Sarabeth's Central Park South

The location is fantastic, right by Central Park, making it perfect for a leisurely brunch. The food was exceptional, with a great variety of delicious dishes. I particularly enjoyed the Buttermilk Pancakes and the Fat & Fluffy French Toast. The Spinach & Goat Cheese Omelette was also delightful. The ambiance was cozy and inviting, and the service was top-notch, with attentive and friendly staff. It’s a busy place, but the food is delicious with generous portions, and the service is excellent. Prices are on the higher side.

The location, service, and ambiance are great. The food presentation is also top-notch! However, the flavour could be enhanced. We felt that all the dishes needed a stronger 'punch' of flavour. We ordered the eggs Benedict, the farmer's omelet, and the French toast. They were okay, but not great. I'm not sure if I'd recommend the place unless you want to experience a brunch close to Central Park.

What a great find!! We had a reservation at 10 AM and were immediately seated! Intimate table for 2, quick service for drink orders. The coffee was great! We both ordered the Farmer’s Omelette, shared a side of potatoes! SO SO good! Perfect start to our day to skip across the street and explore Central Park! It was also nice that we never felt rushed! The timing of everything, from drinks, food and the check at the end was so comfortable. Can’t wait to return next time we’re in town.

food was delicious. 10/10! pancakes were the softest i’ve ever tried. garden omelette was very tasty as well. the best dish was the crab and guacamole. so good!!!!!

The food and vibe was wonderful. So pretty and well decorated on the inside with lots of flowers and light. I got a lobster roll with truffle fries and my boyfriend got an “adult grilled cheese” with tomato soup and both were very delicious. Also some of the best service we’ve ever experienced in the city, we are already making plans to come back :)

Good brunch spot. Food was decent as was the service. We got the following with asterisks to indicate what we’d get again. - Smoked Salmon Benedict - Avocado Toast with Egg* - Lemon & Ricotta Pancakes (short stack)* - Coconut Waffle*

While visiting from 🇨🇦, it was recommended to us to go here. We arrived earlier which was perfect and pre the brunch rush. The atmosphere and ambiance is so pretty and inviting here, you will love it. Our server was pleasant, but you could tell he was almost annoyed when we “only” ordered regular coffee and not a specialty one or a mimosa. The food is incredible and I suggest sharing, as the portions are large. It’s a bit expensive so prepare yourself, but a nice experience, and after all it’s NYC.

We had a reservation here. Initially, the staff seemed kind, but our experience revealed underlying racism. They consistently directed only Asians to seats near the entrance and the kitchen. We arrived first at the restaurant. Despite there being a large, beautifully decorated space inside, we were guided to a seat by the entrance. At first, I thought it might be a coincidence. However, as time passed, I noticed that only Asians were seated around us. This is my third time in New York, and I'm no stranger to dining out. When we asked for the bill, they handed us the receipt and immediately asked how much we were going to tip. I found this very rude and have never encountered such behavior at any other restaurant. Overall, this was a deeply disappointing and discriminatory experience.

Nice brunch just in front of Central Park. It is a bit pricy but the portions are very generous ! The decoration inside is nice The menu offers classic brunch meals. I ordered the garden omelette with a tea and a fresh orange juice. It was good but really fulfilling ! I could not finish my place I assume the place is crowded during weekends, therefore, I recommend to go during weekdays if possible

disgustingly overcrowded and overpriced when i came which was on saturday! never again ahaha. when i asked the waiter for recommendations, he proceeded to name all the lost expensive things on the menu like the lobster ravioli. while i understand getting ur bag and can respect that, it seemed a bit fishy to me and needless to say a bit rude as well. the service was also not the friendliest. it felt like he was trying to rush us out of our seats asap to sit the next party. i know the line is out the door but sometimes you just want to enjoy a weekend brunch on your own time??? they also sat us in the outdoor dining area which had some nice lighting but was right next to all the passerby's who were entering, exiting, and waiting to be sat. kind of unpleasant. the tables were also very close together. the bathroom line was astronomical. i ended up going nearby outside to the girls room there. the food was pretty good but not worth the experience; the fiscal price and mental exhaustion.

