Still dreaming about my simple coffee, toast, scrambled eggs, and potatoes brunch from here. Worth every penny. Haven't tried anything else on the menu, but this was executed perfectly.

Danny Meyer, as always, you're my hero.

Unfortunately I can't give this place higher than 1 star. While the service was lackluster, the 1 star is actually for the quality of the food here.

I ordered a $17 bacon blue cheese burger that came with a side of home fries. Lets start with the home fries - it's literally two small red potatoes cut into fourths each. They put just enough cajun seasoning to give it a red hue but leaves it without flavor.

The burger was drier than sand and didn't have any flavor beyond the blue cheese, but it overwhelmed everything. The meat wasn't seasoned at all and I had to grab the salt + pepper to do it myself.

I paid $17 for a burger that had less seasoning/flavor than a McDonalds burger. Let that sink in for a second.

Boyfriend and I were driving around the city looking for parking at a restaurant we originally planned to go to, but in the end (being in the city and it being an extremely nice day) we couldn't find parking anywhere.
At this point, we were extremely hungry, but realized it was too late for brunch but still too early for dinner, we found parking in front of this museum.

The hostess was extremely nice and helpful, the waiters on the other hand (there were about 5-6 serving tables) were unorganized and disoriented. The hostess' job is to seat people, not take peoples order and walk back and forth from the kitchen..

The food: I ordered an omelette (it was alright..), toast came out really burnt (how do you mess this up!).
Boyfriend ordered the 'untitled' burger, which was burnt as well.
A plus for serving Stumptown coffee!!

Overall, we were hungry so it did fill us up, but never coming back here again.

Danny Meyer seems to be starting to monopolize on the museum dining market. Of course I can't really complain since I'm happy with his MoMA restaurants. Since I was at The Whitney where I am a member I decided to try out Untitled. I played it safe by ordering a burger.
While not the most health conscious choice it certainly was very satisfying. (I was later shamed by my mother who saw my instagram post. Follow me at @ad454 :-). I'm assuming the beef is some nice grass-fed variety of Pat La Frieda. Afterwards, i was so full I literally had no room in my stomach for anything else and decided to burn off the calories in the museum. Can't wait to go back and try their other offerings. The service was really helpful and attentive. Just how I like it.

My wife took me here for my birthday as part of a visit to the Whitney museum, and the waiters were nice enough, and the ambiance ok, but I got food poisoning from the burger with bleu cheese (the only thing my wife and I didn't share, as she didn't get sick and I did).  Luckily I made it through the museum before having to rush home and spend the next few hours of my birthday in the bathroom.

The breakfast croissant was pretty good, but the huckleberry pancakes which we shared were undercooked and literally runny when we cut into the center.

So, don't order anything too complicated when you have plans to do something other than go straight home 2 hours after your meal.

Ugh.  What happened to this place?  We had a very pleasant dining experience here some time ago so we decided to come back for brunch on Saturday only to find that the quality has slid downhill.

We ordered the Reuben and the grilled cheese sandwich.  The grilled cheese came out almost cold, which was a disappointment.  Service was pretty slow as well, at one point we looked around as we wanted to order other stuff from the menu and there wasn't anybody from the waitstaff on the floor, which was pretty bizarre.  It also took an eternity to run thru the process of getting/receiving/paying the bill.  Not sure if this place warrants a return trip.

6/30/2013

The guacamole and oat bread made my sandwich.  Yes, brunch menu.  Technically it was turkey with guac, but deli meat turkey.  So much sodium.  For a $14 sandwich, I didn't expect deli meat.  Also whomever provides their pickles is awesome.  The pair I got (although on the dilapitated and stingy side), were full of sugar and heat.  A very nice combination.

Had I my wits about me, it would have been a salad with a slice of that fantastic oat bread and poached egg.  During brunch you can get an egg with anything for $1.50.  I just thought, "ooh, guac!"  Hence the sandwich.

