We came to Prune for brunch with very high expectations and left disappointed. The menu is diverse and well planned offering options for every palette. Prune is a restuarant that doesn’t place salt & pepper on the table but our dishes were universally under seasoned. The rosti potatoes were pasty and soaked with grease. Our service was standard but nothing meaningful. If you are planning on visiting for brunch I would recommend going somewhere cheaper because our experience doesn’t justify the menu prices

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.

Very enjoyable. A small restaurant with good food and service. The hamburger was especially delicious, however, the meat could have been slightly less salty but maybe that is just me. Anyway, I would definitely recommend.

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!

Mediocre food. Slow service. Overpriced for the quality of the food. Don’t know why they have good reviews. Tried the Dutch pancake which looked amazing but was too dry. The huevos rancheros was disappointing too. The eggs and the sauce were good but the dish was very badly prepared with some bland black beans, a slice of avocado and a few dry tortilla chips all tossed onto the side of the plate.

Cute place and high quality food. The menu options are solid. The only negative is that, although they do brunch and open at 10am, there’s no espresso based coffee.

Was able to walk right in and get seats at the bar before noon on a Sunday which was nice. However i think seeing the chef on Mind it a Chef over hyped it for me. I liked my plate, the coddled egg and the cup of coffee was actually quite nice. But I was not wowed and my BF’s meal was not well seasoned including the potato which was very disappointing.

We expected the spot to be exceptional – it is a haunter in many ratings and listings. And it is really good, actually. Bloody Mary is mind-blowing here, they gently serve it with a shot of beer. Pancake is a killer, delicious and nuuuutritious. A few things to consider – waiting time may exceed an hour; and space is cramped (like in all best places in NYC )
