Unfortunately, I did not eat here but enjoyed a delightful cocktail (Pimm's cup) and was immediately drawn here as I was passing by afternoon time, it's got a very pleasant ambience and the service was top notch. I would absolutely be back next time I'm in the area.

I was here on a very busy weekend. Manager Jorge went out of his way to make sure our experience was great and that we were taken care of. He is very kind and professional. Green shakshuka was very good.

We had a great experience! The food was delicious and as we arrived early we didn't have to wait in line, by the time we left a queue was already starting to form! We liked a lot!

I think I read where the apps were good and the main courses blah. I agree. The food overall was fine. However the place was so loud it was like being at a frat house or children’s birthday party. The decor was hard to see and so was our wait staff. I absolutely will not be going back but don’t fret if u do go there. The food is not terrible although it’s really expensive!!! Almost $50 a head for lunch

Was very excited to dine here for the first time - until I walked in and saw a couple sitting at a booth by the door in the front of the restaurant, with a large dog policing their table. When did this become acceptable? Obviously, no concern for diners.
It's a 30 second walk to get here. good food decent service side "salad" aka, just a bunch of arugula...nothing else. I will be a returning customer but please fix your "salad".

Loud, but fun place for brunch! Food is delicious, but service can be a bit slow. But thays ok because it gives you a chance to enjoy the "clean" space, your dining companions, and not feel rushed. So while this *spinds* like a negative, it really isn't! The food is great for vegetarians, GF diet needs, and all!

Jack's Wife Freda has a few locations around New York. I'm not sure about the low rating because we had an awesome experience. We visited the Union Square location. The restaurant is airy, full of white tile, and has a very cool wooden skylight that floods the place with light. This is an all-day cafe type of setup, with breakfast/brunch/bistro. The breakfast offerings are the basics: fruit and yogurt, waffles, steak and eggs with fingerling potatoes, poached eggs. They also have green shakshuka with eggs, green tomatillo, and more. The Madame Freda looks tasty, with duck prosciutto, cheddar béchamel, gruyere, and sunny side up eggs. They also have several sandwiches, including a short rib burger, a sammy made with Portuguese skirt steak, as well as a grilled chicken breast sandwich. There is a veggie option, with the grilled eggplant baguette and the mashed avocado on seeded bread. They also have a creative twist on the NYC BEC, with the duck-bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich. I had the Mimi's Salmon burger, served with pea shoots, tomato, chipotle labne aioli, and potato bun. It was light, but the flavors were just "meh." I had it at the recommendation of our server, but I wouldn't have it again. Flavor was ok, but didn't blow me away. My friend had a the salmon, and was pleased. On the menu it's advertised as "whole fish," which isn't entirely true. It's a large filet of salmon, which isn't the same, but my friend enjoyed the flavors. We both loved the appetizer we had, the roasted cauliflower with creamy garlic dressing and capers. Other entrees available: chicken kebab, sirloin steak, schnitzel, veggie curry bowl, tofu, and more. The drinks were light and refreshing. I had the sunshine on carmine, consisting of gin, cava, ginger, lemon, and orange peel. I also had the green dean, gin cucumber, lemon, and mint. Service was exemplary. My friend is very particular, and wanted hot water (a cultural thing) and asked for multiple samples of wine. She was very picky about the salmon. The server and the helpers were AMAZING at accommodating her. I was honestly embarrassed at how demanding she was, but they came through with flying colors. Again, I can't imagine the cruddy reviews. Something must be wrong with those people.

Tasty and fresh brunch. The staff was very accommodating too. Will be back to try other things on the menu. A little pricy, but I guess it's NYC.