The restaurant is above decent for a museum eatery.  The menu is varied and the ingredients are somewhat local, if not regional.  The space is open and unobtrusive.  It's also a bit austere, but welcoming.  It was about two lamb tail shakes shy of warm.

I felt snubbed at first.  The hostess said she could seat me at the bar; I wanted a two spot in the hub of tables, so I could people watch and look at the sculpture on the patio.  When I was sat at the bar, I changed my mind.  I dined with a nice cast of characters.  Locals and tourists.  I think a museum employee or regular sat next to me (there was a sense of familiarity between he and the waitstaff), next to him was an older gentleman who ordered a soup and gave his waitress a napkin drawing.  Then there was the couple on the other side who just ordered coffee in order to recharge and schedule review.

Overall the service was pleasant and not overbearing.  Sitting at the bar affords you the opportunity to get immediate service if needed, but if you just want to collect yourself and slowly eat your sandwich and sip on your tea, you can do that too.

Keep in mind, if you don't want to see anything at The Whitney, you can get to Untitled without paying admittance fee.  It's a perfect museum mile restaurant or refresher spot.

Boy was this a disappointing experience. I came here during a weekend trip to the Whitney and ordered the rigatoni with chicken and smoked ricotta. The portions were very small, with plain grilled chicken with no flavor. It reminds me of the grilled chicken strips they sell at Trader Joe's. The ricotta was about a teaspoon full, and while it tasted great the size left me disappointed. The sauce was nothing to write home about either. There was also a piece of what looked like hamburger meat that had fallen into my pasta. I just picked it out and opted not to complain.

My dining mate went for the breakfast option with an omelet with chicken chorizo and basil. I tried their dish and echoed their sentiment. The eggs were tasteless and there was little chorizo or basil. The potatoes, while seemingly spiced, also seemed pretty tasteless. This meal had airplane food or pre-made and sitting out written all over it.

Given the prices and the pedigree of the place, I expected a lot more. We would have ordered deserts which looked good on the menu but we lost confidence already.

The one plus is the Kensington ketchup on the table.

7/5/2014

I had a black bean burger ($16). It was pretty ok but the black bean patty was to mushy. Portions are very small and it's too pricey for its quality.

4/18/2013

Pretty great option for a casual lunch in a culinarily sad pocket of the Upper East Side.

It's on the lower level of the Whitney, in the space formerly occupied by Sarabeth's. Somehow, they've made this Brutalist architecture seem homey and bright, with an accessible menu, friendly staff, and reasonable prices (for the neighborhood, anyway).

The schtick is that the menu looks like a diner's, but the quality is several thousand times better. So, lots of breakfast/brunch options, plus salads, sandwiches, and bigger entrees.

The poached eggs on cheesy grits were perfectly cooked, delicious, and huge. Even the lowly turkey sandwich is a thing of beauty. Stumptown coffee is great, and makes you glad your ordered dessert. (A fine chocolate mocha cake was recommended by the helpful waitress, in the absence of the too-good-to-be-true apple pie.)

8/6/2014

Absolutely horrendous service and food. They call themselves 'untitled' because they choose to remain anonymous. They ran out of burger buns, left us with stale sourdough. What food we did receive was unpleasant and poorly cooked (my burger was burned on one side, and raw in the center, despite having ordered medium). Whatever they served was bland and disappointing

The service was unpleasant, with waiters being impolite and not abiding by specific dietary restrictions. We specifically asked for no onions due to an allergy, yet here they came. Had we not noticed, an ambulance trip would have also been required. This cafe has the potential to be fantastic, as it is located inside of the incredible Whitney museum with so-so ambiance. Yet, squandered. After a lovely afternoon in the museum, better not eat here.

8/13/2013

"Untitled" is an apt name for this Danny Meyer museum stakeout. Not because it is a witty attempt at being the (so unoriginal) name of a work of art but because it severely lacks character and there is really nothing else you could "title" it.... My girlfriend and I went one rainy Friday to see the Hopper exhibit (a must see btw!) but we weren't aware the museum didn't open until 1pm that day. So with 40 minutes to kill in the barren wasteland known as the Upper East Side, we decided to venture downstairs to the restaurant and grab a bite.

