Also 200 5th gives you a liter carafe of champagne and aren't as stingy about refilling it as the other places, which only serve you one glass at a time and charge you the same. I only sit on the restaurant side when I go, the sports bar side has become some sort of weird TV-pod zone.

And the Playa brunch menu is great! And $4 unlimited sangria. C'mon.

Sette's brunch menu is far from meager. It's one of the deepest I've seen in the neighborhood. I'm not saying they're greatest restaurant on earth but, considering that brunch does not lend itself to high culinary skill, they give you excellent bang for your buck.

To offer 200 Fifth as a comparison, as in "200 Fifth is better," is......I don't know what to say. I did check them out for brunch once. It was about as mediocre as can be. It's a sports bar.

^^Seriously, are you eating in the restaurant side or the bar side?

Totally agree about Sette. Beet salad so yummy, spinach salad good, ricotta fritters mmmmmm, and many options for main dish including smoked salmon omelette, pizza or pulled chicken.

Is there a brunch/lunch place that doesn't get too crowded where you can go with a group of 5 or 6, which includes a toddler?

I don't like being in small, crowded places with a small child, as I'm sure most people at the other tables agree. If anyone has suggestions for a place that is spacious, kid friendly and also has decent food, it would be appreciated.

Thanks

We bring ours to Miracle Grill, though, we don't have toddlers (youngest is 8). i have seen toddlers there, just don't be one of those people who lets your kids roam around and 'chat' to people at other tables, that drives me nuts

alchemy, when the weather is nicer has a back patio that is perfect for families. They also have large table-seating indoors. (plus you can get beer! with brunch)

Don't know how far south you want, but Tots is on 6th and 11th. Little D is supposed to have good brunch and they are on 7th and 14thish, or how about Kitchen Bar if they haven't closed yet on 6th and 20th?

tried to go last week for dinner, says it's closed for renovations.

Kitchen Bar? I just called and they still have answering machine saying they are open. Has anyone else walked by?

I just called Toby's. I asked "Is Kitchen Bar closed?" She said "Yes, it is not open."
