crowded as it gets on the weekend. The food here is decent enough, but not really worth the price and any wait there might be.

    If you go here, definitely get Danielle as your waitress! She's amazing!! The brunch here is incredible. Get the crab cakes and the basket of muffins! Holy cow, you will never go any place else for brunch ever again!!!!

    What I ate and enjoyed } Goldie Lox was a light and delicious medley of salmon, cream cheese and eggs. Straight forward & good. Why 3 stars? Menu discrepancies } I was a little confused because the simplified (and cheaper) menu that was available for breakfast onsite differed from what was online. Main difference being that you won't get your choice of bread with your entree - just multi grain or sourdough :( Limited Space } There's VERY limited seating at this location, like 4 tables. But, we made the most of it by sitting in the hallway so we could watch the chelsea market crowd lol. Our server was very helpful and sweet!

    Sarabeth's is adorable. I came here for a lunch with two friends who were visiting from out of town. Back then, the weather was beautiful and there was no fear of freezing or slipping, a luxury that feels far, far away now that the winter season is back. The inside is cozy, and the ceilings are high--the color scheme is light, neutral colors. Mostly white, which makes the whole place feel brighter. Perhaps that was the effect of it being the middle of a summer day. A light that mimicked sunlight filled the dining area where we sat, which was big enough to drown out the voices of tables nearby. We sat by the wall of mirrors, which adds to the feeling of spaciousness, and offered great lighting for pictures to commemorate the occasion. One of the most enticing things on Sarabeth's menu is their Farmer's Omelette--$15 for an omelette with leeks, ham, potato, and gruyere (one of the best cheeses one can put on food). I was torn between that and the Goldie Lox, which also sounded great, but ultimately decided I didn't really want scrambled eggs AND smoked salmon. They have a good selection of sweet breakfast as well, as my friend got the fluffy French Toast. They allow you to choose a muffin with your omelette/egg entrée. The waitress came by with a basket of warm breakfast carbs that almost made me drool. They smell fresh-baked, emulating that sweet scent of flour and sugar. I ultimately chose a Berry Corn muffin, and I did not regret it. You can also choose regular corn, bran, banana, a scone, or toast and jam ("preserves" if you're following their fanciness). When my omelette arrived, I eagerly dove in. the potatos were cooked well, and went great with the ham and leeks. Of course, leek is a fairly powerful flavor, so that was what I tasted most of, but they were mellowed out by the starch. I don't normally like cheese in my omelettes (I think eggs and cheese outside of a breakfast sandwich is kind of weird in terms of texture), but I couldn't turn down gruyere. I was pleasantly surprised and happy to say that it was a great dish. The fluffy French Toast lived up to its name--the bite that I tried was great, the kind of sweet that gets your salivary glands going. At $16, it was also worth the money. I know that Sarabeth's also does dinner, so I would be happy to come back for a meal other than lunch and see how it goes. But for a breakfast/brunch place, it felt upscale without being too stuffy, and offered quality eats in a clean, comforting atmosphere.

    Went for Sunday brunch with the family. Good atmosphere and very busy, and for some reason no wait for us. It almost feels a bit like Balthazars but not as upscale more relaxed? I had the dried chicken and waffles, which is two pieces of chicken nicely battered and moist and four triangle waffles and a little bit of greens. I asked for syrup. My wife had the preached eggs with beef hash. Coffee was OK, nothing special or unique. One of the eggs was soft/gel-lie not quite cooked. The kids had the pancakes which were straight forward and the older one had a few strawberries added as he had the adult sized order. Overall: - nice ambience and place to gather and enjoy - food was OK and cooked as expected, but nothing special or did not have a "wow, try this" - value for price was a bit higher by a few dollars for brunch vs nearby competition so you are paying for service and ambience

    One of the best after work happy hours in the area. Interesting cocktail menu and good bar snacks. Dinner isn't that great and the menu is uninspiring. I guess Brunch is their sweet spot (never been). Nice al fresco dining area too.

    Sarabeth's is my favorite restaurant in NYC for brunch. I have been to every Sarabeth's, and I love the Tribeca location. This has been a favorite spot of my cousins for several years now and we often go every weekend for brunch, since it is so close to her apartment. The menus at all locations are consistent, however I find the Tribeca location to be the least crowded and provide the best service. Tribeca in general is a very kid friendly neighborhood and this extends to Sarabeth's as well! I've never had it my baby cousin loves the French toast which looks amazing, however they have healthy homemade omelettes to die for. I've recommended Sarabeth's Tribeca to many friends and family members who have since enjoyed it very much.

    This place has a standard brunch. Nothing special, not bad but not great either. Drinks are ok, the server was ok and the food was ok. We mostly came here cause it accomidates strollers and my friends recently had kids. Oh, I got the steak and eggs and it's more of a chopped steak hash with eggs over it.

  • H K.

    I'm surprised at the mixed reviews. I came here on a Saturday at noon. We were a decent sized group 7 - 8 of us. The restaurant is very bright and spacious with high ceilings. It was busy and a little loud - lots of families with their kids and other big groups. The food was very fresh and well prepared. Nothing over the top, but when I looked at everyone's dishes, it looked fresh and didn't appear greasy or overcooked. Everyone enjoyed their entrees I tasted my friend's almond french toast and it was very good - not overly sweet - just right - and I don't even like french toast! Their apple chicken sausages were yummy - not salty at all and just a right amount of sweetness. The service is good. Try the pink sangria - not too sweet and just the right amount of tartness. This is a great place to go if you're planning on catching up with a group of friends or family.

    Sarabeth's exceeded my expectations. I went into the place thinking ok this is probably a bit overrated and overpriced, which maybe it is overall, but I enjoyed myself. Also the place is massive. Speaking of massive, I got a very large omelette which I had no chance of finishing, but that didn't stop me from trying. The omelette seemed like it had scrambled eggs inside in addition to the cheese, bacon, potatoes and scallions. This worked well as it led to a fluffier omelette than most.

    "Best Brunch in NYC" says most reviews. I can't say I really agree. 3 stars for the pancakes, otherwise 2. I came here with a friend for brunch on Saturday at around 10:45am. It wasn't too crowded when we arrived but quickly filled up. We had a reservation, which I think was unnecessary for that hour but highly recommended for later on in the day. We were seated right away to a table in the back of the restaurant. We were promptly offered coffee before we had even looked at the menu. The waiter came back after a few minutes to take our order but my friend and I were so engrossed in conversation we hadn't made a decision yet. He gave us ample time to look at the menu without feeling rushed, which was appreciated. Food: Lemon and Ricotta Pancakes [$16.50]: They were quite delicious! They were big and fluffy and I could taste the lemon and feel the ricotta infused into the batter. The portion is huge and served with maple syrup and a pat of butter [I need more than a pat of butter for like 5 huge pancakes...just saying..]. The blackberries didn't add anything to the dish but they were fresh. Apple and Chicken Breakfast Sausage [$8]: First of all, $8 for two measly sausages? Are you kidding me? Secondly, they were nothing special. The apple preserves they were served on were tasty and while the saltiness of the sausage paired well with the preserves, they were a disappointment. I've had better sausage from the supermarket. Drinks: Bellini [$13] which came in a wine glass rather than a champagne flute. I think it was pear flavored. Like the breakfast sausage, it was nothing special. I've had better bellinis and for cheaper. Overall, this place was overrated. It took forever for our food to come and when it did, it was lukewarm. The bill was $45pp including tip. So not worth it. Needless to say, I was not impressed. I don't do brunch, and this is why.

  • Sharon O.

    The food is considerably good. But in this vast restaurant, which is mostly empty every time I visit, they consistently seat me next to the table with jumping children. Consistently. With dozens, I repeat dozens, of empty tables, why seat someone at that table? I will never tip well until I'm given the seat away from that brood. Never.

    (3)

  • NY G.

    The food is really good. If I were rating just for sit down lunch or dinner service I would give four stars. If you want just bar service, this is where I take away a star. There seems to be only one bartender there on any given weeknight which is ridiculous as the local professional crowd like to come here for a quick after work drink. Once I left after waiting 15 minutes for the bartender to even acknowledge us, and the bar was not that crowded. They need to add an extra bartender to handle the after work crowd or else they are going to lose business.

    I love brunch at Sarabeth's whenever I'm in New York. I had previously been going to the uptown location. It is much better than this location. I just don't like the atmosphere of this location for some reason. Don't be scared away entirely though. The food is pretty great. I just prefer the ambiance of the other location.

    3.5 stars...The space is Americana meets TRIBECCA-.the old Bazzini's has been transformed to an Americana haven of goodness. Unlike some Yelpers our service was super friendly and efficient. Love the bathrooms where the light goes on upon entering. Foodwise: Breafast on Sunday.: Donuts French toast Buttermilk pancakes Side order of applewood smoked bacon Hot chocolate The winner was the hot chocolate, suprisingly rich and dark. French toast was serviceable as were the pancakes- not dark as ordered but premade and average at best. While the donut had the lovely Sarabeths jam inside it was not as good as the Bowery diner's donuts. Overall, the experience of dining here trumps the food!

    Came here over a month ago while a friend was visiting and we ate until we were completely stuffed. I ordered the Lemon Ricotta pancakes and they were quite tasty. The hint of lemon and ricotta gave the pancakes a sweet twist. There are 5 pancakes served in the order so I would suggest sharing. My friend and I also decided to order the crab sandwich and fries. The crab cake had huge pieces of fresh crab and seasoned well, very good. The french fries were light and crispy not heavy and greasy, and the fresh greens served were drizzled in yummy dressing. My friend ordered the Almond Crusted French Toast and it didn't taste that great. Didn't have any true flavor. The ambiance of the restaurant was spacious, open, and homey. There was sunlight pouring in from every direction. The wait staff was friendly and attentive. The food is moderate to spendy. I enjoyed the experience and would be back.

    The place is huge and I almost could not find the bathroom. The menu is extensive and had lots of options. I went to brunch on a Saturday and it was so crowded. The food was average, noting to rave about. The wait staff weren't very nice and not helpful. I didn't feel welcomed.

    Good for reservations for a large group or if you have children. Not good for a quiet, romantic, relaxing brunch to ease you into your weekend. Avoid at all costs if you have a hangover - it is loud and bright. The food is grenerally quite good - but pricey. I've had the pancakes before and they were smashing. This time I had the Goldie Lox with a pumpkin muffin and a side of the pork sausage. The sausage was really good - served with an apricot preserve that worked really well. The home fries had a slight taste of "stale oil" - like they had been left to cool in oil and then reheated in a microwave - I'd avoid ordering those. Service was a little haphazard - we ordered a side of scrambled eggs that never materialised and the table next to us had to use our milk after asking several times for milk for their coffee. The seem a little run off their feet.

    My daughter was flying in from Miami and wanted to go to Sarabeths. We went straight from the airport and we were seated right away. Loved this location because the restaurant wasn't as cramped as the upper west side. We ordered the pancakes, the steak sandwich, the chicken salad, the creamy tomato soup, the French toast and the graniola with fruit and yogurt. Everything was very tasty. The cream of tomato soup is one of our favorites. I was pleasantly surprised I liked the granola with fruit and yogurt. The crunchy and creamy texture combined with the fresh fruit was refreshing. The steak sandwich looked amazing and my husband did not leave a bite. The noise level was comfortable, and we could really enjoy our conversation. Our waiter was on cue, very friendly and attentive. Although it may seem like a touristy feel, it still is one of our favorites, and there is still plenty on the menu to explore. We will be back.

    Almond Crusted French Toast does not dissapoint ! I was there this Sunday for Brunch and specifically to try the French toast which came highly recommended. It was very delicious and filling , for as hungry as I was and as tasty as it was I could not finish all of it. It was one of the best French Toast experiences I have had to date. I also had the chicken apple sausage which was pretty good as well .The coffee was nice and strong and I was sick so I opted not to drink alcohol otherwise I would have tried their Bellini. The place was super packed and mind you this was with an opentable reservation , they seated us fairly quickly. The place does get loud and lively so if you are there on a date , it is a little hard to conversate. The set up and design is nice and so I definitely found myself wanting to come back in the Spring / Summer ...for some outdoor seating.

    I was here in the late summer/early fall. This one star is for a specific appetizer - scallop on green with strawberry sauce. Note the singular nouns. I ordered it thinking it was a variation of all the grilled scallops I saw on the website. But it looked nothing like any of the pictures. Not even close. It was probably one or two scallops sliced thinly along the side three times each. Not cooked. Sitting in probably one minced strawberry with couple of pieces of micro-greens. It looked as terrible as its description sounded, tasted bland - even the strawberry, and costed around $12. The dish did not make any sense. The scallop and the strawberry did not mix. I don't even think they ever would. How did a dish like that ever get on any menu?

    Only 6 blocks from the Freedom Tower, Sarabeth's Tribeca was a much needed Brunch spot after completing the Tunnel to Tower 5K. My family of 6 was HUNGRY and everyone left very satisfied. The ambiance is grand, the food portions are large and the quality of breakfast food was excellent. The price is what you would expect-High. Loved the farmers omelette and the signature bloody mary washed it down perfectly. Special shout out to the almond french toast made with Jewish challah bread. The best!

    This location is very large but the front waiting area is very small. Therefore, right when walking in, there was a large crowd in the front and it was a bit taxing to get to the front. Good thing we made reservations; otherwise we would have been waiting for a while. Really great service here. One thing to note is that the bathrooms are unmarked. They are two sets of doors that look like closets. I got the Farmers Omelette and my friend got the Chorizo Frittata. My omelette was pretty good but not spectacular. Both dishes came with our choice of muffin so I got the pumpkin muffin, which came with a great marmalade on the side. Their portions were a bit smaller compared to other brunch places so ideally I would have wanted to split a french toast but by the time I realized it, I was in a rush to get some where. Oh well next time!

    Who is the interior designer for Sarabeth's? Can she/he design my apartment?! Beautiful interior filled with neutral colors and lots of light wood. During the day time, the large windows let in a lot of sunlight - feels like you're eating outside (which is also an option during warmer months). For a restaurant that has been featured on Sex in the City (albeit the UWS location), this place is not crowded and is actually kind of classy. At night there is usually an orchestra trio playing jazz or modern classical music - really cool and unusual in TriBeCa. The happy hours specials were pretty good and the service was attentive. However, the reason this place is getting 3/5 stars is because of the atrocious manager. We were here on a weeknight around 7:00pm - the manager came over to our table and scolded us for sitting down because apparently you are only allowed to sit down if you are ordering from the server. We were confused - the host has seated us here and only two other tables were occupied. I truly feel bad for the unfortunate employees under her supervision.

    Stroller park city, boy was I overwhelmed even prior to walking into the restaurant. There were about a dozen strollers lined up outside of the ramp leading inside... definitely strikes me as a family friend place, but that did not prepare me for the mayhem inside. WOW. It was like a Saturday Gymboree birthday party, kids and large families everywhere. The hostesses seemed overwhelmed as did the waiters navigating around high chairs/ baby seats. I can appreciate a little organized chaos from to time to time, but I was not prepared and highly recommend not going there hungover, not fun. Other than that the experience was Meh. Nothing was memorable to me, the waiter service was okay, a little slow and felt abandoned when looking for more water/ the check. I should've gone with the waiter's recommendation of the lemon ricotta pancakes, but in an attempt to be healthy I went with the Popeye eggs sans ham... booooorrrrrinnnggg... nothing like my diner eggs down the street fr $4.99 that are scrumptious, these were totally under seasoned, I had to really add the pepper and salt to get any modicum of flavor out of them. Very forgetful brunch and I left unsatisfied. If it weren't for the large group brunch, I probably could've gone my whole NYC existence with avoiding the Sarabeths Sunday experience.

    Shocking on a Sunday to have only a 20 minute wait, the four of us all ordered something different and everyone loved their brunch food. Perfect omelets, delicious pumpkin muffins- of course you have to have the homemade jam - I love the orange marmalade which is delicious & not too sweet. My friends truly enjoyed their iced coffees & had a second. If you like Bloody Mary's they're rather tasty. Our waitress was kind, always smiled & attentive - impressive considering it was a busy Sunday. If you arrive before 12 you probably won't have more than 20-30 min wait. Good size bar where you can eat too if you're a party of 2 & don't mind it. If you've never tried it, it's a NYC experience for brunch.

