The Water Club in NYC
 
We've been invited to brunch at The Water Club on Sunday. Anybody been there? What to expect? ((b))

Good views, good food, good service....and expensive!

I'll agree with the good views and expensive - but I used to work near there and we used it often for company gatherings - and we never found the food more than mediocre.

Have never done brunch - only lunch and dinner though - and it's hard to do badly for brunch unless the staff is completely incompetent - so it should be OK. But I wouldn;t expect superlative.

Well, not superlative, but it was good. Cost $35 per person + tax + tip + drinks. Our bill came to $100 with 2 drinks. I'm sure we paid for the location.

The carving station had lamb & beef -- I've seen better. Loved the eggs benedict, selection of cheeses, jumbo shrimp, and oysters shucked in front of you as you walked thru the line.

I perused their dinner menu -- There's got to be better places for dinner. ((b))

Of course, there are, Budman. That's why I said "good" rather than "great"!

But did 'ja have a nice time??? :S-

Budman Apr 17th, 2005 03:31 PM

Nice time? Yes. It was a beautiful day, and we brunched with friends from Long Island who we met on a cruise a few years back. ((b))