Enjoyed brunch at Sarabeth's while in the city. It's located across from Central Park, giving a peaceful view if sitting in the front of restaurant. The inside opens up with more seating than I would have guessed. Theres a beautiful section with florals in the ceiling creating that IG worthy setting. The food was good and delivered quickly. Just a heads up, there is a section in the menu that is a little confusing under Omelettes: it says a muffin of choice or English muffin is included, however every dish in that section does not get MOC and it's not marked which dishes are excluded. We found out by ordering individually and being told yes or no, instead of the server telling us which dishes were excluded. (If you check online, the items are marked, saw this after dining experience) I ordered the Classic Ham Benedict and Avocado Toast, there were no standout flavors or anything to make it exceptional, but it was good and what was expected! Sadly, I did not get any pictures. I would recommend making a reservation, especially during the weekend. Also, if you're cold natured, bring a light jacket!

Food was great service was good for the location. Definitely is a good spot if you're planning to be in Central Park area .. Ambience is calm ..

Sarabeth's remains a classic for quality and service. You may spend slightly more here, but the quality of the ingredients and comfortable setting justify it. We didn't have reservations. We were able to show up on a Wednesday evening at 7pm and were quickly seated. This is white tablecloth service, but does not have a strict dress code. Corporate casual seems to be the standard with more casual around the brunch hours. The drink menu is more extensive than they have posted online. It also seemed possible to modify and order what you liked, within reason. Cocktails were about $16 a piece and were balanced with unique combinations. Our waiter was very helpful in letting me know that my mostly deboned and butterflied roasted chicken would take 30 minutes to come to the table. I started with the tomato soup ($18), while my friend's salmon came to the table shortly afterwards. The soup was absolutely delicious Although creamy, it was not heavy. The Murray's Roasted Chicken ($35) was the star of the night, however. The roasted chicken was so tender; my knife cut through it like butter. The jus on it helped to hydrate the crispy skin and blended nicely with the puree. I was so happy to have enough of this left over to enjoy the next day. We finished by splitting a massive ice cream cookie ($8). I'm fairly certain a person could make a meal out of this. This was a simple vanilla ice cream wedged between two palm sized, hard chocolate chip cookies. While I enjoyed this, I think I would have liked something like a Thin Tate's cookie on the outside and a stronger Tahitian vanilla ice cream. Or perhaps lace cookies with a coconut ice cream or German chocolate. People coming here like their classics. I do feel dessert was an area that they could elevate and surprise more. I do look forward to returning one morning for their basket of popovers!

Love Sara Beth's conveniently located on Central Park South between the Plaza and Ritz Carlton. Great for breakfast and lunch. Reservations available online. We ate in the bright garden room with the wisteria above. I chose the basic breakfast with scrambled eggs and applewood bacon. My partner chose eggs Benedict. Coffee is bottomless. A great choice when you're in the city.

4.5 / 5.0 Sarabeth's on 59th St. There are both indoor and terrace seating, Atmosphere to enjoy a relaxing morning or lunch. The French toast is hearty and goes well with maple syrup. The service was great, they took care of everything! Strollers can be checked in at the reception, They have high chairs so you can enjoy it with your kids! This is one of those places that I would love to take my friends when they come to New York City. What I ordered was: ・Fat & Fluffy French Toast ・Iced latte

I got the miso salmon and it was really juicy and flavorful. I love the miso sauce however $40 for this was a lot of money. I don't think it was worth it due to the portion size. Only reading this four out of five because the price was really expensive for the amount of quantity that I have received. Otherwise, the staff was super nice and it was cute inside. However, I also did have truffle fries, which were amazing and definitely would've ordered that again

As an avid customer at Sarabeths, Central Park is my favorite, if you have visit any other the space is a bit smaller than the others but the food and the service is consistent overall. Visited to brunch for my sister birthday and if was a good time, we had the pancakes, French toast, apple sausages, eggs, coffee and cheese cake for dessert. The portions are pretty large so I always leave with a take out bag (lol) this restaurant has been a constant in my life and they've never disappointed me. I suggest when visiting this location to make reservations because it gets really busy.

