Description

Nestled in a vibrant neighborhood, this restaurant boasts an intriguing menu featuring delightful dishes, including standout brunch options like avocado toast and impressive cocktails. While the food garners praise for its quality and variety—highlighted by crowd favorites such as mac and cheese and dumplings—the service experience sharply divides opinions. Many diners report inattentive staff, occasionally marred by rudeness and sluggishness. Despite inconsistent service, the welcoming atmosphere, family-friendly vibe, and the restaurant’s charm make it a tempting destination for both casual gatherings and special celebrations. With some improvements, it has the potential to become a true local favorite.

I highly recommend trying the Mac and cheese - it's delicious! The service was friendly and excellent. I was initially disappointed when Gleasons closed, but the new owners have done a fantastic job of improving the atmosphere and updating the decor. I will definitely return. My only suggestion would be to add a few more items to the menu.

The atmosphere was fantastic! Our server was excellent! The food was delicious and reasonably priced! We can't wait to visit again when we are in New York next time! This place is definitely a hidden gem.

This neighborhood pub is fantastic! I absolutely adore their weekend brunch, especially the Avocado Toast and BBQ Pork Benedict. You have to try the Onion Soup Dumplings - they are delicious! And their $20 bottles of wine are a great deal.

This use to be Gleeson's, but it reopened under a new name. Great happy hour specials and the food was delicious. The staff was great in accommodating our group. Will definitely return!