  • STEPHANIE B.

    Reading some of the reviews - seems i'm not the only one with such terrible experience. It seems that Sarabeth has been stiffing their customers at this location and they need a new chef. This restaurant is in Tribeca - and the people that go for brunch are locals. I'm appalled by them and have decided to write this review. I took my father as he's visiting me from out of town to Sunday brunch to Sarabeth! We each ordered their special brunch - me: Eggs Benedict, him: Scrambled eggs. The MENU clearly said that it included muffin/preserve. So, I asked the waiter to bring our bread in advance while the food was getting ready. He brought us each one muffin and two small samples - which I was OK with. But then my eggs Benedict arrived but without the base muffin !!! I asked the waiter why my muffin (which is the eggs are placed on) is missing and he said that the MENU is misleading and the muffin isn't included in my order !!!!!! So, Sarabeth decided to bring my Eggs Benedict without a muffin !!! But I told him that the menu says we are entitled to bread and preserve and he said I had to order a breadbasket for $14 if I wanted it! I don't think I was asking anything out of the ordinary. Plus Le Pain Quotidian has complimentary jars of jam ! Yes, one has to pay for extra bread, but none the less, if the meal comes with bread you just have it with some jam! What is the big deal that they would do such a stupid thing to a customer ! I'm appalled and offended. I would have ordered a $14 basket or nothing, but for the restaurant to offend their customer so badly is unacceptable. Of course, after living in NYC and always tipping over 25% - this was the first time in my life that I left only 15% !!! Sarabeth should be ashamed of themselves. Either change their menu to go open their restaurant elsewhere. ALSO - the Acoustic there is awesome ! The echo is so loud that you can't hear the other people speaking !!!!!!! Not sure why I'm giving it one star - because it doesn't deserve any stars at all !

    Funny, walked past this place a 100 times, never been in. Now I am wondering why we haven't been sooner. So, the thing is, its massive, the place. This is not where you go for an intimate meal. You go here because you can get a seat, the food is spot on, and the service is great. Once we pushed your way through the baby carts, the welcome was warm, we got a seat at once for mid morning brunch and were well looked after the whole time. Love love loved the almond french toast. Mmmm Mmmmm

    Sarabeth's is an amazing spot for brunch. Keywords: classy and family- friendly. The brunch menu is a mixture between traditional American and British afternoon tea style. Pancakes, variety of muffin baskets, and scones particularly caught my eyes. They were not only delicious but served in beautiful utensils. You know how one could indulge aristocracy lifestyle through one meal? Well, Sarabeth's delivers. Service was just impeccable. I am a bit intrigued and enjoyed the company of the TriBeca crowd who are well-mannered, nicely dressed, and hold great fashion sense, well matching the elegant atmosphere. It's very likely I will host some brunch event at Sarabeth's in the future. NOTE according to Wikipedia: Today, Tribeca is one of America's most fashionable and desirable neighborhoods and is known for its celebrity residents. In 2006 Forbes magazine ranked its 10013 zip code as New York City's most expensive.

    As others have mentioned, this is stroller city, for real. But it also boasts a bright, cheery atmosphere filled with energy. This is not the place for a calm, relaxing brunch, as the volume is pretty loud. I, however, liked that about Sarabeth's since it got me ready to take on a Saturday in the city. For my meal, I opted for the Goldie Lox - egg whites with lox, minus the cream cheese. The portion was huge, the eggs were perfectly cooked, and the plate was almost overflowing with lox. They certainly didn't skimp on the smoked salmon! Being that the salmon was the reason I ordered the dish in the first place, this made for one extremely pleased diner. The eggs are served with your choice of starch, and I'm never one to turn down a bran muffin so that was my pick. This might have been the best bran muffin I've had. Ever. It was buttery and soft, with a slightly crunchy top... I could have eaten a plate of those muffins and been more than satisfied. In fact, I could really go for one right now. And what's a brunch without alcoholic bevs? I ordered a bloody mary, extra spicy. Sadly, it wasn't actually that spicy - or spicy at all, really. I would've preferred a bit of a bite, but I did enjoy the pickled veggies that accompanied the drink. Overall, this is a great pick for a tasty meal in an energy-filled venue.

    Came here with the wife and our two preschool kids for a Sunday breakfast. Pleasant checkin and was able to sit outside with a great view of the Freedom Tower. Service was attentive. The farmers omelette and the spinach-egg-apple sausage-cheese combo plate was excellent. Kids had the pancakes and ate an acceptable portion of it. Portioned more for a 10 year old vs preschoolers. It was not very "busy" at 9:30 am. I'm guessing the crowds roll in around 11. Area is not as cozy as Soho. Overall very good experience and would recommend.

    This is a great spot for a breakfast meeting. The four flowers juice is delicious! Omelet was light and fluffy and the whole wheat toast was fresh baked and tasty. Colleagues had the French toast and said that was crisp and soft in the middle and very good. Definitely recommend!!

    Came here with some colleagues for lunch (but we had brunch which they serve till 3:30 pm and dessert). This is really my kind of place. American brunch food without any fusion nonsense. How can one go wrong? I had the ham eggs benedict (which come with a side salad) though others ordered the salmon eggs benedict and one had the turkey burger (looked good I must say with guacamole and chips). For dessert we ordered the hazelnut chocolate tart (which tasted like a nutella tart) which was very good and apple pie with gelato. The food here is predictable but like in a good way. Really a great place you could bring anyone though we did note that nearly the entire restaurant was all women. I'd say this place is more on the expensive side as far as brunch compared to all the small quaint brunch places like in the Village. Despite ordering brunch for lunch, dessert felt kinda mandatory anyways. I left the meal feeling sated but not in food coma. It really hit the spot and I would definitely come here again when I want American brunch food, straight-up.

    I always get sweet dishes when I come to Sarabeth's, but the other day I tried some of the savory dishes because of the lunch deal where you can get appetizer, entree and dessert for a reasonable price. The appetizer was a thick creamy tomato soup and it was scrumptious. The entree was crab with spaghetti, and the crab meat was plentiful and fresh. I very much enjoyed the savory dishes at Sarabeth's and that lunch is a great deal.

    I've always wanted to try this place for brunch and finally tried it this past weekend. Based on the decor and ambiance, I would give 4 stars just because its cute and cozy and the servers are really nice. The food was a bit unimpressive and reminded me of diner food though. I ordered the almond crusted french toast and my friend ordered the seafood cobb salad. The french toast was surprisingly light and hit the spot. However, as much as I love seafood, I didn't care for the seafood salad. The bacon was really lardy and overwhelming and so was the onion. Could barely taste the seafood after that. I also found the food quite pricey for what it was. I would try again only if I am in the neighborhood. I wouldn't make a special point to go unfortunately.

    Like most reviews, I found Sarabeth's brunch to be just ok. For the prices I would've expected the food to be out of the world, but instead I found it shrug-worthy. My chicken and waffles were fine, but not the best I've ever had; however, the spicy honey was a nice substitute for maple syrup. Unless someone was paying for my meal, I wouldn't make a bee-line for this place again. You couldn't do worse than this place, but you could certainly do better.

    We usually come here for breakfast or brunch and it's fabulous. Tried Sarabeths for dinner last week and it's awful! The hanger steak frites and mini burger sliders did not taste good, poorly cooked, and poor quality beef. I would not recommend Sarabeths for dinner. Stick to brunch!

    The waiting area is not as claustrophobic as the one in Central Park South. I actually prefer this location just because its not sooooo crowded. I had the usual lemon ricotta pancakes, as well as the basque chorizo and sweet pepper fritatta. The pancakes never fail. They are soft and fluffy, probably the best pancakes I've ever had. The fitatta was not bad either, but not that amazing. I'd love to come for lunch one day and try some of their lunch items!

    This is one of my favorite places for brunch. I do like other spots near me but the location of this Sarabeth makes it better because since it is pretty out of the way for most tourists, mostly locals dine here in the morning or for brunch. The rest of the crowd probably don't get in until noon or late noon. The dining area is spacious and you can organize bridal showers or baby showers in the back area. I highly recommend the salmon eggs benedict and their french toasts. Their pumpkin waffles were good, too. If you have the stomach space, get a side of their breakfast sausages. This place is packed by 11am so better to go their early for brunch before the crowd rushes in.

    This place was quite charming. It's a very famous brunch place in TriBeCa, attracting families, friends, and young couples. I came here with a friend a week ago, and it was pretty hard to get a reservation--so I would highly advise using OpenTable to book a time in advance unless you want to wait for over 30 minutes. The interior is quite nice and was a lot bigger than I expected. They have a variety of seating in three main rooms--at least that is what I saw. It was a bit noisy, but that seems like it's to be expected of any fairly large restaurant in the city. The service was up to par. Our waitress was very nice and always checked up on us to see how we were doing with our food and drinks. I got the seafood salad and my friend got the country omelette. Also the seafood salad sounds really apprtizing, I would advise against it, only because there are better things on the menu and the salad is pretty pricey ($25!). For brunch I would either go for eggs or pancakes. My friend's omelette looked really good and it also came with his choice of a muffin or scone or bread. He got the pumpkin muffin which was pretty yummy! I really liked the ambiance of this place, and it's something that would bring me back. I think if I came with a group of friends, I would be pretty confident that we would have good food and service in a good social atmosphere.

    My dad and I heard about this place from a coworker of his. I wanted some fancy ass breakfast like crepes or eggs benedict. This place definitely had it! Minus the crepes... But we got the fat and fluffy french toast, chicken and apple sausage, eggs benedict, and home fries. All of which were very, verrry good! I could eat here every day. The prices are a little steep (15 for 4 pieces of french toast, 7.50 for sausage), other than that, its awesome. The place is quaint, homey, clean and fresh. I loved the feel and look of it. The staff was neither here nor there. I guess its a New York thing, people arent very friendly here overall. But they did their job, coffee refills were frequent, the guy checked up on us once. So its a good place to go:]

  • Elizabeth M.

    Delicious. Yes, the lemon ricotta pancakes are friggin amazing. The best pancakes I've ever had, knocking Clinton St. Baking Company out of the water. Overpriced. Expect to pay $5+ more for your entree compared to other brunch spots in the city. Non existent service. While the hostesses were friendly and peppy, the waiter wanted us in and out ASAP. He asked if we were ready to order within 2 minutes of sitting down and then disappeared for the entirety of the meal. He never came to check up on us. He placed the bill on our table before my boyfriend even finished his plate. It's not even like the place was busy because it was 10:30am on a Monday and there were only 5-6 other tables of diners in this huge restaurant.

    This place never seems to disappoint. It is by far my favorite brunch place mainly because their hot chocolate is to die for! I have been to this location several times and the one by central park once. Tribecca is def better mainly since it is not filled with a whole bunch of tourists. We normally go to Sarabeth on Saturday/Sundays maybe once a month when we have friends/family visiting us from out of town. This location is pretty busy, but I always seem to get there before there is any wait. Service is very quick and the servers are very pleasant. My favorite dish is the Scrambled egg stuffed popover with cream cheese and scallions, SOOO GOOD. I've also had their creamy tomato soup, pancakes and the fluffy french toast which are also very good, not to mention very unhealthy, but once a month, I just love to indulge at this place! The portions are very large which are okay for the price point, so would suggest sharing if you don't eat too much like I do. If you're looking for a great place to talk with friends after a night out, this is def it!

    One of the things that Sarabeth's is known for is their apple butter. When I ordered my usual order of french toast and apple butter, the server looked at me like I was speaking in a foreign language. At first I was told they did NOT have apple butter, then I was told they did. The server returned with a small dish of apple sauce and butter MIXED together. Seriously? Additionally, we waited over 15 minutes for service and the establishment was not that busy.

    The ambiance and service is definitely of a good standard. The food is delicious and served tastefully by a very friendly server, presentations are beautiful, clean/simple yet elegant decorating, it's definitely the only "ladies place" to take your mother and/or grandmother...

  • Nic G.

    Sarabeths. I want to like you, I really do. I had to write a review of not just one visit, but multiple attempts at an enjoyable experience here since the pancakes are so good.... Alas, it isn't the food that lets this place down, it the service. Waited over 20 mins to take a drink order (we promptly ordered food at the same time for fear of not being able to flag a waiter down again). Food arrives, HAIR in soup starter. Replaced, but no apology nor offer to take anything off the bill. Want another coffee? Good luck. The bill? Sure, that'll be another 15-20. Like I said, have experienced this type of service at this location before. A shame, sine I have had great service at other Sarabeths. Oh pancakes, how I will miss you. 2 stars just for your fluffy deliciousness.

    This place is pretty big. Good for lots of hungry people who don't want to line up on a Sunday morning. Drink memu is interesting. Food is very fresh and portion is huge. The muffin basket is especially good. The only down side is that it's still slightly over priced. The five of us spent 200+ ish.

  • Catherine S.

    Hands down- maybe the best french toast I've ever had!! (And I love french toast!!) perfect mix of crisp and tender bread- not too mushy or too dry!! Just right!! Atmosphere is light and airy.... Warm and inviting! Perfect for Sunday brunch!

    We' ve been there past Saturday and it was packed (snowy day) and liked everything we ordered (guacamole & chips, pizza, cheese omlet, pan cakes, waffles, bloody marys...) I don't remember the server's ( had beard) name but he did a wonderful job. I'd go back.

  • Sandy L.

    We came here for brunch on a Saturday. Our table was not ready even though we were a couple of minutes late. The service wasn't great. It was really crowded, so that could have been a factor, but it was hard to get their attention. I ordered the Popeye's eggs and thought it was amazing. Would definitely come back for their brunch menu.

  • Jonathan P.

    I don't have a bad thing to say about Sarabeth's. The whole place has a very bright and friendly ambiance to it that just screams "Sunday Morning Brunch". I went in for lunch last Thursday and took a seat at the bar after being greeted by the very friendly hostesses and bartender. The bartender immediately told me about their $15 Prix Fixe Menu and how it was the best deal considering most items on the regular menu were already $15 a piece. I had the Market Soup for a starter and it was absolutely delicious and a very generous portion. Then came out my One Great Burger and fries; cooked to perfection, I had no complaints at all as I devoured this truly great burger. I can't really go on much more as it was a pretty quick in-and-out lunch experience. Extremely friendly and fast service, followed by an even more delicious meal. That being said, I just saw the prices for what I just got on the regular menu and there is little chance I would pay $9 for the soup I ordered and $15 for the burger, along with a soft drink. Already looking at a $30+ lunch for one person for pretty standard lunch fare.

    Unfortunately, I've come to loathe this place because I've experience terrible service on multiple occasions. It's one of those places where you see 5-7 people standing around talking but no one is coming to take your order. Each time we go back we're convinced the previous time was an anomaly and that we should give it another shot. But it continues to be bad. The last time we tried going for breakfast during the week, it wasn't busy and we left at just before the 20 minute mark of waiting (I set my iPhone timer). We left when we realized another table near us, who were there when we arrived, hadn't had their order taken yet. The time before that we asked to immediately order when we arrived, which we did, but then our food took forever to come out and it was entirely cold when we received it. Just down right odd and such a pity. I live close by and I want to love this place, and I used to. The UES location doesn't seem to have this issue, so I still recommend that spot. For the price you pay I'd strongly suggest the restaurant that serves breakfast in the Four Seasons hotel on 57th street--impeccable service there.

    I needed a place near the Financial District that would be good for lunch with an out-of-towner. When I mentioned Sarabeth's she got really excited ("I have the cookbook!") so that made the choice easy. I really wasn't expecting much from a chain establishment but my lunch experience was really...well...whelming. I was neither under- nor over-whelmed. Just pleasantly whelmed. The lunch menu consisted of all the brunchy favorites like eggs and waffles and such in addition to burgers, sandwiches, pasta, and meat dishes. Today's order was for the pumpkin waffle ($15) and an order of the crab spaghetti ($18). The dishes were tasty and nice to look at. The portions were a good size for lunch if you're not a big eater. You won't leave hungry but we were definitely members of the clean-plate club today. The The decor was bright, lofty, and very...white - literally and figuratively. Nothing offensive or particularly. Overall, just very comfortable. It was a nice place to catch up with a long lost friend but it's not somewhere I would suggest if you are looking for spectacular food. I could see myself coming back, after all, this is the Financial District.