I ordered takeout from here while staying in the city. The portion was generous, but the "side salad" was a few pieces or limp greens. The eggs with salmon and cream cheese were delicious, as was the popover. Because it was takeout I can't comment on the staff or service, but the space itself was lovely

Ordered: Smoked Salmon Benedict (~$29): hollandaise, peppers, chives, and served with local greens Fat & Fluffy French Toast (~$28): with strawberries Iced Latte (~$6): with oat milk Aya's take: There's no way around this - it's average. The name & location probably brings in more patrons than usual but it's certainly not for the quality or taste of the food. We had a reservation yet had to wait about 15 minutes before we were seated. Both dishes we got were decent but not great. The Smoked Salmon Benedict tasted a bit fishy but the eggs were cooked perfectly. I also enjoyed the greens on the side. The English muffin they use is also a bit unique; it's more buttery and flaky than your typical English muffin. The Fat & Fluffy French Toast was a bit too eggy; dousing it with syrup helped but you shouldn't have to do that for a good French toast. All in all, it was a good try but I probably wouldn't come back.

I LOVE this place! I always come here for my birthday It's a great location. I usually sit indoors, but you can sit outside right by Central Park, how can you beat that? We always get an egg dish then share pancakes or French Toast. The salmon eggs Benedict was DIVOON! Service was great. I had reservations, and seated right away. Great NY VIBES!

Came for breakfast on a week day with no reservation and were seated immediately. It was crowded but manageable. The service was very quick, almost too quick! I got the wild mushroom scramble which was really good, if you like truffle. My sister had the farmers omelette which she described as unremarkable and a bit dry. Also a little pricey but you expect that being next to Central Park

Delicious and quickly served food, the service is quite attentive besides being super full on a Monday morning, and very cute vibe going on for a filling breakfast after a Monday morning run in Central Park

Sarabeth's near Central Park in NYC falls short in terms of promised outdoor seating, but impresses with quick service. However, the fruit plate lacked flair without any honey drizzle. On the upside, the cappuccinos were excellent, and the pancakes and eggs with toast were satisfactory. The total bill of $88 for two people seems reasonable due to the location, making it an good dining experience overall.

We had a reservation for a late breakfast and were seated right away. It was very crowded, unsure if that's normal or not so I would recommend a reservation then. The entire ceiling was covered in greenery and just looked so adorable. Our service was very good, no complaints. The food was awesome! I am not a huge breakfast person, but I really liked all of our meal. We got a quiche and an omelette to share. Both were very yummy. The coffee I got was also good. I really liked the jam they served with the bread, so much so that I bought a jar to take home.

Great food, service,and ambiance close to Central Park. We stayed close by and enjoyed the experience. Reservations advised,

Beautiful surroundings. Light and airy. Nice atmosphere and the food is basically breakfast fare with a few add ons Nothing really jumped out at me flavor wise but all was good we ordered French toast, goat and scallion omelet and popover mushroom and egg The popover I envisioned was filled with the ingredients instead it was mushroom and egg scrambled with a popover instead of toast The coffee maker wasn't working but the espresso was so we ordered cappuccino and that was excellent

We had a reservation for the end of restaurant week so we avoided the line. However, despite the website saying they did restaurant week menus on the weekend, we were never given the option. Strike one. Strike two was the service: we felt rushed the whole meal (unsurprising given the growing line outside): but within 2 minutes of sitting down our waiter came over and brusquely wanted to know what we wanted to eat. Strike three was the price - $30 for eggs is a bit rich, even for NYC. Gluten free options were severely limited as well: there were no options for pastries or other items to be subbed out or replaced with a gluten-free option. My partner was relegated to replacing her potatoes (cross-contaminated, so not gluten free) with a salad: and had to talk the waiter out of upcharging her for the pleasure.

I can't go to New York and not go for a grilled cheese and tomato soup. That tomato soup is probably the best thing I've ever tasted. Creamy, chunky, fresh, and just so tasty. The grilled cheese is on a pretzel bun with a few different kinds of cheese. Warm and lovely. We sat outside across from Central Park. Beautiful day. Service was perfect. I can't wait to go back.

