"Delicious and super cute spot for brunch with friends or family. Service is super quick once you get your table; however, it does get a little crowded near the host stand, even if you have a reservation. Their popovers are a must have and their omelettes are super fresh. Would definitely come back again."

"Sarabeth’s was packed and we didn’t have a reservation, but luckily there were seats at the bar and we were thrilled. The bar staff were so friendly and chatted with us while we tried our first-ever popovers. The food was fantastic. Our hotel recommended Sarabeth’s, and it’s easy to understand why."

"Once upon a time, Sarabeth’s was the place to go — a New York brunch institution known for consistency, warmth, and food that justified both the wait and the price. It built its reputation on being dependable and polished, the kind of place you confidently recommended to out-of-town guests. Unfortunately, that reputation no longer holds. What Manhattan restaurant waits until after you’ve finished your meal to inform you that their credit card machine is down, they only accept cash, and they can’t provide a receipt? For a brand that once prided itself on professionalism, this was shocking. The food took a long time to arrive, and when it did, it was underwhelming. Eggs Benedict used to be a safe bet here — a dish Sarabeth’s helped popularize — but that’s no longer the case. Our waiter, Issie, was okay, though it was surprising to be told that a 20% gratuity was automatically included, without any prior notice. The ambiance feels dated in a way that reads neglected rather than nostalgic. The bathrooms, in particular, looked like they hadn’t been properly cleaned since the early 2000s. Sarabeth’s seems to be coasting on its name and past glory. For longtime customers, that’s the most disappointing part."

"Sarabeth’s on the Upper West Side is a true NYC staple—perfect for brunch or breakfast classics. We sat outside and ordered the crispy chicken sandwich with gouda, which was huge and packed with flavor. Served on ciabatta with arugula and jam, it hit every taste bud—the perfect balance of sweet and savory. The fries on the side were crispy and delicious. We also had the spinach and cheese omelette—super fluffy eggs, light and right. Always a reliable go-to for a satisfying brunch."

"This is a great place to have brunch on the weekends and enjoy it with family or friends. The dishes are well served and very tasty, the recipe for the riccota lemon pancakes is a bit different than the first time I tried them, maybe less moist, but still good flavor. About the place, it is a classic NY place, however, they could take better care of the bathrooms. The attention and service of the waiter who served us stands out; very friendly and willing to answer questions and make recommendations (essential when you have children with you). In general, a pleasant experience."