    Good food but very pricey and I think a little overrated. Still it deserves 4 stars. Loved the classy chic country style of this restaurant and the service was really good. It is always packed on weekends for brunch so make sure to make a reservations!

  • Elisa K.

    Went here for a late Sunday brunch and the food was amazing. Only reason I can't give 5 stars is because I think we came at the end of the transition from brunch to lunch/dinner and that meant that our water glasses didn't get refilled without us getting up to go ask someone....but back to the amazing food. I had the seafood cobb salad, which was the most amazing salad I have had in a long time. The crunch of the bacon, the creaminess of the avocado and egg yolks balanced beautifully with the greens and dressing. I also got to sample the french toast which was cooked to fluffy and amazing perfection. Just a touch of syrup went a long way. Definitely will be dreaming about that salad and coming back for it again.

    Let's just say, ive been saying to try this place for the past two-three years, and who wouldn't after the hype and noticing the expansion of sarabeths all throughout manhattan?! I was very disappointed... Nice high ceilings, minimalistic look, and baby strollers all over. We ordered the eggs Benedict and the almond crusted waffle. Let's just say, for almost $20 each (sans drinks), they were nothing to brag about. Not only were they not that great, but we waited forever to get them without any complementary muffins or bread to hold us over! The service was good and the food wasn't terrible, but definitely not worth the price or wait!

  • Peace L.

    It's "sceney" and acceptably cute for a "girls" brunch but not sure it's worth the trek for the food alone. Food was quite mediocre, although I do think the dishes were plentiful. This is a popular brunch eatery therefore, in true New York fashion, expect long waits, huge crowds and a noisy interior. Also, finding decent seating with a decent amount privacy may also add to your wait time. Not sure I'd ever be back.

  • Leo K.

    Took my coworker here for Lunch because she was leaving The food was pretty good, and the service was very good as well. I ordered the One Great Burger, cooked medium, which comes with fries and guacamole and bread pudding The meal definitely hit the spot and burger craving But overall I was not wowed by the taste. Overall was pretty standard meal My friends omelette did look very good One thing that I was a huge fan of was the fact that I am biased because I love Tribeca and because I work in WFC, and there are truly not many places where you can just come in and eat a nice lunch or dinner...everything is either to bourgeois or to casual.....I will probably be coming back here soon

    Paris may be the City of Lights but New York may be the City of Restaurants. Brunch restaurants. We've been to Sarabeth's on the upper west side and loved it though we found it to be small and cramped, valiantly trying to accommodate everyone trying to get in. The food was superb, though. The Tribeca location, not more than a ten minute walk from the Rising Freedom Tower, is spacious, its new digs capturing that quasi-industrial Tribeca feel yet still remaining warm and homey. From the amazing french toast to the pumpkin waffles to the banana muffins. From the Goldie Lox (!) to the Apple cinnamon French Toast. From the Bellini to the Four-flowers Mimosa, and the OJ to the Coffee, there is not an item that fails to delight. I only wish Sarabeth could come to Boston!

    ***3.5 stars*** I stopped by here for brunch with a large party of friends. The one thing you notice about most places in Tribeca, the typical restaurant crowd is reservedly older and family-oriented. Such was the case during our Sunday brunch. We luckily had reservations because the place was packed when we arrived (1pm). The place is pretty big, and will generally hold seating for large parties. There's seating outside, and inside there's a bar and even a sectioned off area for private events. Our group just so happened to be seated near the private event room. New on their menu was their take on Chicken & waffles, and I was sold on it when our waitress informed us that that particular item was sold out by noon the previous day. I enjoyed it quite a bit. The honey had a spicy flavor to it, and the waffles included dried fruit bits typical to those found in fruitcakes. The chicken, while only limited to a wing and a thigh, had a perfect golden-brown buttermilk crisp, and the inside was nice and juicy. My friends ended up trying their Farmer's omelette and the Salmon Eggs Benedict, both of which received somewhat lackluster fanfare. A few also ordered their Bloody Mary, which comes served in a huge wine glass. Reactions to that were pretty much the same as the food, which was okay at best, but a fair amount of other patrons in the dining area seemed to enjoy it. Service was on the slower side (it took around fifteen to twenty minutes before our food arrived), but understandable given our party size and how packed the place was for Sunday brunch. It's not as noticeable when you're engaged in conversation, but it becomes apparent if you're sitting there, starving, and waiting for your food to be served. If anything though, our waitress was friendly, and our water glasses were refilled consistently fast. Overall, a decent place for brunch, albeit on the pricier side.

    After a very unpleasant brunch at Sarabeth's Tribeca, I was contacted by the owner who invited me back and assured me that I would have a better experience. Indeed I did. The service was excellent - everyone from the hostess to the waiter and managers truly went above and beyond, and the food was simply superb. The girlfriend who joined me (also one of the girls from our first visit) was genuinely impressed at the difference as well. We had a lovely time, and certainly, our first impression has been erased. The genuine concern of the owner truly offset the indifference of the previous manager, and for all of the problems with our first visit, I am willing to give the restaurant the benefit of the doubt that this is not the norm. Many thanks to them for their classy response -- I will be visiting Sarabeth's again!

  • Misty G.

    I've been here several times since it opened and it's been ok so far. First time I went, I sat outside when it was still warm. The server was very friendly, a little busy, but still maintained her sanity. Second time, I went with a friend and we sat indoors because it was just WAY too hot outside. Another friendly server. He kept checking up on us and when a server pays attention as much as he did, the tip goes up and up every time. My third time I did takeout. Not so much a good time. When i finished deciding what i wanted, the lady was eating something that she couldn't talk, so I waited for her to finish eating whatever she was eating and took my order. As I've worked in restaurants before, isn't it ANY restaurant policy to NOT eat in front of customers, ESPECIALLY when you have to take their order? It was fine tho, I didn't really mind because i would like to go back and still get good service, and not be the girl who bitched at a staff. Overall, I like this place. It's a little over my food budget, so I like to expeience it once a month.

  • Justin L.

    Sarabeth's = classy brunch Huge space (which is generally packed during brunch), inviting interior, more than enough menu options and friendly service. There are a few very solid restaurants on Greenwich St. for brunch, but if you are in the area and you can't make up your mind, Sarabeth's is definitely worth a try.

  • Amy R.

    Service was horrendous. Customers are treated like they should feel grateful to be allowed to be there. Firstly the food was good but not great. Wait staff is obnoxious and they don't come back to check on you. A waitress was over focused on the table next to us which was empty. She was picking crumbs off the cane chair and knocked dishes onto the floor. The bits of porcelain jumped up onto my meal. No apology, no offer to replace my food or take it off the bill. But really, no apology??? Two minutes later a busboy comes out of the kitchen with a stinky dirty mop and starts mopping in the middle of our meal. That is turnoff enough. Complete waste of money and insult to all sarabeth tried to create. Maybe the other locations are more customer focused.

    I came here with my boyfriend on the night of their "soft open" not even one day post Irene and we immediately were seated at a table outside. I had just moved that day from four+ years in the East Village and wanted to take in my new neighborhood. I was happy to just that at Sarabeth's! While the cocktail list had yet to open up, we did share a bottle of malbec that complimented our shrimp risotto and steak frites very well. I will certainly be coming back; for sure to try the brunch and the spiked blackberry lemonade! Service was great, but it would have been nice if they turned down the couple with the two massive dogs who were behaving quite nicely when we first arrived, but proceeded to bark at every passerby (including strollers) for the latter half of the meal.

    This past week I attended a working lunch, which I admit I was a bit excited to get distracted from a day of work, but I had never before heard of the spot. I do not ususally venture downtown for meals but was pleased to see how cute the neighborhood was. The outside of the restuarant had a spacious area for outdoor seating, not the usual manhattan outdoor seating in which you are sitting on top of each other. But, because we were a large group we decided it would be easier to sit inside. It was a wonderful spacious, light, room. The restaurant was so simpliy decorated and the windows were so vast that in itself was the perfect deor. Understated yet elegant. It was a luncheon and the menu for that time of day consisted of brunch. I wide variety of both breakfast and lunch options. We each ordered our own individual meal and chose a bunch of sharing plates. I got the eggs benedicts which was delicious, and just like the ambiance, the food too was delicious yet understated. The hollandaise sauce was lighter than I had ever had before, and was very pleased. The baked mac and cheese with broccoli was out of this world. The tomato soup, was the best I've ever had and I'm not even usually a fan of tomato soup. I shared it which was a good idea because it was a very creamy dish and could have been a meal on its on. The Bloody Mary was a presentation on its own, topped with all sorts of shredded veggies. The service was exceptional, except for one meal that came out ten minutes later than the rest, but once it arrived it was certainly worth the wait. The only complaint I had was that the majority of the people eating in the restuarant were adults with their young, and loud, children. But, I guess that comes with eating out during the day. The prices were more than reasonable for a Manhattan restaurant.

    I love this place! Have been several times and always enjoyed myself. It's best to make a reservation if you are going to go on a weekend for breakfast or brunch.

    My parent's took me here for my 33rd birthday brunch on a sunday at noon. It was NOT good. The restaurant has terrible acoustics - we had to yell at each other the whole time. There were many screaming babies and loud adults. In addition, the food was just so-so. My dad had an expensive lobster roll that was the size of a small bread roll - and it cost $24. My turkey burger was dry. Our waiter disappeared after we ordered and we had to wait about 20 minutes for our check. The bathrooms ran out of paper towels. I would not go back.

    Went to Sarabeth's Tribeca to meet a friend for lunch today. We asked for a quiet table. We were shown into a large back room where the piped music was incredibly loud. Twice, I told the server that we wouldn't order until the sound was turned down. My friend asked the manager. Then I asked the manager. The room remained far too noisy. If it hadn't been so hot, we would have gone to another quieter place but we expected a good lunch, at least, and stayed. I had scrambled eggs with ham and spinach on a cut up bun. The scrambled eggs were dry and flavorless, the ham was two slices of cheap Canadian bacon (or seemed to be), the spinach was OK, the bun was dried out. I was given neither butter nor jam. And did I mention the NOISE LEVEL? Waste of money and waste of time. The Sarabeth's on the Upper East Side is a whole 'nother kettle of fish (or used to be, at least). I can't think of one redeeming feature of today's experience at Sarabeth's Tribeca. Give it a miss. (I've given it one star because I'm not sure that you can write a review with no stars and, at least, I don't seem to have food poisoning.)

    Sarabeth's in Tribeca is excellent. I haven't been to the others but this one is in a beautiful location, the food and service is impeccable, and I must give praise to their four flowers mimosa. It's quite popular with families with little cute toddlers early Saturday morning, but if you are up that early (as we were, the past few times), I suppose it is the case at any stellar brunch place in the city.

    Went once for brunch and once for dinner. Their coffee was amazing. Freshly brewed with a quality that impresses. Waitress at brunch was amazing and attentive. I never was left without water or more coffee. Big plus! I had an omelet and it was fast and hot and delicious. My fellow diner had pancakes that were also delicious. Dinner was ok. I agree that service needs some tweaking was good overall. I think due to the raging rain - perhaps our waitress was sent home because our server changed mid-way through. Martini was great (although first waitress spilled a bit.) Overall - a reliable place.

    Food the usual Sarabeth's. Service absolutely HORRENDOUS. Almost as if it were a parody of a restaurant with bad service. In fact, calling it service is kind of a misnomer to begin with. Even the bathroom had no paper towels which added to the experience.

  • L W.

    Very pricey. The food is classic and delicious but not memorable. The atmosphere is passable and a bit stiff. Clearly the servers are on their toes to get the attention and they are also a bit aloof when you need their attention. Very beautiful selection of pastries. The portion is unnecessarily big, I would rather have them reduce the price point by $5 and have a regular size meal such as 3 pancakes instead of 5. A good breakfast spot for tourists who stay in Tribeca.

  • Yao-Ming H.

    Great atmosphere, warm and cozy feeling and pretty busy for a heavy snow day. Great place for breakfast/brunch, though a little pricey. Had the classic eggs benedict with a side of apricot sausage (taste a little like Chinese sausage but with an American flavor) and washed it down with a hot mocha latte. Altogether everything was very flavorful.

  • Tracy P.

    A recent visit to Sarabeth's Tribeca left me debating which was worse: the food or the service. Each was abysmal and a strong candidate for the "worst aspect of the meal" award. The service can be summed us as virtually non-existent. Although there were several wait staff at the restaurant and only about 4 total tables, my waiter disappeared for long stretches of time leaving me without water or coffee. After dropping off my food, he never returned until well after I was finished eating. He then disappeared again. To get my check, I had to go inside and seek out my bill from the hostess. As bad as the service was, the food was no better. I ordered the eggs benedict with soft poached eggs and a side of home fries. By the time the food reached my table, it was barely luke warm. The eggs were over-cooked to the point of being almost hard-poached. The hollandaise was flavorless. The English muffins were far too thick--each was about 2 inches high. The potatoes were bland and soggy. I anticipated that the waiter would ask about my meal when I requested that he clear it and all I had eaten was one of the poached eggs and a few potatoes, as leaving 80% of your meal untouched is usually sign that there was something wrong. He didn't care and simply took the plates. In the end, the winner of worst-of-the-worst was the food. The service might have been passable had the meal been better. On the other hand, no amount of attentive, friendly service would have saved the food. This meal would have been unacceptable at an airport and left me wishing that I had just stopped at the nearby McDonald's instead. The food would have been better and the breakfast would not have set me back $38.

    Came here for brunch on a weekend and was extremely satisfied with the service, ambiance and food. Was a little hesitant given the mixed Yelp reviews but ultimately found nothing amiss during our Sat brunch. I made a reservation on OpenTable and we were seating promptly at 12:30. Our server greeted us, was very friendly, took and brought over our Bloody Marys in a matter of minutes and was attentive throughout the entire meal. The Bloody Marys were excellent. Some of the best I've had in a long time (except for maybe Prune), served with a heap of sweet and tart pickled veggies and in a generously large glass. Filled to the brim with tomato spiciness, they were perfect and surprisingly strong and $12. I ordered Farmer's Omelet with a scone and T ordered the Garden Omelet with a pumpkin muffin. Both came out steaming hot and fluffy with sides of Sarabeth's signature marmalade. Each bite of the Farmer's Omelet was a nice blend of ham and cheese with a hint of leeks. On the rich side, but delicious. My scone was dotted with currants and was soft and warm, perfect slathered with butter and preserves. T's Garden Omelet was bursting with peas, zucchini and mushrooms and was light and fluffy yet moist all at the same time. The only complaint I had (though tiny) was that the Pumpkin Muffin, while wonderfully flavored, was a little dry. But with butter, the muffin was perfect. Both omelets were large and very reasonable for $14. We were able to leisurely enjoy our brunch and were not rushed out in any way by our waitress. When signaled, she brought the check promptly and we floated out on the door on a cloud of brunch perfection :) I will definitely be back.

    A great place to take kids and infants. One of few places in the city where crying babies are welcomed :)

    Great spot along Greenwich street. Love walking here for Sunday brunch after church or a late Saturday night. Perfect to take out of town guest and locals

    Lets make something clear first: I could take a shower in their preserves. Now that we made that clear....The food isn't extraordinary, at least not for the prices! I had the goat cheese omelet, which was good, but not excellent. The corn muffin was good...but nothing special. The portions are ok, if you eat a lot then you will be in need to order a dessert or something else. Which will be expensive since an orange juice actually costs $7 dollars and a coffee $4. Won't be coming back, there are better and cheaper options.

    You really can't go wrong with Sarabeth's. I like this one because it's huge and you can get a table, unlike the one on Central Park South. I always get the same thing, the Goldie Lox - scrambled eggs with cream cheese and lox with either a muffin or a scone. The corn-blueberry muffin is really nice, and the jam is always great.