Art is supposed to leave a resounding first impression. My first impression of this place? Crumbs. And a ton of them. The banquette where the hostess sat us was so cloaked with them that I thought it was the woven texture of the seating. That was until she bent down in front of us and started brushing them off. In front of us... and nonchalantly. To make matters worse, she did a shitty job because my girlfriend had to re-sweep 3 times before she deemed it safe enough to plop down.  

We were handed our menus and poured tap water and right when I go to take a sip, I see a long strand of brunette hair floating IN the glass. So we had crumbs and now we have hair. Lovely. Haven't even seen the exhibits yet and already I'm having a visceral experience from the textural stimuli!

Ordered drinks. Got a bloody mary. Came out pretty quickly. Nothing unique. Girlfriend ordered a cobb salad and I got the grilled cheese with mozz and added bacon ($5 upcharge).

My girlfriend said her $15 salad was "fine, nothing special". My grilled cheese was extremely dry (made me desperately want to drink my water except for the hair factor) and it only had 1 and half slices of thin bacon- really Danny? I'm sure your meat purveyor can do a little better than that. At $5 extra, you're blatantly fucking your customer.

Wrapped up lunch, paid the $47 tab and then had to go wait in the line that was going around the block in order to re-enter the museum. So wait, I just bought a $50 lunch and I'm not entitled a little break in the ticket line? Great hospitality! "Untitled" and unremarkable. Will not be back and I hope the new Whitney downtown has a better restaurant partnership.

5/19/2014

Stopped for a break before looking at the show.  A great place to regroup after a day of sight seeing.

2/25/2013

This restaurant has been bookmarked for awhile but I never found the chance to stop by. This Sunday after service my friend and I decided to give it a try. There was about a 15-20min wait at noon, but there are leather benches for you to sit on and pieces of artwork surrounding you, so it makes the wait bearable.

My friend ordered coffee and it came in a cute little jug with a paper topper as a lid. Her coffee jug was replenished every time she finished, so I have to say the attention to service is great. However the wait time is ridiculous for food. I ordered a cold salad and my friend poached eggs and grits. It took about 2 jugs of coffee before our food arrived!

Her poached eggs were basically hard boiled. There was no oozy gooey yolk flowing out once she popped her egg!! It was super disappointing. My salad was okay. I had chickpeas, red peppers, avocados and romaine lettuce. The apple cider vinegar was a bit too overpowering and I wish they had paired it with some sort of fat. It was also pretty overpriced at about $15.

Overall the food was subpar and food service was slow, but the wait staff is really friendly and great. I'm not sure I would return.

10/27/2012

Service was nice, but bad. My friend ordered a crepe and I ordered the kale salad.  It took about 50 minutes for the order to come out. It's not really clear to me why.  We then had to ask for the check twice and continued to wait for the check until the waiter came over about 15 minutes later to let us know that the "computer was rebooting." We gave up and just overpaid in cash.  

Kale salad was good, but not worth the wait.  It also comes with a stale dinner roll on the side.

Everything is overpriced as well. I'd skip it and look for better options elsewhere.

12/20/2012

Brunch review: I was disappointed: the service and the details were not anywhere near the standards I have come to expect from USHG restaurants.  For example, I had a sticky bun served to me on a coffee saucer, which was not only a coffee saucer!, but also far too small for the pastry.  This wasn't a big problem, but it is emblamatic of the attentiveness of the staff we experienced, which was not good.  For example, I watched our coffee sit at the bar so long before someone brought it to the table that I almost went to get it myself.

Food prep was not a lot better, omlettes were bland, and my neice had toast, which was just bread, in other words, not toasted.  We were also disappointed that the "preserves" served with the toast was apple sauce; not apple butter, which I would have been fine with.  I get that this may be a seasonal choice, but isn't the whole point of preserves that they are out of season, but "preserved"?

