I had a terrific brunch at Ivy's Bistro in NYC. Drove around looking for a place for breakfast/brunch, and this one was open, looked inviting, and while I was looking at the menu the waitress walked to the door and invited me in. Hey, that's service!
I highly recommend the traditional Egg's Benedict - it's exactly what I want, with the slight twist that it was a thin slice of ham rather than Canadian bacon. The hollandaise sauce had the lemon tang I expected. The brunch potatoes have peppers, onion, and great seasoning, a little bit of spice. The service was first rate, and they also have a prix fix menu for breakfast that's not a bad deal. They're in Tribeca, and the ambiance was also terrific - a corner table with a view of the river and New Jersey was nice. (Hey, even Jersey looks nice from across the river...) I also liked the photos on the wall - appeared to be mostly Paris, but I'm not certain. All black and white, nicely framed and matted. Classic bistro. Loved it!
Highly recommended, worth seeking out. Ivy's Bistro.