    Excellent brunch. We were seated promptly, and the service throughout was impeccable. Bloody Mary is enormous and just the right amount of spicy. The pickled vegetables they use as a garnish are also great. The lobster roll was very good, but a little smaller and less meaty than I would have expected. The Goldie Lox is highly recommended.

    Came here after doing some wedding dress shopping with the girls, at around 4pm, for a late lunch. When we got there, we were told at least three times that we had to be out before 5 because they were closing for a private event. They weren't very nice or hospitable about it. We were between appointments and in a rush, so we sat down anyway. I found the "mid-afternoon" menu very overpriced ($19 for scones and tea?), and the food was at best average. My friend got a lobster roll that came with house-made potato chips, many of which were soggy. Most other reviewers like this place a lot, so it's possible I didn't have a representative experience. Nonetheless, I probably won't be returning.

    Food is good, but don't think its worth what they charge. 3 out of the 5 times I have gone service has been horrible and takes forever to do no brain capacity tasks, i.e. bring out ketchup in a 20 minute window.

  • Anthony S.

    Food is delicious and is very quickly prepared. Took them about 2 mins to get our food to us after ordering. Had a taste of each of my family members meals, all of which were delicious. My only complaint is that the place is extremely loud due to the Stone walls. Sound proofing/absorbing is much needed.

    This place is perfect for a business lunch. The menu has a little of everything and is fairly moderately price (for Tribeca). The service is pretty good and there is at ton of out door seating. I had the crab cake sandwich and it was awesome. The potato chips that came with it were impossible to resist!!!! Overall - I would recommend!

    Not surprisingly, Saturday brunch was extremely busy. That being said, the waiters and hosts were very courteous and helpful. I arrived at 1 and didn't have to wait to be seated outside, so I guess I was a bit lucky that day. My friend and I shared the Salmon Eggs Benedict and the Lemon Ricotta Pancakes - fantastic choices. The SEB was sizable and its flavors were well-balanced. The Pancakes were nice and fluffy, with just the right hint of lemon. Oh, and there are five of them (the pancakes) to boot! The pricing is on the steeper side, but, hey, both the food and service are great. I'd definitely recommend Sarabeth's to a friend.

    Was very excited to go to sarabeth's in TriBeCa because it was always too crowded uptown. Went on Sunday at 4pm and was glad it stays open all day. I started with a muffin, because I heard that they were great. DRY DRY and tasteless. Then I had the tea, which seemed to be a bargain at $19. The curried duck burger was DRY DRY, as was my husband's hamburger. The waitress was pleasant but forgot to bring me a cup after she delivered teapot and disappeared. Oh well, I experienced Sarabeth's, so that takes care of that forever.

    I went to Sarabeth's for a Saturday brunch with high expectations. I am a huge fan of brunch foods. The ambiance was nice, and the staff was friendly and attentive, so no complaints there. The food however was rather unremarkable. I was rather disappointed with just about every dish that was placed before our party of four. It wasn't terrible, just not particularly good and quite over priced for the quality. I've had much better brunches at cheap diners.

  • Andrea W.

    Sarabeth's has long been a favourite restaurant of mine, since I first discovered New York brunch on the upper west side when moving to NYC in 2008. Unfortunately, Sarabeth's TriBeCa has not lived up to its potential in this new location. It's not that the food isn't good, it's decent. 6.8 out of 10, it's edible. But the combination of it being grossly overpriced, the menu lacking creativity, and the food tasting like it came from a midtown manhattan chipotle kitchen (sorry, chipotle) - it just isn't worth it anymore. Sarabeth's, stop resting on your brand name laurels, and return to the brunch I know you can be!

    Came here last weekend; I live in Battery Park City, had never been, but my friend's mom was in town, so it was an opportune time to come. They said that there was going to be a 15 minute wait, but when I met up with my party, there was a table waiting for us, presumably because it was cloudy/ready-to-rain, and Taste of Tribeca was happening that day, so the locals had other food options. The decor inside is light and the interior space is laid out in such a way that you wouldn't feel like you are on top of one another. We opted to sit outside despite the weather. Since I'd heard good things about the Lemon and Ricotta Pancakes, I finally settled on them, after debating between ordering them or the Almond Crusted French Toast (which, luckily my friend's mom ordered). While I normally go eggy versus pancake-y at brunch, I am glad I chose the latter. The pancakes were light and fluffy, and the subtlety of the lemon enhanced the well-interspersed bits of ricotta. I did "help" my friend's mom finish her almond french toast - there were 4 or 5 half-slices. The toasted almonds were crispy, and added a lovely flavor to the well-prepared french toast. I didn't use the accompanying compote because all they needed was a bit of syrup. As a side, I ordered the Chicken and Apple Breakfast Sausage, and I think that my own recent tendency to stay away from meat made me a bit more critical - I could taste the apple chunks, but they seemed a bit salty to me (compared to the chicken and apple sausage I had picked up for a barbecue from Amish Market). And I think that pan-frying versus grilling also had something to do with it. The most standout moment, though, was around the beverage service. I ordered the Bloody Mary ($14), and thought the pickled vegetables were a nice touch, however, I found it to be unremarkable (having had some great Bloody Marys all over the city); it was lacking in flavor, overwhelmingly tasted of tomato, and there was no horseradish, black pepper, worcestershire sauce, and needed more salt. I ordered a Mimosa instead and told our waiter that he could take it off the table. He asked if there was a problem with the drink, and I gave my candid yet diplomatic assessment of what was missing. When he brought the bill out, he said that they had taken care of it (as in, taken it off the bill), which was a pleasant surprise, since I was fully prepared to pay for it - I am not one of those patrons who expects something to be taken off the bill simply becauseI didn't care for the taste. That impressed me enough that I am definitely coming back.

    Loved this place for brunch. We had reservations and we were seated very quickly. We stopped here on the way to the airport so we had our luggage with us. We were six and they still found a place to store our luggage while we dined. I had the Eggs Benedict which was outstanding. We ordered their Margarita pizza as an appetizer to share amongst us. We enjoyed it so much we ordered another one. I also had a bite of their lobster Mac and cheese and the French toast and both were divine. Only negative was that they only have one bathroom.

    Based on the Almond Crusted French Toast, Crab Cake sandwich, and Four Flower juice I had, I really wanted to give this place a 3.5 rating. However, because I really liked the ambiance, I generously added another .5 star. Food: -It came came out rather quickly. -Other than the almonds and powdered sugar on the FRENCH TOAST it lacked flavor and wasn't really sweet. I wish it had nutmeg and cinnamon as well as a bit more sugar. It came with a strawberry sauce on the side, which was okay, but seemed more suitable for a slice of cheesecake. It would have been better to have had chunks of strawberry in it. -My friend and I felt greedy, so we ordered the CRAB CAKE sandwich to share. The crab cake was really good. Lightly breaded and not overly seasoned chunks of blue crab (I assume), which was accompanied by tarter sauce. It came with a simple green salad and fries. The fries were okay, but they reminded of Five Guys fries (though slightly better); anyone that knows me knows I don't like their fries. - I had high expectations for the FOUR FLOWER juice, and although it was good there was an weird taste that I'd notice when finishing each; it wasn't the best taste. Ambiance: -The energy here is really good -They can accommodate large groups -The space is large -It's a great place to enjoy a meal and not feel rushed With all that said, I come back and try something new.

    The reason this gets 3 stars is because there truly is something for practically everyone on this brunch menu. The quality it is OK, not great and not bad. Better than a diner but not as good as so many brunch places in NYC. The setting is cute, however can be loud, what can you expect from a 200 seat restaurant. If I am going to spend 15.00 on eggs, the carb on the side should be spectacular. Anything in the way of a baked product here was awful. NYC has amazing bakeries, don't expect that here. Scone inedible, more like a second rate biscuit. Toast, even more unimpressed. Be prepared for 70% children, 30% adults. Its stunning how many children eat breakfast at 10 am.

    Real coffee lovers do not go here! The coffee is atrocious for a coffee connoisseur. You're better off at your local average deli if you just want a regular cup of joe. The salad was good. The prefixed menu's burger comes with amazing guac which I thought a nice surprise. The turkey burger was great. The customer service was also pleasing. I sat at the bar and Keishla (I hope I spelled that correctly) was extremely helpful. DO NOT GET THE COFFEE!

    This place is good, not great. Tried the almond crusted french toast and the frittata. Frittata is way better. Food quality was okay. Service was excellent. Beautiful and spacious place. Lots of kids and families but it was not too loud. The rating is based on comparison with other brunch places in the city, and I can easily think of places that are more deserving of four stars (five points) and five stars (buvette).

    Had a much better time when I gave it a second chance at brunch a few weeks ago. Eating at the bar assures MUCH better service - but the place is still a sh*t show (I guess I asked for it, going there for Saturday brunch...). There was only one bathroom for the ENTIRE place to use, and it was jam-packed. My eggs benedict was good , nothing to go crazy about - just your standard eggs benny. The bloody mary could have used more of a kick, but I appreciated that because bottles of prosecco were constantly being popped, I was never disappointed with a flat mimosa. Boyfriend and friend had some lentil egg with flaky bread dish that was absolutely delicious as well. Also didn't hurt to see Jamie Foxx there!! Celeb sightings are always a nice perk!

    So the lemon ricotta pancakes are amazing and so are any of their muffins but Service is so terrible that I had to give them only 2 stars. The waitresses forget to bring you condiments, and your order sometimes! I waited for my order 30 minutes after my husbands order came out and when we asked for the check we waited over 25minutes before she returned with it

    Honestly it was just okay. For the price and the taste, there is nothing oh-so-wow about it. Its just "Sarabeths" you know! So everyone is hyped about it (clearly because even after a reservation we waited for 30 minutes!). I shared the french toast and salmon eggs benedict. It was good, nothing spectacular. The guac and chips that we started with had a good amount of guac and less chips! First time I've ever seen that but I'm not complaining. One things though-- the service was great. Apart from the wait our server was very attentive and kept coming back. I didn't get a chance to tip him as per my choice though and show him my appreciation, because 18% gratuity was added to a party of 6 or more. Good ambiance and very brunchy. Nice place, but nothing I would rave about.

    You MUST come here for happy hour! It's a beautiful restaurant and on Thursday nights they have live jazz. I work in the area and was at first concerned that it may be a bit pretentious but I always passed their signs for happy hour and one day gave it a try with a few friends. Great ambiance, great prices and a good time!

    Brunch in NYC is just a fun experience and this place was great on a very snowy Saturday! We were in town for a wedding and stopped in and found a seat at the bar. Such a cute spot! The coffee was fantastic, the donut was yummy and both my husband and I enjoyed our french toast and eggs. I personally enjoyed the entire dining experience.

    This place is bustling. It is really big and crowded. IT has a cute-like vibe/décor, but you sort of get the "brunch factory" feel because there are so many people going in and out and I didn't get the feeling that I was getting special individual attention or anything like that. The service is fast and to the point, and when we needed something and our server couldn't be found, we asked one of the many other staff that were everywhere. I got the scrambled egg popover, which was just ok. Im pregnant and asked that the eggs were well done. When I got my food they had also put the cream cheese on the side because they said it was not pasteurized. I appreciated them looking out for me, but would have preferred the server checked if I wanted something else as the meal without the creamcheese was pretty bland. I also had a side of chicken apple sausage which was good. My friend had a burger which she said was really good. Overall, no major complaints, but also not super memorable. Tons of families there, so note that it is a good place to bring kids to.

    Another average but over-hyped eatery in NYC. I about died looking at the prices and the mediocre taste and portion for over $15 pancakes with nothing else made me feel sorry for all the poor suckers that rate this place a 5. I'd pick an i-hop over Sarabeth's for better price, taste and portion. Food and environment 2 stars, great waitress 1 star.

    Sarabeth's accommodated myself and my out of town guests (7 adults and a baby!) for a last minute 10 AM brunch reservation this past Sunday. They were gracious in the face of changing reservations twice, as well. Perfect, since our party had a few undecided members. My boyfriend and I arrived first, and were told we'd have to wait for our entire party to arrive before being seated. That's fine in the spirit of keeping the restaurant happy, but I have to say - they missed out on drink sales from our group that way. The early arrivals would have happily ordered mimosas and other Sunday beverages while we waited, however; once the party arrived, the goal became "eat brunch and get going with the site seeing" and not "relax and catch up over a beverage while we wait". That dinged the potential sales a bit. Once everyone arrived we were seated quite quickly at a table in the back of the quaint restaurant. We all tried a variety of omelettes, french toast concoctions and other treats, and everyone left full and happy. The eggs were light and fluffy in the omelettes, and the croissants and preserves were absolutely amazing. The fat, fluffy french toast with strawberries and the apple banana french toast were sweet without being cloying, and came with an enormous side of eggs and toast with preserves. I had the farmer's omelette but made a mental note to come back and try the french toast and the lemon ricotta pancakes. Our waitress was just the right amount of attentive, making sure we were hydrated and happy, and that my niece (the baby) had plenty of crayons and other things to occupy her attention. She even made sure the not-so-mature adults at our table (read: all of us) had crayons as well if we wanted. The noise level was a little high, but not overwhelming, and actually worked well to mask the noise of the high number of babies and toddlers scattered around the room with the TriBeCa mommies out for brunch dates with their friends. The space didn't feel crowded at all - a plus since there was a line out the door that started shortly after we were seated. Calling ahead was definitely the right move to avoid waiting. Overall, I'd definitely go back for another brunch.

    My first thoughts: Did I just step into a J. Crew catalogue? But anyways. . . This is the site of one of my biggest ordering regrets, which took place when I came here for a reservation on Sunday morning at 10:30. The Regret: I opted for the Morning Crunch instead of other tastier items on the menu, i.e. the omelettes, waffles, french toasts, and Goldie Lox. The spinach and goat cheese omelette was calling my name but I disgracefully tuned it out. The reason being that I wanted something lighter, thus the granola. . ? Yeah, I'm not sure how that makes sense, either. I should have known that a $9 bowl of granola would be pretty hefty and filling. I didn't finish it. The granola, fruits, and yogurt was nothing special. Although, my friends had an omelette and pumpkin waffle which both seemed to be quite delicious. So, why am I giving this place 4 stars? Because there's a lot of potentially delectable items on the menu, the other orders besides mine were great, and there was a lively, bright, open ambiance. Despite the stroller-to-people ratio, it's generally a lovely place to be.

    Out of all of the Sarabeth's locations - I would definitely recommend Tribeca. I headed to Sarabeth's Tribeca for a late Saturday brunch and was able to find street parking less than a block away. (The other alternative would have been using the parking garage that is on the same block as the restaurant - no complaints either way). The vibe is sweet, energetic, and cozy - but had to knock down a star due to the extremely high noise level (chatter/general noise). Your ears will ring a bit, and you will definitely have to speak a little louder to those in your party. Luckily, the food was worth it. Ordered & Loved: - French Toast with Strawberries (Yes, you only get 2 teeny strawberries - but the french toast were crisped to perfection) - Eggs Benedict (one of the best I've had) - Mac&Cheese with Bacon Broccoli And I love the fact that you can order endless sparking water for $3 :)

    Good food minus the tomatoes. We came in Thursday morning and were sitting in an almost empty restaurant. We ordered drinks, got coffee, and asked for ketchup and jelly(for the biscuit). Never saw our waiter again. after 30 minutes of sitting with empty water and coffee, I had to ask another waiter where our waiter was... instead of him showing up, new guy brings jelly and ketchup... very useful when we have no food left. Sad experience for a $70 meal.

    I came for brunch on a Saturday and was surprised to find that there was hardly a wait time. The decor felt clean and upscale and the atmosphere felt airy and bright despite it being packed. It would be great for tourists who are looking for a quintessentially New York place. However, if you're more concerned with taste than ambience, you may want to pass. The food was mediocre and overpriced. I got the Classic Eggs Benedict, but the Hollandaise was bland and a bit too lemony. The brunch/lunch menu was typical and uninspired.

  • Van-Ann B.