I did like the spartan and open space, and my bun from Bien Cut was outstanding!!!, but clearly the experience overall wasn't great.

8/3/2013

Beforehand, I was disappointed to learn they no longer offer their dinner menu. Nevertheless, I love the concept of a farm-to-table coffee shop. I was at the Whitney anyway for a late Friday and a nice place to eat right there was too perfect.

So, how was it?

We had an incredibly friendly, upbeat server. They have a fun, creative cocktail menu (I had a sip of my sister's Bloody Mary and I don't usually like them but theirs is quite good. Great kick, not so tomato-ey!). I got the ham, snow pea and scallion omelet. I was a little too dry/overdone but the cheesy grits on the side were wonderful. Perfect balance of cheese and a little pepper, nice texture. The raisin walnut toast (Orwasher's) was great. It's hard to compliment toast but I must do for theirs.

As a side, I couldn't resist a half order of the huckleberry pancakes. Good buttery flavor to the cakes and the plentiful berries offered a nice sweetness (but not too sweet). You don't even need the syrup!

So with generally great food, strong service and convenience of location and ambience, I still felt ... there was something missing. Maybe it was too empty feeling with less than 10 guests when we were there. I would be interested to see what lunchtime is like here. You really shouldn't be able to beat the pedigree, menu and concept. Museum dining is not always so exciting. Despite the something missing, I'll still root for Untitled and hope they still have pie next time I go!

2/22/2014

Like the ambiance but the food is so so. It's a good place to stop by for coffee or brunch in the area

9/5/2014

So disappointing. My mom and I wanted to grab a decent bite for lunch, and since we trust anything with Danny Meyer's name on it, and I remembered the original positive reviews, we thought we'd be happy. We were wrong. No one came by for at least ten minutes after we sat down, and then it took a further twenty minutes for our drinks to show up, and only after we asked why it was taking so long. When the food finally came, my order was wrong (grilled salmon instead of the salmon nicoise salad). I was starving, so I ate it anyway, and it was a sad, un-sauced, charred piece of salmon. I could tell my mom's grilled cheese was not gooey and proper. The whole things was just sad. I will say that they did comp the salmon, since it was wrong, and were very nice about it. I think they may be treading water until the Whitney moves downtown. Unless you're grabbing a coffee at the museum, I'd avoid.

8/21/2013

The food was delightful. I got the asparagus and mushroom omelette. So
yum and pretty healthy. It's great if you want a huge balanced breakfast because it game with Potatoes and toast. My friend got the huckleberry pancakes and they were AMAZING. I recommend that the most. Honestly, I had no complaints. The service is great. It deserves so many more stars on yelp. DEF make a reservation because it gets PACKED.

After spending an hour freezing in Central Park, we pretty much wanted to get to a warm place for a quick bite ASAP. So Untitled fit the number one criteria of being "right there".

The restaurant is accessed by telling the security you're going to restaurant, then walking down the stairs on the right. Saturday mid afternoon proved to be a busy time and my party of six was told it would be a 20 minutes. No probs, that gave us time to sit on heaters and thaw out. We saw some odd seating choices but whatever, we're thawing. When we finally get seated on the stained, already threadbare in places bench, we were greeted promptly. Our actual waiter was fine. The kitchen is so......... very......... slow......

Lizi C. on receiving a stale role on the side of the kale salad- I thought it was meant to be a fancy something but mine was also stale. bleh. Kale was good though ($15 salad). The pumpkin apple soup bowl ($7) was really tasty. The food was good but I wouldn't go out of my way to dine here again.

Im not sure if I would ever pick a museum cafe as a brunch spot, but boy was I proven wrong. Located in the Whitney, this place had a bit of a wait. It was well worth it though. Their waiting location already is great because it was indoors and there were benches.