Deliciousness! The view was great! Right across from Central Park. Service was great. The atmosphere was amazing. Highly recommend visiting this establishment and having a great breakfast while in New York

Our favorite breakfast spot across from Central Park. The food, service, ambiance... everything is AMAZING!

The food, service, and ambiance were all outstanding. Everything was elegant and the service exceptional. Because this place was literally steps from our hotel, we walked over for brunch. It was a quarter after 11 am on a Saturday, so it was packed! We were told there was a 30 minute wait, however we didn't even wait 10 minutes when they seated us! So a huge plus! They brought us water and drinks, then took our orders quickly. So exceptional was the service that no sooner had we put our order in, the servers all came out at the same time with everything! We ordered the Lemon ricotta pancakes with fresh blackberries and a generous side of bacon, the Breakfast Bowl, the wild mushroom popover omelette, and sparkling water, as well as the Four Flowers smoothie!

When looking for a breakfast after arriving on an early flight, Sarabeths was at the top of multiple yelp lists, so we decided to try it out. At 9am on a Friday, there was quite a crowd in line and we were lucky to only wait a few minutes. This location is massive! When walking through the restaurant it seems endless, given the small exterior at the front. We had the smoked salmon benedict and the granola and fruit bowl. Both were just OK. There was a lot of salmon (which was great), but the salad was a little too wet/dressed. And for the price ($28)...it just didn't seem worth it. Overall a good place to have breakfast before tackling Central Park but not if you are looking for a quick or inexpensive bite.

Very basic breakfast food priced like it's something special. Coupled with poor and slow service makes this a place you'll want to skip.

Conveniently located, but the interior needs to be updated. The service was ok, but not particularly spectacular. The dishes exceeded my expectations a little and I enjoyed how fluffy the pancakes were. The pop over could have had slightly more salmon, but it was pretty tasty and the eggs were also perfectly cooked. Still a bit expensive for brunch, but I guess that's partly because of being next to central park south. $28 for pancakes seriously?

Sarabeths has been around for a very long time and is hotspot that sits between major hotels and Central Park. If you're looking for classic old New York, this is the place for you. However, should you want more bang for your buck I would have to recommend elsewhere. Taste: 2.5/5 Service: 4/5 Value for Money: 2/5 Ambience: 4/5 We had: 1) Seafood gumbo (16) - Not recommended. Unfortunately should not be considered a meal. It uses rock shrimp and perhaps 2oz of rice. Admittedly shocked to see the portion. As for the taste itself, it is unfortunate to have to say it tasted like leftover lentil soup. 2) Sarabeths signature sirloin burger (29) - the burger on the flip side had great flavour to it. This would be a recommended choice, the fries were skinny 3) Orange juice (14) - a glass of orange juice was 14. No alcohol, just plain ol 14 bucks for juice. Think of 8oz of your best Tropicana in glassware Not sure if I could say I would be back. Greedflation is very real.

This place is delicious. Great location near all the best shopping and The Plaza and right across from Central Park. We didn't realize how popular it was and were able to get in on a Saturday morning for brunch within 25 minutes and snag a nice patio seat. Our waiter was very busy, but good and we ordered the lobster roll with fries, a veggie omelet and a smoothie. Prices are high-ish but not any different from the rest of the city and the food was very good. My veggie egg omelet had cheese, peas, scallions and zucchini and was served with a small side of greens, and a warm muffin of choice. I chose banana. It was served with fresh butter and delicious house-made berry jam that they sell inside. SO good! My husband's lobster roll was phenomenal and he loved it. He subbed fries for the chips and it was a large and generous portion of fries. I ordered the smoothie - pineapple, orange, banana and cranberry. Small and expensive for $15 but delicious and fresh and refreshing. They are popular and busy - but service was prompt and we didn't wait a long time for our food and our busy waiter did a good job of taking good care of us. All in all - great spot for people watching and great food. Win!