    I'm not sure what all the hype is about Sarabeeth's. When I first came to NY, everyone told me that brunch in Sarabeth's was a must-do. Anytime anyone ever visits NY, they want to go to Sarabeth's. I was pretty excited when one opened up in Tribeca as I had been waiting several years to go to this amazing brunch spot... Unfortunately, I don't think I'm sold. Don't get me wrong - it is definitely not bad. It's actually pretty decent. But is it one of the best brunches I've had? No. Was it that memorable? Not really. When I dined there, I had their eggs and porridge. The eggs tasted like any other eggs I've had in the city. The porridge was interesting. It came with milk, honey and strawberries. The honey and strawberries definitely gave it a little bit more flavor. But maybe I'm just not a fan of porridge. I will give Sarabeth's the benefit of the doubt and say maybe it was me, maybe I should have ordered better. But until they prove me wrong, I'm still not sold...

    If it's good enough for the Gossip Girls it's good enough for me. But at $18 for pancakes, the lemon ricotta pancakes are o-k-a-y. The 4 flowers juice is great (grapefruit, banana, pineapple & pomegranate), I can drink kegs of. @$7 a glass, maybe not. haha. I'm also not a mimosa fan, but had to try their strawberry lemon mimosa when the lady next to me ordered it. Gotta say, it's good, but the 4 flowers juice earned them the star ratings :) The service is great. Everyone's very attentive. Busy atmosphere, but then again, it's NY. -1 star 'cause the much raved about pancakes weren't all they're cracked up to be.

    Went back a second time with a group of five on a Saturday around 1:30. We were able to snag a table outside after about a 20 minute wait. We had made reservations for 1 pm inside, but the weather was so beautiful and a table opened up quickly enough that we decided to sit out. The service was definitely better the second time around. Our waiter was pleasant, albeit quite, and everyone seemed pleased with their food. I ordered the margherita pizza. I know this is not a pizza restaurant, so I didn't expect it to be like the NYC pizzas that are amazing (and I pretty much know them all), but I just really love pizza and wanted it, so I got it. No it's not a NYC pizza, but if I happened to be at Sarabeth's and wanted a pizza, I would get it again. It's still pretty good in my book, especially if you know what you're getting. Another person at the table ordered the pumpkin waffles, which comes with a side of honey, raisins and sunflower seeds on top. Unique dish and he enjoyed it. Another got the burger, which comes with grilled red onions, tomatoes, and guacamole, side of fries. I don't think he thought this was an exceptionally good burger, but definitely good enough to polish off and eat all the fries. Another got the roasted chicken sandwich with Gruyere and watercress. She loved it. The last was the seafood cobb salad. This dish is really beautifully presented and she absolutely loved it. Our waiter said it was his favorite thing on the menu, too. We ordered two desserts - the peach/plum tart and the chocolate brownie. I didn't have the peach/plum, but there were mixed reviews. The brownie, I will say, was agreed by all to be pretty terrible. It tastes like a mix of chalk and fluffy chocolate cake. Not a brownie at all. Sarabeth's is definitely not the place to go for dessert. For sure. I once also tried their homemade oreo cookie, which was terrible as well. But the food menus are great, the ambiance is fantastic, and it's a really good place to go with a group for sure.

    Quality going down?? I used to love Sarabeths. Today was either an off day or the quality is going down. My husband has to eat a gluten-free diet. Granted this isn't a great place for him but we thought he could at least order the Hanger Steak on the menu. After he places the order we were told they were out of it. So he got a burger with no bun. The small burger was lost on the plate with a few pieces of lettuce they called a salad. They also advised him not to have the fries since they are cooked in the same oil as the chicken tenders. I guess they can't make a batch of fries in separate oil. My eggs Benedict was cold and the egg yolk was hard and fully cooked. I am giving two stars in hopes that we both just had bad experiences due to an off day. We live in the area and are willing to give it one more try before taking it off our local restaurant list. There are so many great restaurants in the area there really isn't a need to have a bad meal.

    Finally made it to Sarabeth's a few months ago! I should first mention that my wallet is still in the recovery process, that and the snooty service aside, I must say the food was delish! I officially dream of breakfast at Sarabeth's. Sadly this will remain as a once in a while treat to myself, because $100 breakfasts are just not in my budget, but nonetheless the food does live up to the hype.

    This place was pretty extraordinary. Came for lunch the other day and I had the loveliest time. I love the fact that their breakfast and lunch menu is combined. I had the eggs benedict (which was incredible) with a pumpkin muffin on the side. Their muffins are amazing, all homemade. We also split the guacamole to start with homemade potato chips. For dessert we had the cookie plate and a lemon cheesecake. All wonderful. They also made a wonderful hot chocolate. The place itself is bright, beautiful and big. The help was super super warm and friendly. The portions were also quite large, not those pretentious teeny portions that are overpriced. They are pricey but every penny is worth it. Just as a side note, we came for lunch on a Friday (we made a reservation but ended up not needing it), but if it was a weekend I'd probably make one.

    I have only been to Sarabeth's UWS once during the McQueen exhibit and it was an hour wait - a long trek to go up there for some damn brunch. Luckily for me - they have opened two new locations. C and I both got bloody mary's. I got C hooked on bloody mary's and so that's all C orders now. It was a generous helping and you can get full off of it. Not as thick nor spicy as I would like, but it was good after I put in my own Tabasco sauce. I had the lemon ricotta pancakes last time, so this time I got the French Toast with Fresh Strawberries. They were fat and fluffy as the name stated, but I just wasn't into it as much as the one at L'Ecole. I am not a maple syrup person, so I prefer to get some fresh berry compote with my French Toast. It was good, but again just not as good as L'Ecole. C got the Shrimp Toast special - it was egg inside the toast topped with colossal shrimp. C wasn't expecting it to be presented this way, but C ate it. Pork Sausage with Apricot - okay. Next time, I am going to try the more savoury options.

    Sarabeth's in all its New York locations exhibits a regression to the mean for its Yelp ratings--a half and three stars. However, something so dangerously close to my home deserves a modest upgrade, and hence my solid four-star review and rating. The Tribeca location replaced the Bazzini store in a magnificent space with vaulted ceilings, housed on the ground floor of the 125-year old Bazzini Building. The products and services have a New England feel to them, but the patrons at this location are primarily young families from the neighborhood, most with their collection of 1-3 kids in strollers. Lunch time and weekends are especially busy. Interesting people-watching, if you are into that sort of thing. Sarabeth herself is a self-appointed legend in the fruit preserves market. In addition to the jams, Sarabeth's sells cookies, cakes and beverages. However, the kitchen is best equipped to serve breakfast and brunch. The oatmeal is hearty and well done, and cleverly labeled as baby/mama/papa bear, not to forget the extreme version that is named big bad wolf. The basket of muffins and preserves would constitute a heavy breakfast for two, but not a particularly healthy one. My absolute favorite is the lemon and ricotta pancakes with berries. The variety of choices for lunch and dinner ranges from guacamole and chips to stone-oven pizza and pasta. However, Sarabeth's is best visited for breakfast and brunch. Bring your big appetite and small kids for the fullest experience.

    Came here for brunch on a Sunday last December. We had made a reservation and once our party of 4 had arrived we were seated right away. This place kind of reminded me of a cafeteria, with not that much natural light coming in and the lights being a little too bright. I ordered the Classic Eggs Benedict ($17.50). Think we also ordered home-fried potatoes for the table, which were alright. The entire bill came out to ~$25 per person. Think I'll be back.

    I've heard about this brunch chain a few times - usually while walking around with a friend and deciding where we should have brunch. "Let's try Sarabeth's" is usually accompanied by "It is supposed to be amazing!" but also "There will be a long wait" and "Maybe another time." However this past Sunday, on a friend's birthday weekend, we made reservations at the Sarabeth's in Tribeca and went there. The ambience had a nice, lively Sunday brunch vibe with white walls, the smell of eggs and coffee, tables ordering a drink, or two, happy servers and lots of conversations. Our group contrasted with swollen eyes and headaches, thanks to the previous night out in celebration of our friend's birthday. However, that quickly changed once our coffees arrived! My mocha latte was a little too bitter for my liking, however I suspect that is because they add two shots (instead of the 1 that I am used to) of espresso. I prefer my mocha to be chocolatey and sweet with a hint of espresso instead of the other way around. Nontheless, I was able to enjoy some of it. My food made up for the coffee. I ordered salmon eggs benedict, which came with a side salad and was just delicious! Honestly, I love salmon and eggs, so I don't see how they could have messed this up, but it was great anyway. My friends ordered waffles, pancakes, fries and omlettes all of which were great. Besides, our little round table in the corner allowed for an intimate setting in a lively brunch place. I would definitely repeat Sarabeth's when searching for a good brunch place - but only after making a reservation. Though I enjoyed it, I don't think I'd wait for an hour to get a table. :)

    Went out to brunch with a group of old friends visiting NYC, lovely location for groups. Great outside seating (this was during earlier fall months) with relatively quick seating for a large group on a busy sat morning. The service...a bit jokey, in a rude kinda way...pretty slow with food preparation as well. Didn't appreciate others who got seated 20-30mins after us get served first. Thank God the food was their redemption. The four flowers juice was to die for! Eggs Benedict was pretty yum as well. Not to mention their delicious seasonal pumpkin muffins as well.

    I've been here for a Bridal Shower. We had afternoon tea in a private room. We were limited to 2 hours. They were very strict about time slots. Place was elegant and food was good but pricey. However, this pricey establishment is average for a swanky classy hangout in Tribeca. I would say it's comparable to Bagatelle but less crowded and less crazy than Bagatelle. I'll try other Sarabeth locations for brunch one of these days and confirm. Updates to this review in the near future.

    Friday date nights are back again! After a crazy summer of not being here, my routine Fridays are now back in swing and we decided to give this place a try. My date told me that this place opened recently and I am always ready to try something new. We arrived on a hot, summery night and immediately I noticed that this place was big and breezy. The place is spacious and warm. The walls are white and with cozy New England decor. The hostess was able to seat us immediately. As soon as we sat down, the waitress for the table next to us spilled wine all over the gentleman's back. It was pretty embarassing to witness this, but the guy took it well. He didn't get mad and was really nice about it. This was to foreshadow the service for the rest of the evening. The service was absolutely abyssmal. I understand that they just opened, so I am willing to cut them some slack, but really, it took them forever to get us some water and the place was half-empty. My friend ordered a cobb salad and wanted to substitute blue cheese for gruyere. The waitress was clueless. She did not know what gruyere was. That's a no-no. We had mussels in saffron curry and matchstick fries as an appetizer and it was flavorful and the sauce was easily scooped up by the complimentary bread. I recommend the mussels. I was in the mood for the roasted halibut and the waitress said she might be able to get me the last order, but alas, it was 86'd. So I settled for sauteed vegetables with pine nuts and polenta. It was a letdown. The vegetables were fresh, but the polenta was so bland. The truly outstanding dish was the dessert. If you come here, definitely get the bread pudding. It was light, fluffy, and just absolutely decadent. Overall, the place was just so-so and the service was below average. But, I had a good time with my date (as always). Once again, date night a success!

    Sarabeths was... good. The honest truth is that for as much as you pay for the food, I've had better. I went for breakfast, and had both pancakes and eggs benedict. Definitely good, but not memorable.

  • Danny C.

    My personal favorite at Sarabeth's is the pumpkin waffle!! It's soft, tad sweet, and fresh! Their entree dishes are overall good as well! I'm personally a fan of egg benedict, which I think Sarabeth's does it quite good as well- Wish they had this in my area as well..

  • Raymond G.

    Review is for the brunch. The good: Great neighborhood with lots of shopping, bars and other restaurants around. And the building itself: beautiful 5 story that has been redone impeccably. Sarabeths is huge, so if you are looking for an intimate feel, probably head somewhere else. Also, it has kind of a diner feel (not in a bad way, but should be noted). So if you are looking for something particularly "nice", maybe another spot. The menu is huge for brunch. I particularly like that you can get any of their many omeletes as egg whites. Great option for the health conscious. Also, tons of other things to choose from on the menu. The bad: The service is really spotty in here and it gets waaaay to crowded.. almost claustrophobic. The sides of turkey sausage felt like it just came out of a microwave and was dried out. Omelete and granola bowl was good. Basically a decent option for a lunch or a brunch, particularly with a group. Not for dinner.

    We were a big group and shared a lot of plates, so we definitely made a dent in the gigantic menu. The Place: This location is massive. I have walked by a bunch of times never realizing it is actually ~1/2 the block. There is a front room with a lot of windows/sunlight and then an inner room and a back room that seemed to be sealable for private parties (had a projector as well). Since it's winter all the strollers that are typically parked on the street were in the vestibule. Nice Sunday brunch vibe. The Food: - Guacamole & Chips - Guac hit the spot and the chips were deep fried and crispy. Only problem was there was so much guac and so few chips that we needed to ask for extra chips twice in order to get through most of the dish (no additional charge). - Muffins and Jam - An assortment of muffins and jams. Really good and easy to share with the table (cut each in bite sized fourths) - Fat and Fluffy French Toast - possibly the best order of them all. waiter agreed it was the best of the numerous french toast options - Eggs Benedict - came on their muffins, big hit (although a lot of muffin) - Fritata - the manchego sold me on it, but did not live up to the quality of the other dishes. Was good but would not order again. - Sides: bacon and fries were both crispy - Bloody Mary - a signature cocktail and served in a glass the size of 2 goblets -- was HUGE, and a big hit. I still prefer Bubby's, but this is not a bad second for the area -- especially considering they take reservations.

    This place is fine, nothing more, nothing less. I really have no idea why people would wait 2 hours to have brunch here. I enjoyed the pumpkin waffle. It was fairly small. The sour cream was weird. The honey instead of syrup was different. I definitely would not come here with out a reservation.

  • Casey K.

    SO GOOD! Scones are a MUST! at our table of four we got: the salmon scramble, a burger, the chorizo frittata, and salmon eggs benedict. Everyone loved theirs!! I had the Benedict, which was probably the best I have ever had got a hot chocolate which was to die for as well! The bloody Mary looked intense and I was told that was a bit spicy, but good! Whenever I visit my cousin always talks about this place, but we had never been - I was a bit concerned it would not live up to the hype, but it did! The atmosphere was great as well. Our service wasn't fantastic, but it wasn't terrible - that would be my only slight complaint. I will definitely be back for the Benedict and a scone!!!

  • Kevin K.

    Over priced and just so so food. The bloody Marys had no flavor, just tomato juice with no kick and no vodka. I had the snooty manager take it off my bill. She then proceeded to lecture me on the fact that she saw the bartender make it properly and that their was nothing wrong with the Bloody Mary but that she would take it off the bill none the less. She was very condensing.

    places like this give me agita. i arrived at this huge venue at 11:30 AM on a Sunday and immediately trepidation set in. Uppity soccer moms and strollers and their husbands with their bjorns and dockers and pastel stripey shirts lined the sidewalk, jostling for a coveted outdoor table. luckily we had a res and were swept to the antiseptic, windowless back room. uck. I'm sorry but $10 for a 'velvety' tomato soup, with a handful of shredded cheese was a gross pink and so heavy and luke warm; and an unappetizing consistency? Not worth the waste of calories. the menu is decently extensive but everything seems to be about $5 more than it should be. The Caesar salad without chicken is 5 leaves of romaine with some dressing. At $9 it was underwhelming. The burger, according to my burger-loving hubby was not at the top end of the NYC Burger scale and not worth the $15 pricetag. Staff seemed annoyed to be serving us. This place was loud. Too many kids. Too much pastel. Pass.

    Such a pretty place to have brunch! You def. feel like a posh New Yorker with the view of Central Park and the different nationalities of people who are brunching here with you. We started our brunch with mimosas, which tasted like a typical mimosa, but cost $12 each. I thought that was a tad pricey considering it's just orange juice and champagne, but I guess you get what you pay for, the ambiance and the environment. We also got unlimited coffee which was delish. My main dish was the smoked salmon eggs benedict which was heavenly. I hate salon with a passion. The first time I ever had salmon was in Paris, and it was raw on a sandwich. Since then, I just can't stand the sight or smell of salmon. I wanted to take a leap and I decided to go with the smoked salmon eggs benedict dish because I mean, why not try something different, and I am so glad I did! The salmon did not smell fishy or taste fishy. It tasted so yummie with the eggs and the bread. They also give you a side of salad which was delish! My sister got the fluffy french toast. Oh my god, they were fluffy and divine! And they came with strawberries = perfection! Overall, this is a great place to have brunch. The ambiance is so lovely. Be aware of the prices though, it is a tad bit expensive for brunch, but like I said, this is NYC.