Once seated, I started off with a coffee. It came in a gourd like bottle along with a small glass pitcher of milk. I'm not a coffee connoisseur but boy that coffee made an impression. However, the most impressive item I got on the menu was the lemon ricotta stuffed crepe with apricot jam. It changed my mind about ricotta completely because it was cooked perfectly. While the dish was quite large, it is completely memorable and non-regrettable.

With its high ceilings and simple decorations, this cafe definitely made a mark in my book. The food was incredible and the setting, comfortable. It definitely attracts the older customers and those with families. A reliable spot overall and I would definitely come back to try their other dishes.

6/9/2012

I like the twist on the diner concept, and this place has good coffee and good food to boot.

Worth it if you're planning on a day museum-hopping--it's attached to the Whitney and not too far from the Guggenheim.

7/29/2012

great food well priced... the service is touch and go.  If the manager is there then the staff is on point... if she is not there then i hope you have time.

anyway i keep going back because the food is always great

3/3/2013

Aside from the food poisoning I got here, I will rate this based on taste.

I ordered the cheesy scrambled eggs on toasted potato sourdough. It came with a side of cheese grits or home fries; I chose the former. The grits had this nice peppery kick to it, the type that gives a nice warmth in the back of your throat. The eggs were soft and creamy. The dish was good, but not mind-blowing; $12 for scrambled eggs mixed with a bit of cheese and a slice of sourdough is a bit steep, so based on price to taste ratio, I'll give this a 2.5-3.

Now, the bacon. I ordered a side of bacon here for $5. Easily the WORST bacon I have EVER eaten in my life. I was excited because just by looking at it, it looked extra crispy. But it smelled like plastic. Then, it tasted like plastic. It wasn't at all juicy, nor did it possess any typical bacon flavor. Put it this way, the cheapest bacon you buy at the grocery store had to be 10000x better than this. It was HORRIBLE.

Hours later, I had my head in the toilet. Not my idea of fun on a Saturday night. I will blame the bacon, but honestly, it could have been bad eggs, spoiled cheese, old bread, or bad cream that I added to my Stumptown iced coffee. But since the bacon was SO nasty, it will be at fault for my poisoning. Danny Meyer, you should be absolutely ashamed that you serve bacon this disgusting at one of your restaurants, and have the nerve to charge $5 for such shit. Immediately after my brunch, I thought about returning here to try the huckleberry pancakes, but now, I'm not so sure I want to ever step foot in here again.

4/26/2012

Had to wait what seemed like forever around noon on the weekend, so it might be a good idea to make a reservation or come earlier for brunch.

Artsy and cool space, very sunny and airy. I ordered the egg whites with spinach, chicken sausage, and home fries. My group and I also shared the french toast with apple butter. I would say that everything was tasty and prepared well but nothing to rave about. Was also displeased at the slow service, it took foreverrrrr to get our food after we ordered, and we were starving by the time it arrived! I was not pleased by that.

Nice to stop by if you're at the Whitney or in the area, but not worth making a special trip for.

4/22/2012

Dinner at 8:30 on a Saturday, with my wife. Reservations, and seated right away.
I took the advice of many, and off-menu'ed the pimento cheeseburger, which was very good, but notable was that the beef was cooked medium rare, as ordered. In fact, I feel like the burger's flavor was shouted down by the cheese and pimentos - maybe Untitled isn't putting the pimento cheeseburger on the menu on purpose! Anyway, it was good, but if I ordered it again, I might just trust the kitchen (God forbid we do that), and order the regular cheeseburger.
Wife had the chicken pot pie, which was made quite tasty by the celery root.
I ordered the brussel sprouts, which we enjoyed quite a bit, but man, were they salty. Over-salted, for sure. But ... we didn't mind. :-)
Salted caramel apple pie for dessert, since it was from Four-and-Twenty Blackbirds. Very good, but not amazing. The cold-brewed iced coffee was better.

