Prune

A cute cafe serving elevated brunch food. I'm surprised the cafe has been around for 21 years and how did I just dined here, I don't know. To start, I love the decor of the place, from the subway tiled floor to the cozy table tops. The staff were great and attentive. They are strict about all the parties being present to be able to sit down, which is understandable since the cafe is tiny. My suggestion is to dine as they open for brunch, or to the end of brunch time because outside of those times, you will have to wait. The Bloody Mary menu for brunch was impressive with so many choices. My sister ordered the Danish Bloody Mary, garnished with anchovies and onion. It came with a chaser, which I thought was a bit odd, but when you sip the bloody and topped it off with the chaser, the Bloody was next level. Another plus was the Bloody was not salty. I ordered the fried oyster omelette and shared an order of potatoes rosti. The oysters were fried and breaded, mixed with the remoulade sauce and wrapped by a bright yellow omelette. A unique replay of a brunch staple with a twist. I enjoyed each bite immensely and cleared my plate. The table shared the Dutch styled pancake, which I was expecting a more traditional iteration, unlike what was served, which was similar to a regular fluffy American pancake. A traditional dutch pancake has a crepe like texture, thin in nature and takes in the syrup. The Prune version has a hard exterior texture, fluffy inside and the syrup doesn't absorbed in the pancake. As an American pancake, it was unique since the toppings were pears, but nothing spectacular and 2 pieces of ham, can do without. I would dine here again because other dishes caught my eye.

I came here last week for lunch and thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of my visit. The food, service and ambience were all top notch. The chefs at Prune take simple ingredients and turn them into big flavors. I’m excited to go back in the near future for dinner!

Everything about Prune was fantastic! The wait staff was kind, knowledgeable, and attentive to us throughout the full meal. The menu was fresh and exciting- I ordered the mussels and leek stew and my boyfriend ordered the branzino. We had broccoli on the side and all dishes were delicious. And I cannot forget dessert! The creme brûlée and dark caramel crouton with Ricotta ice cream were the perfect way to complete the evening. The ambiance is fun and inviting and overall Prune is a great choice for dinner!

Went for brunch to this adorable spot on the first warm spring Sunday. The wait was about 30 minutes. I am STILL thinking about the Fresh Ricotta (pictured) served with merveille (a beyond delicious variety of donut with a perfectly fried exterior and warm and cakey inside). The ricotta was perfect- creamy and light at the same time with raspberries, figs, honey, and pine nuts. Will go back here to order this again (normally not a creature of habit- but this dish is an exception!). My friend and I also each got a Bloody Mary. It didnt necessarily go with my entree but was also very good, the right amount of spice, and had lots of pickled veggies as garnish. The service we received here was very friendly from start to finish. Overall, can't wait to return!

I came here for breakfast and bought the $14 fried oyster omelette with a sweet remoulade sauce inside, served with a side of hot-sauce. The oysters were still crispy, the eggs were buttery and fluffy, and the staff was attentive and friendly. The only thing I did not like were the very tight quarters. It was not a very comfortable experience because of this.