    The newest (I believe) of the Sarabeth's and our favorite. It seems the best managed frankly. Large space and while crowded can move the crowds through so good for a meal where you didn't plan ahead and find yourself in the area. Menu is classic Sarabeth's menu (I've described elsewhere) so classic American fare (in fact we took French visitors here based on their request for authenticity). Extremely family friendly - almost to a fault as we've occasionally been exiled to 'the nursery' in the back where large families seem to end up.

    Poor service. Bland food. Shocked that this place has a 1+ hour wait for brunch. I got the popover stuffed with eggs. It was so gross. Literally just a stale popover with wet scrambled eggs and cream cheese. No salt. No flavor. Served with overdressed wilted greens. My husband got the cheese omelette with pretty much a similar experience. We got the home fries which were just bland potatoes. Our server never checked up on us and perhaps if he had I could've asked for hot sauce to salvage my meal. By the time he came around, everything was cold. Wasted $75 on an underwhelming brunch.

    After all the positive reviews, I had high expectations for Sarabeth's Tribeca but was rather disappointed. The locale was pleasant and lovely but we waited about 10 minutes for a seat, despite my reservation (I'm pretty nuts about reservations -- my thinking is that if I have a reservation, if I show up on time, I can expect to be seated on time). Service was slow and poor. We sat for about 5 minutes before anybody showed up with water and another 5 minutes before our server showed up. Bloody mary was huge but I'm not sure if there was alcohol in it. My friend ordered a Bloody M, "very spicy." I said, "The same, please." He wound up with a spicy one and mine was not. The chips and guacamole looked delicious but for the price it was underwhelming. Not enough chips and the few we had quickly got soggy in the guac which desperately needed salt, lime, and kick. Smoked salmon eggs benedict was mediocre at best. The english muffin was thick and crusty, making it hard to cut and just overall messy and inconvenient. My other dining partner took a bite of his classic eggs benedict and exclaimed, "My eggs are cold!" They were not necessarily cold, but they were certainly lukewarm. We asked for the check and waited 20 minutes. Finally flagged down another server to get our check. I feel like this is the type of place you go to for the "brunch experience" but you pay for the experience and nothing more. The food is bland and insignificant and yet the cost does not match up. The best part of the place is that in our dining area alone, there were 3 bathrooms.

    I'd give 1.5 stars if I could. There are too many other places in Manhattan where I can spend my money. Service: slow. Food: ok, but not worth the price. Kid-friendly - that's ALL that I saw in there. I also saw 3 chairs tumble over in the dining areas - they cannot support anything being placed on the back of them, such as a coat. It's rather discerning. Had lunch, coffee and dessert. Nothing to remark about. Go elsewhere.... That's all I can really recommend.

  • Ken W.

    Was hoping to like this place, but somehow it felt very much like many places in Tribeca which are meant to be seen in, where you can meet someone whose cheeks you're going to kiss twice or maybe coo over their baby, rather than really enjoy the food. If that's what you're looking for, come here and have fun! For me the food has to be good before you can start talking about everything else, and my chicken and waffles pretty much let me down. The chicken was really not at all exciting, the pancakes merely passable, although the spiced honey sauce was pretty good. Someone at my table had had really good bloody marys there before, and the table ordered 4 of them in response- nobody finished theirs this time.

    I always pass this place on my way home but I thought it was just a brunch spot. I was pleasantly surprised when I went in for a post-long-day cocktail and i bite to eat. I had the Manhattan (half off at happy hour - cant beat that) and the mussels appetizer with the match stick fries on top. I was so surprised how great my meal was- an appetizer that actual fulfilled my dinner needs. The sauce was creamy and full of flavor and the matchstick crispies seem an odd choice reading the menu but the supper crunchy texture was great with the soft mussels. I will be back as a regular for this. Also my drink was really great. I thought every Manhattan was pretty much the same but Alex the bar tender on staff made it super smooth but still strong. I liked that even though she was busy she took the time to greet me and get my name, shake my hand, and was really friendly and cool. I will be back for sure if the rest of the staff is that nice. My total for the bill- 2 slick Manhattans, 1 terrific app = $25?! That's crazy good for Tribeca. Will be back soon.

    ZERO STARS. The WORST restaurant experience I have ever had. I can't even comment on the food because we never got the food, after being there for nearly 1.5 hours. We sat down a little before 8:30pm and left at 9:50pm, and NEVER GOT OUR FOOD. After waiting an hour, we started asking for our food. Our waitress basically ignored us for the entire first hour. We were told over the next 20 minutes by several waiters, the hostess, the manager that our food was "only a few minutes away." They said that their kitchen was having problems. So, we stupidly kept waiting for our food. Finally, the manager came to speak to us around 9:40pm, and she was quite nice. However, she came too late, and didn't offer us anything to fix the problem. She explained the problem: there was a private party going on and the kitchen had new staff and the floor only had 2 servers. Thus, there was a lot of miscommunication and many patrons never got their food. The main room wasn't even full; it was at most 60% full on a Friday night. The guy sitting next to us FELL ASLEEP, mouth wide open, waiting for his food. What restaurant is SO SLOW in delivering their food that patrons FALL ASLEEP AT THE TABLE!? After that guy saw us leave, he grabbed his jacket and left too. This is a very poorly managed restaurant. The restaurant never offered us other food or compensation for our time. We finally left a little bit before 10, too tired and hungry to be upset anymore. We are never coming back. ZERO STARS.

    Everything about this place was great, except the food. Wonderful location, friendly staff, great ambiance but the food just wasn't good. We were there for brunch and quite honestly would have been better off bringing food from home. Everything was bland and painfully "regular". Stay away from the three pepper home fries. They look and sound good but are really just dry potato with diced peppers poured on top. Seriously disappointing. The rest of our meal was much the same. Bacon, sausage, eggs and pancakes, all uninspired and poorly executed. Although the food is priced like gourmet fair its far from it. Even the muffins which they are so famous for were nothing special. With a revamped menu this place could be a real gem.

    After reading all the reviews for the other locations, I added Sarabeth's to my "must try" restaurant list. The perfect opportunity came when my co-workers wanted to do a working girls lunch...I enthusiastically recommended Sarabeth's, which had just opened up down the street from our office in TriBeCa. Based on what other Yelpers had written, I knew I had to get the creamy tomato soup despite the $9 price tag. This was definitely the highlight of the meal. Served in a fairly large bowl, it's VERY creamy (almost a bit too much for my palate) and has actual tomato chunks in it along with some melted cheese - delish! For my entrée, I decided to get the chicken pot pie ($17) solely because I had seen one Yelper's picture he/she had posted and it looked so darn delicious. True to what the picture had shown, the presentation of the pot pie was beautiful. However, the dish itself was just meh. Starting with the first bite where I burned my tongue because it was scalding, the dish just went downhill from there. The chicken and the gravy weren't particularly flavorful and I had to add lots of salt and pepper in order to give it some oomph. Also, the small round thin-sliced potatoes in the dish didn't seem like they had cooked all the way through as they were a bit hard. The one saving grace of this dish was the pastry topping itself, which was very buttery and chewy. I found myself trying to desperately scrape off the bits that had stuck to the dish and was disappointed there was no bottom crust. To be fair, I did try a bite of what my friends were having and very much enjoyed the pumpkin waffle as well as the berry corn muffin, although the stuffed egg popover also seemed meh. Props for serving their breakfast menu items until 3:30 PM. I probably should have tried one of those since that is what Sarabeth's is known for. However, it probably won't be for a while...I need some time to get over my $31 (total including tax + tip) lunch disappointment!

    I am giving Sarabeth's 3 stars because quite frankly I thought it was pretty average. I got the fruit and granola and a bowl of tomato soup. My fiancé got the eggs benefit and he complained about the fact that there wasn't enough hollandaise sauce. He said the coffee and orange juice was actually really good. The service was mediocre, food took awhile, and we had to ask our server 3x for the bill. The meal was a bit pricey for what it was and I most likely would not return.

  • Madhu R.

    Waaaaay overrated. I mean, the environment was good, servers were nice, and they seated us right away since we had rezzie's, but I just wasn't impressed by the food, and the patrons tended to be a little too Tribecca-y for me. People should not buy their 5 and 7 year olds expensive brunch when they would much rather be eating cereal and watching cartoons. Also, I usually don't think my cooking is better than brunch places, but it's def true about this place. Katie G., I totally agree!

  • Megan B.

    Came here for Sunday brunch with my mom who was in from out of town. I ordered the Goldie lox with a scone, my mom got the chorizo fritatta with the berry corn muffin and we split a side of the home fries and we each shared half each others so we could taste everything. Our food came out in what felt like 2.5 seconds after we ordered it, which is a good thing when you're really hungry I guess. The scrambled eggs were good and I loved the salty salmon and the cream cheese but who does't? The frittatta was also decent but I almost wish the chorizo wasn't so finely diced so you could taste it a little better. The home fries were also good and weren't super greasy but I would have preferred them a little more crispy and well done but that's really just a personal preference and I probably should have requested the potatoes well done. My scone was so yummy and was dotted with currants and nice and soft and went really well with the preserves. My mom's berry corn muffin was delish as well although maybe just a TAD on the dry side but I happily still ate it and would have eaten another if they offered it. We both also got coffee which was hot and strong and they were good about refilling it. Overall we both enjoyed our food but to be perfectly honest, I think we both could have been very happy to go and order a pastry basket and just eaten that as it was our favorite parts for both of us.

    This location rocks. Unlike the one up near central park, the tribeca location has plenty of room, tons of servers, and the option to sit outside too. I was greatly taken care of and even relaxed when I decided to camp out for a while. The food is always great and top notch. This may become my weekend brunch spot from now on.

    Sarabeth's was absolutely incredible. The decor is simple and comfortable, yet elegant. The food was absolutely knock-your-socks-off good. I had the lobster roll that was worth every penny. Their drinks were super yummy, the cherry spritzer drink of the day was such a treat. And most importantly, the waitress was attentive, kind, personable, and suggestive (regarding food gutter kids). It was one of the best brunch meals I have ever had. I also enjoyed the fact that it is a place where everyone can comfortably go whether it is all upper 20 somethings with no kids, 30 somethings that have a 3 year old that needs to accompany the brunch crowd, or a couple on a brunch date... nobody is going to feel out of place here and that's an attribute to be desired. I highly recommend Sarabeth's Tribeca.

    Great place for brunch! I will also come back and try lunch or dinner. A friend recommended this place so we all went and the food was great. Bunch prices were slightly high but it is Tribeca so you expect that. I had the almond crusted french toast which was fabulous. Others had pancakes/eggs. I will be back for sure. Pros: -Great food -Great location -Clean and large place -Wait was not so bad for brunch Cons: -Slightly overpriced.

    I came here with four other friends to enjoy brunch on a Saturday morning. Even though we had reservations, we did have to wait until everyone was there before we were seated. We each had an egg dish (omelettes, benedict, etc) and each dish came with a small side salad that was very good. Furthermore, if you didn't have a bread with your meal, they offered a few selections of different breads and muffins. My friend got the pumpkin muffin and it was very delicious, I would recommend choosing that if it is not seasonal. I took a star away though because our waitress wasn't as attentive as I would have liked. It took awhile for her to fill our water glasses (we ended up asking a barback) and we had to almost flag her down for the check. It is on the pricier side, but nothing to break the bank. Would I come here again? Maybe for lunch or to try something different. I have to find a brunch place that I absolutely love, but the food is here good if you are in the area.

    sarabeth's tribeca or sarabeth's ues...(sorry, i haven't been to the other locations). they are all the same - average. but i must admit, the easy going atmosphere of the tribeca location is good for brunch with a girlfriend and the cute and homey feel of the ues location is very appropriate for family brunches.

    My friend from out of town and I came here last Friday morning for breakfast before I headed in to work and she was off to meet another friend. We originally tried to go to Kitchenette, but ended up walking down Greenwich to find another spot when we realized it was under renovation. The restaurant was pretty empty so we walked right in and got seated. I opted for the goldilocks (omelet with smoked lox and cream cheese), while my friend had the scramble with chorizo. Had an order of the home fries to split, which are always a must for me when I'm having eggs. I really enjoyed my meal and both came with a choice of muffin, toast or croissant on the side. While it is a little pricey for breakfast, it was a nice treat with a friend who I don't get to see very often. I liked the clean and open layout of the space and will be back again, given its proximity to work.

    4 stars service. 3 stars food, and I'll round down. The key is to have a reservation. It's a popular destination for weekend brunch, and I probably wouldn't wait for food. That said, service is great once you get seated. They have plenty of options, and although everything is a bit pricey (what isn't in nyc), the portions are of good size, and the drinks look really appetizing. We were given muffins to share after our table wouldn't stop wobbling which was nice considering that we didn't really care, but the server did notice which was nice. When she couldn't move us because of how many people were waiting, she just arrived with muffins. A nice touch. The food itself is very decent, and while I wouldn't write home about it, I felt like it was a fair price for a good meal, and a good place to catch up with friends. My wife had the Egg's Benedict and she enjoyed it, although thought the English Muffin was a bit off. I had the Goldie Lox, and it was as advertised. Scrambled eggs, cream cheese, and lox. I wish in hindsight that I got the Farmer's Omelet. For some reason, I always think that lox is great, and I'm never really a huge fan. LOL. Oh well.

    Warning! If you have kids, don't go to Sarabeth's! I have eaten at Sarabeth's quite a few times as it's in my neighborhood. Each time I sit in to dinner I invariably have to ask them to replace my wine glass, it is never clean. However, the wine glasses are secondary now to our latest (and last) experience at Sarabeth's: Our 9 year old daughter ordered chicken fingers from the kids menu, they came promptly and I happened to glance at her plate as she finished her first. The chicken finger was raw in the middle. We were horrified. We called the manager who apologized profusely and took our details with a promise that someone would call us to follow up. Over a week later, no follow-up, no phone call/email. No concern about our child who consumed raw chicken at their restaurant. Please be careful at Sarabeth's Tribeca, the neighborhood is full of kids and if they can't get basic chicken fingers right, one has to wonder what else is going on in their kitchen.

    Even though it's a different location from the one in Upper Eastside, the eggs are still the fluffiest. It's a bit pricey for some, but definitely a good spot to treat a friend for a birthday or a have a date brunch. The tables may be a little bit too close to each other for a good gossip session with the girls, without having to disturb the people sitting at the next table, but if isn't too crowded try to ask for a table that isn't wedged in between two full tables. Overall, it's at great location, if ever in TribeCa, it's a good option to stop by at.

    This place earns two stars for the spacious and well designed interior and prompt service. However, it loses the remaining stars for lackluster food/drinks and value for price points (at least for brunch, which is when we went). The menu isn't necessarily priced higher than some other restaurants in the area, but if the quality of the food isn't there, it's difficult to justify. I have no problem paying $15-20 for a sandwich, but I shouldn't walk away thinking I could have slapped together something better at home. Even the brunch drinks were not good. The bellini was a little bitter tasting and I'm pretty certain they used peach juice from concentrate instead of puree. Maybe the other drinks are better, who knows. I may give this place a 2nd shot for an early dinner because the location is convenient. If so, I certainly hope they can prove me wrong on the above!

    Went for Sunday brunch last week teribble service felt rushed at all times. Ordered buttermilk pancakes and found a hair on my food. I was very disappointed with the service and how they handled the situation. I've been to Sarabeth's before, first time at there Tribeca location and definitely the last.

    Bloody Mary is huge and tasty but like some other reviewers I agree that the eggs Benedict isn't great. Comes cold and not a huge fan of what they replaced the biscuit with...