11/19/2012

Stopped by with a friend on a Sunday late morning for brunch and was seated without too much of a wait. We split the cheesy scrambled eggs and the lemon ricotta crepes, both of which were pretty good but nothing that I found that was really special. The service was a bit slow but friendly. A solid meal before entering the museum, but probably not a place to otherwise make a special trip for.

12/21/2012

Decided to go here for brunch on a lazy Sunday.  Had visited Moma the day before and thought why not make it a museum weekend to get some grub at the Whitney.  Food was pretty good, nothing particularly outstanding about it though.

The service is very nice and attentive, however, with the amount of people eating at the place, the service tends to be slow.  We waited about 45 minutes for our plates to arrive, which was very disappointing.  When we checked in with the food, our waitress was very forgiving and noted they must have forgotten about our order in the kitchen.  At the end of the meal she gave us a free dessert as apology for the meal.

12/15/2012

I''ve always been a fan of museum eats, and this place is excellent. After walking through a rainy Central Park and a visit to the Guggenheim, I wanted a bite to eat before exploring the Whitney, and this place hit the spot.

Sat at the counter and the gentleman working there was very nice and gave some good suggestions at what beer I should try.  I ended up ordering the chicken burger (yeah, I know.. sounds boring right?).. well it was delicious! Fresh ingredients, lots of flavor.. I didn't miss red meat at all! Excellent place, will definitely go back! :)

4/25/2012

This review is for brunch/lunch.  Each time I have visited, the service has been great.

If I'm on the Upper East side, Untitled is my choice for breakfast/lunch.  Everything I've tried has been super delicious.  On to the specifics...

Huckleberry buttermilk pancakes- these are some of the best pancakes I've ever had!   They are fluffy with a little bit of tang from the buttermilk.  The huckleberry topping is outrageously good.
Bacon and cheese home fries- when feeling indulgent, this is a great choice.  The potatoes are a little bit crisp on the outside and creamy on the inside, the bacon is salty and yummy and the cheese is gooey.
Pimento cheeseburger on pumpernickel- this is a unique burger...if you enjoy pimento cheese try this one!  The cheese is very creamy and salty and the burger is  juicy.
Chocolate milkshake- a solid shake, nice and thick, diner style

Untitled reminds me of a diner, just a tad more upscale and refined.  A great choice for late breakfast or lunch, when it is less crowded!

8/20/2013

Great food. Although it was a little crazy figuring out where the entrance was if not also going to the museum.

10/28/2012

I must say I expected more from this place and I am putting 3 stars because it is very conveniently located in the Whitney Museum which I really like.

First, I agree with some reviews below: they do an awful job at managing their seating and I saw a lot of 4 people tables occupied by just one person very slowly sipping on their one cup of coffee while gazing at whatever was in front of them or checking their smartphones. That's a bit frustrating when it's rush time for brunch and you have quite a line of parties of 3, 4 or more.

Food was good, but definitely not great. It's a Danny Meyer managed place and I think his brand is a bit overused. Burger was good but at that price there's a lot of competition around. My smoked trout BLT was ok but lacked a bit of more inspiration. The kale salad was good but certainly over-priced at $14. Desserts were so-so.

The space could be improved to look a bit less cafeteria like given the prices. Sometimes it's better because of the adjacent space that may be taken over by some exhibition.

So all in all, fine but I wouldn't rush back there yet.

8/4/2012

Q: What's better than UWS  Sarabeth's?
A: Her UES sister, Untitled.

One simple direction.
Lemmon Ricotta Crepes.

8/13/2012

Wow, I am totally perplexed by the other reviews here.  After two visits, I am sour on this place.

The menu is uninspired and average- i can think of 10 burger places within 20 blocks that are better, the appetizing is no where near as good as Sable's which is 5 blocks away, and the breakfast is a weak version of Sarabeth's (actually, it's a weak version of the Green Kitchen which is 6 blocks away, 1/2 the price and much better).  None of the desserts are made on site, and they taste it. The pricing seems high to me, most items are in the same range as Sarabeth's or Norma's which are high end breakfast places; the quality of the food is more on par with a diner which is 1/2 the price.  The space used to be beautiful when it was Sarabeth's- now it is spartan and ugly.

