The Water Club in NYC

We've been invited to brunch at The Water Club on Sunday. Anybody been there? What to expect?

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.

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

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.