    I really enjoy the Sarabeth's in NYC. Tribeca by far is the most beautiful of all their locations and I would say the Central Park South is the most entertaining and is right across the street from Central Park and is located right near the high end shops. Regardless of which Sarabeth you choose, the food quality is pretty much the same. The coffee is fantastic, super important for me. The food is good, not spectacular, but good. It is similar to home cooked meals and can be quite pricey. Breakfast for two, which included a main dish - Omelette or Eggs Benny, each come with a light green salad, or choice of pastry like muffin, toast, scone, etc... and a side of yogurt and sausage, including two fancy like cocktails and coffee, totaled about 100 bucks including tip. I find this quite pricey for breakfast. I think Sarabeth's is a must, I really like it. I'm deducting one star just due to the price. Also portion sized are very average and border being small. This is actually a good thing for me because I can eat a lot! But for those who want more bang for your buck, go elsewhere if you are on a budget.

    I knew this was going to be a good spot to eat because the entryway had a neat little row of strollers on a weekday at lunchtime. Only a really good menu would be worth bringing the babies out on such a cold, windy day! Sarabeth's did not disappoint! I had the Mama Bear porridge and cheese omlelet with pumpkin muffin. It was all very yummy. I took off one star because my muffin was hard and tasted less than fresh. Also, the Mama Bear that was brought to the table had different adornments than what was on the menu. The staff all insisted that it was correct even though it was in disagreement with what was on the menu.

    Came here for brunch with my boyfriend because we heard great things about the other Sarabeth's around the city. Unfortunately, this one did not live up to our expectations. The atmosphere was nice but the noise level was awful. My boyfriend and I couldn't carry a conversation because we could barely hear each other from across the table. Our waitress also had a hard time hearing us and taking our orders. When the food came it was nothing like we expected. I got the Salmon Eggs Benedict, which came in a giant plate with two-thirds of it covered in a salad with barely any dressing. The salmon was extremely salty, the biscuit was more of a muffin bottom, and the hollandaise sauce tasted like nothing. To make matters worse, the egg had egg shells in it and my plate was covered in dried flour on the bottom. My boyfriend got the Goldie Lox which was just as salty but at least his muffin was good. My boyfriend also ordered a cup of coffee and when our waitress gave it to him she forgot to give him a stirring spoon. We tried to get a waiter's attention but nobody was coming by so we had to wait until people were seated next to us before we got any service. On top of that, the coffee cup was cracked so it leaked all over the place and was impossible to drink. Needless to say I will not be going back and I will definitely not be recommending this restaurant to anybody.

    Mediocre at best. They could not accommodate my request for outdoor seating (even though I specifically noted this when I made the reservation!) ... but worse, they kept us waiting 20 minutes while waiting for a table to "open up" outside and then finally told me we should just eat inside! Rude! Also: I am certainly no chef, but I am confident that the meals I turn out of my own kitchen are higher quality and tastier than what is served here. My husband and guests agreed on this point, as no one was particularly wowed by their food (our group tried quite the range of dishes: from porridge to steak frites to eggs benedict ... all sort of pathetically bland). Everyone was impressed with the size and presentation of the Bloody Marys, however (and I'll admit that they were quite breathtaking) ... but even all liquored up, the food was still "meh?" That's an unfortunate sign. Lastly, it bears mentioning that the restrooms were pretty gross ... I find this particularly unnerving, since this is what the restaurant shows to its customers. If they cannot maintain a public front of hygiene and cleanliness, dare I imagine what the kitchen must look like? Eeek.

    There were things that I absolutely loved about this place. The location, the casual style, the largeness of it, great for families and large groups. It's bright and airy, clean and spacious and just buzzing with happiness. Food and service was not as I expected. food came very inconsistently. Sometimes we had things coming before we even finished our apps and then some of us literally finished our food and others still haven't gotten theirs yet. There were at least 2 orders that were messed up. Everything was lacking seasoning or some other element of flavor. THe only thing I really enjoyed was the Pork And Apricot Sausage, that jam was to die for. It went great with the sausage. Overall, if you have kids or have friends in family in town and need a place to go, this is not a bad bet.

    Review for Jelly Donuts only! I walk by Sarabeth's everyday and finally decided to go in and get a fresh jelly donut that they advertise on a sign outside. I got the raspberry strawberry. For $2.18, it's a decent price for a decently sized donut but I've had better. The jelly was so runny that once you bite into the donut, everything oozes out (the jelly is watery). The middle was also soggy because the watery jelly soaked the dough around it. I wouldn't buy it again.

    Came with a large group on a weekday for dinner. The space is huge, the ambiance is nice, and it was a respectable choice in that we were able to have conversations and actually hear one another. The bread was great, but I found my entree to be just ok. Chicken pot pie was an attractive menu option considering the weather outside but the dish was quite average. Would be willing to come back here for brunch. Service was friendly.

  • Lars F.

    Expensive! I think the pancakes were $15.00 and yes, a cup of coffee costs $4.00. And a refill on the coffee? That's 4 more dollars! Crazy. The food was good and the service was okay. In the course of less than an hour Renee Zellweger and Kenny Ortega sat behind us. Heard from the bartender that Bono was in the back room. Not bad for celebrity spotting.

    RIP Bazzini forever in my heart, and with that in mind walking into Sarabeths I was ready to be the Simon of judges on this place. Walking into Sarabeths you can't help but notice all of the white and all of the space, yet it reminds you nothing of a hospital, in fact for such a large space it gives off such an inviting feel. We went for an early supper and there were plenty of seats available. The hostess let us pick what area we wanted to be seated as well as which exact table. The bread basket was on our table within seconds (we asked for a second basket, we couldn't get enough). The staff was so attentive, maybe even too attentive, "is everything OK" every other minute. I am sure it was only because it was a slow time of day and the place is relatively new (they were still very pleasant and helpful). The prices are right, plenty of choices on the menu (but not too many to overwhelm the mind), and the taste is exactly how I like it. Calamari comes with garlic sauce, at first you miss the classic red sauce and then really start to enjoy the garlic sauce so much you need bread for it. The mini cheeseburgers come with Gruyere cheese (a sign of a great establishment). The pizza is made from a stove oven, if you are with 3 or 4 people you could also order one as an appetizer for a small taste that will leave you wanting more. The scallops in lobster broth with gnocchi were unbelievable. The jumbo lump crab spaghetti was generously filled with fresh crab pieces that were sure to leave any seafood lover like me wanting more. I have yet to try dessert or breakfast from this place, I have heard all great things from others. I can honestly say i wanted to hate this place, I wanted to miss Bazzini, but not even in the slightest did that happen, I welcome Sarabeths to TriBeCa with open arms...

    We're giving this 3.5 stars. overall, our group of four had a great time having an early lunch on a Monday at Sarabeth's. We arrived at about 11:30, and the place was almost empty and we practically had the entire gigantic place to ourselves. And the space - that's the best thing about this restaurant. It's so vast and full of light, and impeccably clean. (I imagine I might not feel that way on a Sunday afternoon when it's full of people and screaming babies). And the wonderful murals - we think they're splendid. I'm thinking about the big painting of a lovely rustic market overflowing with bread and luscious produce - a painting that fairly overflowed with joyous abundance. But the food was not that impressive. We ordered the french toast, the burger and fries, the fritatta (how do you spell this word?), the scrambled egg stuffed popover, and the muffins and preserves. And of that medley, the burger and fries were best. The runner up was the preserves (and the muffins were disappointing). The fritatta and scrambled egg dish were average. However, the service was warm and friendly and super-attentive (but then again, the servers outnumbered our group by about 4 to 1). We definitely plan to go again. We had a great great time, even though the food was just so-so. We'll just be ordering different things from the menu.

  • Brodi B.

    Food receives 4 stars, but the staff and the fact that they receive kids and strollers with open arms get 5+ stars! We had salmon poached eggs, farmer's omellete (ham, swiss, leek, potatoes), and french toast. All was very good, though +$12 for each. However, the price is worth it because the staff is exceptional and they truly want you and your little ones to enjoy themselves.

  • Kathy L.

    Really nice addition to the neighborhood. The great thing about Sarabeth's is that the restaurant is huge and it is easy to get a table. For people who don't like to wait - they are even on opentable. I've been to Sarabeth's twice and the brunch on both occasions was delicious! The coffee is strong and bottomless and on my very first visit, I even saw Pink the singer! Our favorite brunch dishes were: Popover Eggs Chorizo Frittatta Lemon and Ricotta Pancakes Almond French Toast We also tried the Popeye eggs (which were good but not great) and the Eggs benedict (normal) Most of the entrees come with some choice of bread - we had the pumpkin muffin which was VERY good, particularly with a spread of Sarabeth's Jam

    Service was exceptional and food was delicious! After reading some of the reviews online, I was worried that my friend and I would have to wait long for a table for lunch or that we would be met with rude staff. I was surprised that service by all the employees at the restaurant was professional and clearly focused on the customer. I ordered the hamburger and I loved the side of guacamole that was served with it. It also came with a HUGE order of fries. I wish the restaurant had a larger selection of cheese for the burger, though. The design of the restaurant is top-notch. It is spacious and family friendly. Its large enough so that my friend and I did not have to wait for a table at all. I will definetly be coming back!

    We came on 9/11 and were seated within 10 minutes because we had opentable reservations. It seemed like all the walk-ins were required to wait 30-40 minutes even though there were plenty of empty tables in the restaurant. Service was average but the food wasn't up to par compared to other Sarabeth locations. The English muffin that came with my eggs benny was dry and burnt on the bottom. It also could have used more hollandaise sauce. There were a lot of families and the noise level was worse than that of a kids' playground. My husband and I were seated b/t two families with kids. The baby boy on the left was crying so loud that all the nearby tables turned around to take a look. The two kids on my right were a little older but they kept kicking the booth seats that we shared, which was just as annoying.

    Great atmosphere. Service was wonderful. The food varies from visit to visit. I ordered the Goldie Lox over the weekend. It was not very good. Maybe I just was not fond of scrambled eggs, salmon and a lot of cream cheese being mixed together to form a meal. My friend enjoyed her granola and yoghurt. But you cant really mess that up can you?

    We arrive here around 930pm after dinner at a nearby restaurant for some coffee and dessert. We were welcomed by the host and an awesome server who was really friendly and attentive. We asked for recommendations and she recommended us a few desserts. From the coffee, to the taste and presentation of the desserts, everything was fabulous. Can't really say much about the food since I've never had dinner or brunch here but accordingly to my cousin who lives in TriBeca, it's sooo good~!! ^^

    This location feels almost like a cafeteria--it's so big and although they try to make it feel breezy and light, the overall feeling is reconverted Ikea store. Also, so many screaming children. Crawling out of strollers, throwing Cheerios around, etc. So while the ambiance definitely leaves something to be desired, the food and drinks are legitimate and what we've come to expect from Sarabeth's. Great muffins, perfectly cooked eggs, big-gulp of a Bloody Mary (although more quantity over quality.) So decent option, especially if you're hosting families with kids. But not the location for a boozy brunch and hours of lingering.

  • Itsy B.

    Not impressed with the food. I WAS impressed by the service. Food, however, was average. Very, very crowded and you WILL want to make a reservation. Again, can't speak highly enough about the service. Excellent. Just wish the food matched up to the top-notch service. I would go back because we were treated so well, but the food definitely would not be the reason I'd return.

  • Diane L.

    The Sarabeth's in TriBeca needs to work on their service - this is more a product of being newly opened hopefully and having to train their staff appropriately. If you come early in the morning for breakfast, the staff is new and slow.. seems like even getting a muffin can be very complicated. At lunchtime, service is better.. the food is just as great as the other locations (tomato soup and shrimp risotto) altho similarly overpriced probably. The environment is comfortable - large and spacious with nice lighting and quite casual. Service is not rushed even during lunch hours which is nice.

  • Travis L.

    Phenomenal. In one word this is how I would describe my most recent visit. I ordered the Garden and my girlfriend the Farmers omelet and to top it off we both ordered the Bloody Marys. Everything was perfectly seasoned and I must say the Bloody Marys were exquisitely fresh.

  • Manuel C.

    This review and the stars are based on brunch experiences. Did dinner there once - and will never go back for that again. ) stars for dinner. BUT: Brunch...completely different story. Always packed, always busy - and always good. If you can be a well mannered stalker: Come on the weekends around 11:30 and you may catch Pink! and her family. If you can't behave - go to De Niro's 'tribeca grill' and bother him. Lemon pancakes, omelettes, baked goods, mimosas - all are yummy. My new favorite would be the salmon eggs benedict - delicious from the first to the last bite. If you don't like pepper, steer clear of the fries. Yes, they are a little pricey and wait can be a bit, even with reservations. But...being the food whore that I am...the 4 vs. 5 star decision is food based. I absolutely LOVE their scones. And - gasp - last time we went they were out. At 11:30. Shame! But...what got me was the comment our waitress made (something along the lines of '..yeah, everyone loves them. we've been running out early for the last few weeks...') = rule of thumb: if you're a sweets dealer, don't get people all hooked on your supplies and then artificially limit the supplies. Big no-no. No 5th star - I ran out of that one a few weeks ago. Ka-pow. Bazinga!

    It's October 12th and for the last four days the weather in New York has had some serious identity crisis thinking it's Spring. Trying to enjoy the nice weather as much as I can, I thought of going out for some drinks and appetizers last night, after work. We picked Sarabeth's Tribeca. They had plenty of outside seating, which did not seem crowded but rather clean, relaxed and inviting. We set on one of the tables outside and ordered a couple of raspberry lemonade-vodka cocktails, and got some appetizers. We got the: - Calamari with spicy tomato sauce and garlic aioli - very nice - Mussels and Matchstick Fries in saffron curry cream - excellent - Braised Short Ribs with beech mushrooms - superb Extra plus for the polite and attentive service. Overall 4.5 stars, and I'll have to come back for a full meal.

    The space is great. It reminds me of an old style ice cream parlor. However, the food is just mediocre. I had the salmon, which was drab. It was served on pillow Uncle Ben's style white rice, which is the wrong texture for the dish. At The Odeon (I compare everything with the Odeon), the salmon is served on a pillow of sushi rice, which works much better. Also, at the Odeon, the salmon is served with baby bok choy, which is a great accompaniment. After living in TriBeCa for a year, I've arrived at the conclusion that the only place worth dining on entrees under thirty dollars is The Odeon (and, for a couple of dishes, TriBeCa grand).

    Really not a fan- this place lives on their name and quality does not match the hype, prices, or wait at ALL. The dining room was lovely and large- I will give them that- and the back private room looked nice for a private event. Our waitress seemed to have no knowledge of the menu (my friend asked for a "fruity" drink and she offered nothing- later we see the 5-fruit drink on the menu- would have been a perfect suggestion). Our food (pancakes, French toast) came out over a half hour later and both were lukewarm. Never got our sausage we had ordered. Sent back the lukewarm food which took FOREVER to return and still no sausage and waitress never checked on us!! We finally had to call over the manager over who apologized and comped some items, which was appreciated. Waitress still never asked us if everything was ok, and 5 mins into eating my returned meal (still NOT HOT), another waiter asked if I was finished. Overall very strange, slow service and average food. Will not return.

    The best thing about this place is the space and the jams that made Sarabeth's famous as the brand deserves to be- the jams are truly delish! I came here for Brunch, Lunch and to take things to go. Brunch: Other than the fact that there were WAY too many kids in this place, the brunch was nice, good food, we had a friendly albeit a little dumb (sorry) waiter and the space was filled with light- I always loved this building... Lunch- My lunch was cold and unappetizing To-Go- I was going to my cousins for dinner and wanted to bring yummy homemade yummies to her house. The desserts were OK at best (brownies, cherry tart, pecan tart and chocolate chip cloud cookies) and since i was so tempted I got a regular choc chip cookie and a coffee to have as soon as I jumped in my home- the coffee was horrible and cold and was $4.00 for a regular gross cup of joe? My bill for the above was outrageous- I will never go there again for desserts- no one raved about anything in that box! I was so disappointed I spent $50 for nothing- I could have spent half at whole foods and gotten more raves! OK for Brunch would never go for anything else- and I forgot to mention that I was waiting to pay for my expensive mediocre pastries for over 15 minutes, they could not figure out that a tart was not $25.00 and it took them a LOOOONG time to adjust the bill.