The biggest issue with this place is the service.  The line for a table on the weekend is an hour or more, even at off hours- and as you wait you see that 25% of the tables are unoccupied but not cleared.  It is not understaffed- you watch the hipster wait staff sit behind the coffee bar chatting and ipading.  Yesterday was we sat for a 45 minute wait with 15 other parties, the group determined that there was adequate space for all of us to be seated if they just cleared the empty tables.  When you are finally seated they are slow to attend to you, unfriendly and inaccurate when filling your order.  Worse yet is that both times I have been here my food has come out cold; I suspect I waited as my ready food sat in the window waiting for pickup.

Number two is the coffee which is not very good.  I think that they use high quality beans, but it tasted old and burnt.  Again, staff that doesn't care and does a bad job.

I used to be a Meyer fan, but he's changed his stripes- I remember going to 11 Mad and Tabla for unique, well prepared food with great service.  Now it seems he wants to be a high end McDonald's- pumping out expensive, average quality food for the masses.

6/22/2013

Obsessed with Untitled for brunch. I bumped into this place a few months back and had the huckleberry pancakes and was hooked. I come here once every weekend and its perfection. You can sit at a table or at their countet. They also have pastries on display. The quality of the ingredients is outstanding. Service is great and they serve stump town coffee. But really for me its all about the pancakes and their ham, egg and cheese croissant which I sub bacon in for the ham. It's so delicious. My fav brunch place on the UES.

1/10/2012 Updated review

While the wait was a little longer this time (25 min), and the waiter was a little bland, the food was alot better this time around. The first time, I got buttermilk pancakes(which were fabulous), but this time per our waiter's recommendation I got the aged gouda grilled cheese.O--M--G.

It didn't come with a side, but it didn't need one as I couldn't finish the whole thing. The bread alone was rich and thick, and it seems as if they piled four layers of cheese on each side. Biting into it was like a taste of cheese euphoria- I highly recommed it.

I split the red velvet cake with a friend--not impressed. But perhaps after a heavenly taste of gouda cheesy goodness everything else seemed pale in comparison ;)

One last thing- these serve  Stumptown coffee. Enough said- gotta love stumptown:)

10/15/2011

For a cafe inside a museum, this is pretty stunning.  Some of the best brunch I've had in NY (ok its Danny Meyers') for a reasonable price and with very good coffee (for restaurant coffee).  Beautifully poached eggs, nicely toasted toast, house made butter and jam, and the cheese grits = awesome!

Service was very good. My friend asked about the pastries (not on the menu) and the server went down the list, also answering where the pastries were from.

Yum Yum!

8/22/2011

Well, we all know restauranteur Danny Meyer  knows what he's doing. Untitled goes beyond the expectations for a museum cafe. Although the look isn't new, it feels contemporary -baked goods line the bar and specials are written in chalk behind it.

For breakfast/brunch get:
Cheesy Scrambled Eggs on Sourdough-from Scratchbread with a side of cheesy grits (to see photos go to my profile and click on my blog website)

The crowd ranges from old Upper East Siders looking for a casual, hearty breakfast to museum go-ers of all ages. Ingredients are locally-sourced and you'll be impressed by the homemade marmalade they serve to each table at breakfast. Service is efficient and fast. Don't be fooled by the paper menus and affordable prices...this place has it all figured out and tastes expensive!

*Make a Sunday morning of it and knock out the museum and restaurant in one visit.

9/9/2011

Went to brunch here today with a friend from CA that recommended it, and was pleased. Untitled has several things going for it:

*nice spin on comfort food done in a simple yet tasteful fashion
*gorgeous view of the courtyard
*great service

Had the cheesy scrambled eggs with home fries and was quite pleased. the bf had a BLT, which was also tasty. Water glasses never went empty and everyone was extremely friendly and polite.
