North Square - New York

North Square in NYC has long been a favorite spot for Sunday brunch, offering a civilized and comfortable dining experience with reliably delicious food. However, recent reviews suggest that the once beloved brunch menu has taken a disappointing turn. Complaints about mediocre chicken sandwiches and skimpy salads have left longtime patrons feeling let down. Despite these setbacks, the restaurant still shines in other areas, with excellent service, an interesting menu of sophisticated dishes, and an extensive cocktail selection. The intimate jazz band setting during Sunday brunch adds an extra layer of charm, making North Square a true gem for New Yorkers looking for a unique dining experience. With European charm, decent outdoor seating, and a quiet, friendly atmosphere, North Square remains a neighborhood favorite worth supporting, even in the face of challenges such as decreased business due to the pandemic. Guests staying at the affiliated hotel also rave about the dinner and brunch offerings, with perfectly cooked and delicious dishes that leave a lasting impression. Despite some recent missteps, North Square continues to offer a delightful dining experience for those seeking a taste of European elegance in the heart of Greenwich Village.