    I went to brunch with my daughter and enjoyed peach bellinis and the red pepper and chorizo frittata. It was served with a choice of muffins, scones or toast. We chose the muffins upon recommendation from the waiter, who was very friendly and helpful. Everything was delicious and the atmosphere was energetic and fun. I would definitely go again and recommend it to friends.

  • Irene L.

    meh is the word to describe this place for sure. slow service and overpriced, lukewarm food. a basically underwhelming brunch experience. there are far, far better places in Manhattan and Queens for tasty, decently priced brunch options. such a shame since the space seemed very lovely: large, open and clean minimalist decor. we had a large party of 20+ people for a friend's b-day brunch party, so I understand that a wait for entrees is to be expected, but timing was ridiculous. not only did we wait close to an hour for food, but three of the people in our party (two had ordered pancakes and the third had ordered a burger) got their food over half an hour after the rest of our table had already received their entrees. the waiter did offer them a complimentary basket of muffins, but seriously, their meal should have been comped for how long they had to wait for their food. as one person joked, what are they doing, killing the cow for your burger? many of the dishes at our table already arrived cold to lukewarm. a few people ordered the steak and frites upon the server's rec, but many complained that the steak was too dry and tasted as if they had been under a heat lamp for awhile. i ordered the farmer's omelette, which was tasty for what it was (leeks, potato, ham, cheese), but I was not very impressed with size and temperature (lukewarm). for the omelets, you have your choice of a muffin, scone or toast. of course, they had pumpkin muffins (love love pumpkin-flavored anything), so of course I chose that option. the muffin itself was fine but like everything else, it arrived cold. i would not return. $14.50 for a lukewarm omelet and $4 for a cup of coffee was too much. I'll take my brunch cravings elsewhere and suggest you do the same.

    I came here for brunch during the weekend and drinks during the week. The dinner/night-time crowd was very low key and down to earth which I liked so I decided to come back for brunch during the weekend since the menu online looked scrumptious. Anyhoo, the brunch crowd was filled to the brim with queen bees and wannabes in addition to older versions of their crowds....the trophy wives. Other than that, the place was very homey, cute and perfect if you want to have an expensive boozy brunch. The food was delicious and their mimosas were to die for. I believe they mixed in a few different types of fruit juices that really matched up nicely with the bubbly. I tried the lemon ricotta pancakes and my sweetie had the fat and fluffy french toast with homefries. THE HOME FRIES WERE AMAZING. I would recommend showing up for a LATE brunch...like around 3 (their brunch ends at 4) because the crowd really dies down around that time it really is a nicer place when it is quieter.

    Come here once a month to grab brunch. Love the atmosphere and general brunch options. They are always busy during brunch however they try to accommodate you even if you don't have a reservation. Service is pretty good considering every single table is full. If you want top notch service though, try coming in during lunch or dinner during a weekday, it's very nice.

    Sorry I really wanted to like this place but maybe it's just not the place for dinner. We went there for thanksgiving. a prix fixe $60 per person menu and my mouth was watering with choices of scallops, filet mignon, and turkey as entree. we had reservations and were seated within five minutes. our waitress was not very personable. probably because it was thanksgiving and she didn't want to be there. unfortunately, when we got there just after 7 they had already ran out of the scallops. the filet mignon tasted like regular tough new york steak, and the turkey though moist was pretty tasteless. i've heard good things about there brunch so maybe sarabeth's should just stick with that.

    i probably walked by this place a dozen times in tribeca before daring to give it a shot, after coming across the name of this chain many times but often with mixed reviews. i love brunch and always looking for new great places. Despite all the bad reviews, i have to say sarabeth tribeca is pretty good. you can taste the quality of the ingredients they used in their dishes, which are very well put together. The space itself is spacious and have an inviting feel, and it's generally pretty busy on sundays; but since it's a big place, it's not a horrendous waiting affair you'd find at clinton st or norma's. Just the kind of a laid back place you would hope to find in tribeca. I definitely recommend this place.

    I miss the old Bazzini here... Granola + fruit + yogurt, not Greek yogurt, and too little the yogurt they give... French toast, add apple sausage... ahh... the sausage tastes good! Toasts are okay... portion a lit bit too big Garden omelet, mediocre... Very expensive given the food as they listed on the menu. coffee is $4+. Service is good.

    I have been to the Sarabeth's on 59th Street 2-3 times, the one on the Upper East Side maybe 10 times and to the newer Tribeca location 4 times. I've always had mixed feelings about this place. Yes, it's pricy and overhyped but I've come to love the Tribeca location. Get there on the earlier or later side for weekend brunch to avoid the parade of children. Though it can be fun people watching... The moms with big diamond rings and the bratty kids in designer attire makes me chuckle. The quality of the food is great. I love trying their different biscuits and jams and their coffee is good which is a rare treat for a brunch place. My favorites are the currant scone with mixed berry jam and butter, the scallion and cream cheese eggs with popover (so good), their fresh squeezed orange juice (just $7). My friends and I have also enjoyed the burger, pancakes and the delicious Seafood Cobb Salad. I don't recommend the Lobster Roll it's a very small portion and not flavorful enough. Go to Mary's Fish Camp for good lobster roll.

    We arrived at 1:30pm on a Sunday looking for brunch. The place was packed with an average sized line. However, the place was pretty big and hostess stated that it was a 15 mins. wait for 2 adults and a child. The wait was truly approximately 15 mins. Place was semi roomy so strollers are semi welcomed, but best if you don't bring the stroller or at least an umbrella/compact stroller. They do have an area where you can leave the opened stroller in the front, fits a couple or more if folded. Better if you bring just the carrier (car seat) for under 8 months if you drive, otherwise since the baby can sit up on their own, they can sit in the highchair. Great recognition system, whatever they use or strategy they use. They only ask your name and # in party. When they had seats for us, they came up to us and confirmed with the name and asked us to follow, while we were randomly standing in the room anywhere waiting. They knew/remembered exactly who is who. I watched them leading many parties to their tables. Everyone must be present to be seated. The choices of the brunch menu was average, not too little nor a lot of choices. However, I thought the prices were deeper in the pocket. Brunch with eggs don't come with anything but a muffin (many varieties) or toast. No drink, juice, or anything. They had lunch brunch menu ranging from sandwich to entree to salads. Everything was pretty much a la carte. They also had 6 children brunch choices, 3 breakfast items, 3 lunch items (available only after 3pm I think). I had the garden omlette (mushroom, peas, cheese), $15; four flower juice $7; partner had a cheese omlette, $14; coffee $4; baby had children's brunch of pasta (elbows) with tomato sauce, $10 (very pricey considering the portion was supposedly to be children's (about a bowl and a half of maybe a normal 6-8oz bowl size). They also have fresh bakery/pastries.

    A nice atmosphere in TriBeCa for Brunch. There's a ton of seating and the food is pretty good to boot. Only reason for the average star rating is that they are on the expensive side. Average $17 a plate and $10 a cocktail for brunch is just a tad bit pricey for moi. If you don't mind the price I would definitely recommend it.

    Terrible service. I had a reservation for 2pm and wasn't sat until 2:25. When my friend went to check on when we would be sat, she was told we were next on the list. "on the list" is an odd statement since we had a reservation, but whatever. They then called 3 other parties before us. There was no apology for the fact that we had to wait so long after our reservation time. We were sat at a table that was filthy underneath. 3-4 crumples napkins and a discarded, crumpled water bottle. I felt like I was eating on a subway platform. The food was pretty good. Worth the prices if they had the rest of their act together. Ultimately there are other tasty options that are much more pleasant to visit.

    This is a cute place but dont go at lunch time, unless yesterday was an unusual day. The place was filled with screaming babies and unruly preschoolers with obnoxious mothers insisting the wait staff bring crayons immediately and rush their darling children's food right out this instant. (advice- bring crayons,leave the kids home, go to McDonalds). The wait staff is saintly in my opinion. The salad I had was fine, the coffee was fine but I doubt I will ever go there again.

    I finally had the chance to have a sit down meal at Sarabeth's! I was always a fan of their granolas, and jams and now I'm a fan of their food. This location is super big and super busy filled with a nice crowd. The service was great , and we didn't have to wait too long for our food although we were a group of 8 on a busy Sunday afternoon. The coffee kept flowing which is always great. First came out the basket of muffins with butter and raspberry jam , yum yum yum I love a good muffin and my favorite was the raisin bran muffin. Then came out the papa bear porridge, which was delicious. Then I tried the smoked salmon on toast with cream cheese which was super fresh, mild , and delicious. Afterwards I tried the french toast which was amazing and I'm not even a fan of french toast. Last arrived my seafood cobb salad which had great yelp reviews but I just did not like it, it was definitely my least favorite of the meal. Overall we had a great time and meal here!

    I love Sarabeths. The food is dependable, a little pricey but good. The Club Sandwhich is amazing as well as the Lemon Ricotta pancakes. The TriBeCa location is beautiful and spacious. My only complaint is all the children...GIANT strollers exploding everywhere. If I'm paying $17 for a club sandhich I do not expect to have screaming kids playing hide and seek in the designer banquettes behind me. I would give this place 5 stars but Im afraid the kids are here to stay!

    This is the 3rd Sarabeth's location I've tried and quite possibly my new favorite! It's a huge space with plenty of seating and much more of a family atmosphere than the other locations I've been to (quite evident by the stroller parking lot outside!). I don't mind being surrounded by adorable yuppy tribeca babies, I actually kind of like it...but I can see why others may want to avoid this location. We started out with the traditional mimosas, served in large wine glasses instead of champagne flutes, giving us much more than the standard mimosa serving! We always split the (INCREDIBLE) tomato soup and this time I really appreciated that they divided it into two bowls for us! It made it so much easier to eat! Our french toasts were delicious as always! Our waiter must have overheard me wish my boyfriend a happy birthday when he delivered the mimosas, as at the end of our brunch he brought over a delicious chocolate cupcake with a candle! I truly appreciate the great service we received at this location! We'll definitely be back soon, hopefully for a little less gluttonous brunch!

    Went here for lunch and really enjoyed my experience. The service was friendly but a bit slow, considering there weren't that many people. There were some children but the space is big enough that you can go here for a business lunch and not get too distracted. My food was pretty good but I thought the chicken sandwich could have had a bit more flavor. I also enjoyed the 4 flower juice, probably the best part of my meal. I can't wait to try brunch here though, the omelettes looked delicious!

    i do not understand the sarabeth's hype. i've been to two locations and was not particularly impressed. there was a 35 minute wait for four of us at this location on a sunday, despite the restaurant being HUGE. staff is friendly and pretty prompt, but the food was basic and not particularly outstanding. the farmer's omelette was just okay, the eggs are a bit on the overdone side and the fillings are nothing i couldn't make just as well on my own. omelettes come with nothing except a choice of bread. the famed scone was hard and sort of stale. i also tried the mama bear porridge, which i did like, especially with the fresh cream. but $9 for essentially a bowl of oatmeal with some raisins is pretty steep. "meh. i've experienced better."

    The tomato soup at Sarabeth's is amazing. The crab spaghetti I got was not as good, as it had a slightly fishy aftertaste. Still, the entire experience was great. Our waitress was polite and service otherwise was attentive as well. It's a beautifully styled restaurant, and definitely a great place to go for brunch.

    We adore this place for breakfast and brunch. I have been going to Sarabeth's since it was just the one original Upper East Side location and now it is fantastic to have multiple locations. This is one of the tastiest breakfasts you can find in NYC and most people who live in the city have been to one of the Sarabeth's multiple times. I always order the lox and eggs and then somehow find some room for the lemon ricotta pancakes (unless we order the french toast?!). Don't forget the four flowers juice- not sure how they make it but wow is it good.

    3.5 stars went here for brunch.. eggs were cooked perfectly, great service Bloody Mary is huge and delicious.. mimosa.. eh! Ambience leaves something to be desired, and it is a little expensive for brunch, we paid 200$ for a party of 4.. 4 entrees, 4 drinks, 4 coffees..

    Visited for Sunday Brunch and was very disappointed. While the atmosphere was nice, we were seated right next to the bathrooms and treated to very bland food and mediocre service. We had the popeye eggs and chorizo frittata. Both ok, but very little flavor and certainly not worth the price. And our waiter seemed put out to be serving us. We won't be back.

    ZERO STARS IS WHAT I REALLY WANT TO RATE THIS PLACE!!! i had to put 1 start just to get my review on. My sister had dinner at this restaurant and became violently ill after eating their scallops. She informed the restaurant. After she continued to be violently ill in their restroom, they were 'kind' enough of remove her meal from the bill. They didn't care enough to make sure she was to get home safely. When I called to speak to a manager, the 'manager' to complain how my sister was not cared for after being food poisoned in his restaurant. He said, "we weren't sure that it was our food that made her sick". ARE YOU KIDDING ME??? She only started vomiting after she ate the food. Beware of this poor customer service & lack of taking responsibility. DISGUSTING!!!

    A few missteps in the service occasionally, but always very happy to correct it. Overall, Sarabeth's has become a great place for us to go in the neighborhood. Brunch is very crowded, but you can be assured that everyone will find something on the menu and they are very family friendly. I'm most surprised by how quiet it is at dinner. The dinner menu changes seasonally (at least it has so far) and the portions are very generous. We have always found the dinner food to be great. They were also very happy to accommodate some vegan friends who said the food they specially prepared was delicious.

    Not sure what the hype is about. Basic deli type omelette with cold hard muffin. Crying baby in what appears to be the kids section was icing in the cake! New Yorkers don't know when to take their kids outside!

    I have visited Sarabeths twice. The first time i went we were well looked after, the food was great, but expensive for lunch....but the stroller brigade have found this place...and we were surrounded by childrens birthday parties....Is this the new Bubby's...? The second time we sat outside...really poor service and the omelete was very mediocre...the fries were overcooked and cold and the latte was luke warm....I was so hoping this would be my next favourite brunch place as i live in the area.....and very much miss Bazzinni.....maybe time will sort this all out...the restaurant is big and open and has a great vibe.....i just wont return in too much of a hurry....

    WAAAAYY too hyped and expensive; Sarabeth's is just riding on their reputation nowadays. I was here this past Sunday for brunch and had coffee, salmon eggs benedict and an extra croissant - all of which added up to $30 after tax and tip. Coffee was good, salmon was ok, the biscuit it was on tasted like they had left it outside all night, and my croissant was the same! The cardboard pastries totally killed my meal. Another person I was with also mentioned that their croissant was a dud.

    I've always passed by this restaurant in Tribeca, and I've always told myself to try it out. But honestly I was a bit turned off with all the reviews, but then I decided to try it out anyway and I can't disagree more with some of the harsh critics because I LOVE THIS PLACE. First, the ambiance is perfect for brunch, and the drinks are great and the foods are even better. I had the Maine Lobster Sandwich, and I devoured it within minutes because it was just too delish and I'm actually drooling thinking about it. I really recommend this place!

    I walk by this place all the time and finally decided to stop in solo for breakfast on a Friday morning around 10am. To sum it up, I won't be back. The place was nearly empty except for a few bored housewives with their toddlers and a few European tourists, yet the service was horrible. I sat at the bar and the bartender (shorter woman with dark curly hair) was beyond unfriendly and seemed like she couldn't be bothered...yet she seemed to have plenty of time to gossip and laugh with the other staff. She was very attentive to the 2 European business men next to me - discrimination maybe (I'm an Asian female)? Despite the fact that I always tip 20+% even if I get bad service, maybe she thought she would get a better tip from the white men? She was stoic, no please or thank you, never filled up my water despite it being empty my whole meal, threw down my plate and my bill with not so much as a grunt. On to the food. I ordered the classic eggs benedict and it came out cold. Once again, the place was practically empty, so no reason for this. The sauce was too lemony, and tasted like a mystery/special sauce you would get at a diner. However the salad that came on the side was very good, whatever dressing they used was tasty. The Canadian bacon they used was also good, the the eggs were perfectly poached, but the sauce and the coldness factor just killed the dish! I'll take my time and money elsewhere.
