I wish we had come here a lot sooner! My husband and I were looking for a place to "brunch" and walked past this place. It was open so we went it....it was a great decision! I love the menu it's small, which is helpful for narrowing down your choices. It's a typical Brunch menu but they're not trying to be pretentious about it. Everything looked great and I couldn't decide between 3 dishes! I had the Chicken and Waffle(perfect size and generous!) and my husband ordered the Chorizo Hash. WOW! It's been a while since I've been impressed by a restaurant and we are definitely adding The Penrose to our restaurant repertoire. The food was so good that I was so satisfied and honestly, I couldn't find anything to complain about this place! The decor is very charming with a relaxed environment, the service was awesome! I recommend this place BIG TIME! Great food, awesome ambiance and great service! Keep it up!
Amazing food! We ordered avocado toast with poached egg, bacon and oyster burger and French toast sticks, everything was delicious. For drinks mimosa and beer, the staff was very friendly and the ambience was cozy.
Delicious brunch food and drinks in a casual dining space. I loved the decor and vibe. I tried the breakfast burrito and a bloody Mary. The burrito was amazing.
Killer environment. Great service staff. Classy crowd. Food is on point. Drinks are even better.
My daughter and I visited The Penrose yesterday. The food and drinks were delicious. The only thing that was annoying me was my martini should not have been in a champagne glass. However my martini was great. Food wise the Buffalo brussel sprouts are a must have.
Wonderful food, great drinks and truly lovely atmosphere. One of the best spots to catch up with old friends or just relax and enjoy oneself.
Great place....the best part it's a 'locals' place ...brunch was amazing and our bartender, Josie, was amazing.....will definitely return ..
El Campeon might be the best cocktail that I've ever tasted! The food here is beyond delicious! I can't wait to go back! And it's right near the Second ave subway!!! Despite being part of a large graduation party in the back room... the staff was so attentive!! Our drinks were seamlessly refilled!!
Great downtown vibe, great food and drinks. Nice bartender.
Good food, friendly staff and excellent environment 👍🏻
Lovely little local place with groovy atmosphere, music and yummy food!
Jimmy the bartender couldn't have been more accommodating and adorable...�
The best mac-n-cheese I've had in a very long time! Delish!
Great place for brunch! Very roomy and spacious which helps with lesser wait times on the weekends. The inside is very tastefully themed as well.
Their French Toast sticks are the most ingenious idea and they’re so delicious combined with their seasonal dip — that alone is worth coming here for.
All the staff was friendly and super mindful of anything we needed
Went there 11:20am on Sunday, a short waiting time around 10 minutes.
Egg Benedict is definitely great and tasty, French toast is good. The coffee is just average but it offered bottomless service.
Inside decor is nice, and service is above the average.
Overall I recommend this place and will go back again and try more dishes!
We visited during their brunch hours and had a brunch menu provided to us, as well. The ambience and decor was relaxing and had this Prohibition feel to it, which was fun. The staff was very great, and our server Matt was very kind, fun, and accomodating, so we really appreciated that. Their drinks were delicious, and their food was very flavorful. The location of the restaurant in East Manhattan made it very accessible and a fun spot to visit, too.
Great brunch ambiance! We spent a joyful morning sharing the French toast appetizer; sweet and perfectly golden brown bread. That pumpkin spice syrup was just a match made in heaven. I highly recommend the eggs Benedict, buttery bread with fresh salmon will make your day. Staff was really friendly and service overall was exceptional.
So good I got the burger and fries and it was actually fantastic. $28 so expensive for someone with no job 💀 I ate outdoors with my friends and we all really liked it. I also liked the inside when I went to the bathroom it was kind of a cool vibe only downside is that the sink has knobs and I think there was only a hand dryer which isn’t my personal preference but still 5 stars ⭐️
The best bar/restaurant scene on the UES.We found seats at the bar in the back where Max took great care of us. Great menu and food. The bang bang shrimp is heavenly. Highly recommend.
The food was great! And the atmosphere is very lovely. The staff are courteous and helpful. The sitting arraignment is great. I went at day time and it was ambient. I cannot comment on what it looks like at night but I have heard positive reviews about it in the evening.
For me travelling to NYC is not complete without a visit to The Penrose. I was first introduced to the bar in 2015 by a friend, I visited again in 2018, on each visit I was filled with good vibes from the staff and everyone around me, the atmosphere is so relaxing and welcoming. The food is simply great, whether you are veggie or full on meat eater there is something here for all food lovers. Beer from the tap is also top notch. Cant wait to visit again whenever that may be. Until then carry on being great!