I walked bye here the other day looking for lunch options with my friend. And we decided gave it a try ...we weren't that impressed. The place is actually really beautiful and everyone who works here are super nice. Now the food not so much in my opinion.I had the lobster roll it had so much stuff in there besides lobster I was so upset. At almost 35 dollars I had better ones at Luke's lobster. The chips were hard and cold. My friend had the burger she said it was like a regular burger nothing spectacular. And so sarabeth's was okay but not for the price.

Best tomato soup of my life!!! My friend and I stopped in for a late lunch and we were seated right away by the window. The restaurant was pretty empty which was surprising. We both got the adult grilled cheese which was three cheeses on pretzel bread served with a bowl of creamy tomato soup with large chunks of tomatoes and a side/pile of bread and butter pickle chips on the side. We barely spoke to each other because we were too busy giggling over how amazing the food was!! 5 stars for the food and ambiance! The rest of the menu looked great as well. Prices were high but felt worth it.

lemon ricotta pancakes were good! i think you could probably get something similar for cheaper though. service was very nice and got food out fast. waited 20 mins for sunday morning, entryway is cramped but once you get seated it's great

Overall, I enjoyed what I ate here though the food itself is average. I came on a Saturday afternoon at 1 pm without a reservation. I only had to wait 20 minutes till a table opened up which is reasonable. The service was fast, the employees were kind, and I personally thought the portion sizes were decent. The garden omelette was on the richer size for me, with more cheese than I would've liked. I loved the lemon ricotta pancakes but honestly, it's hard to mess up pancakes.

The location is the best, right in front of Central Park. The food was not to my liking but the lemon pancakes were tasty. Besides that not worth the price you pay for the food. You are pretty much paying for the view. Plus for the money - the service was not good.

Fantastic brunch spot! I made reservations around the afternoon for two and was immediately seated when i arrived for my reservation. Due to the holidays it was super busy, so reservations are recommended. Our waiter was super helpful and kind giving us recommendations. I had ordered the french toast and applewood bacon on the side, two sunnyside egg with toast and bacon. Along with apple juice and orange juice. The wait for the food wasn't long. The french toast was super fluffy and not dry at all. Everything was overall delicious. The restaurant and food was very aesthetic. I will definitely be coming back.

We waited literally 15 minutes for a table. The food is okay, but there aren't many breakfast options

We had brunch at Sarabeth's while visiting New York City. The food was fresh. The service was good.. nice atmosphere. Just know that if you get there before the rest of your party, they will not see you until your whole party is there..

Sunday brunch menu offered a broad choice. In my party of five people it was first time for three. Everyone agreed that the food was outstanding, and ambiance was very pleasurable.

The location right next to Central Park is great! The ambiance is nice. Perfect spot for people watching. The food was great, and they were helpful with suggestions for food allergies.

Service, food, atmosphere all incredible. Already a memorable experience. The popovers are always a hit. Also my favorite time to go is for brunch with champagne. All locations deliver the best service.

I had brunch for the first time here, at the central park south location. First, like anything good in Manhattan, be prepared to wait. Once we were seated it was amazing. Servers were friendly and attentive, despite the number of tables they each had. We had a carafe of the Peach Bellinis, pancakes, and the spinach and feta omelet, and side of bacon. Everything was excellent and I will definitely be back next time I'm in the city!

Personally I find this place very over rated. The service is very good but the food has no taste. The ambiance is nothing special for what you paying for.

Service was excellent , sorry I forgot to ask for our server's name , but she's above and beyond , being patient with us , and paid extra attention to our needs . We are a group of 6 with a child under 10 , we decided to share dishes , and before we asked , our server carried extra smaller plates for us to use . Water and coffee were being refilled constantly. She is amazing . The food was pretty good too . I will go back there whenever I have out of town visitors .

This place is always packed. The food is excellent. The service is also good but sometimes you feel rushed, that's only because the place is very very popular and the line is always too long. Ambiance is intimate and you feel like you are in a garden-it depends on where are you're sitting.

Although I came here remembering a quintessential New York brunch decades ago that included lots of mimosas and incredibly executed popovers, our basket of popovers that I insisted upon were the only imperfect item we were served at brunch with my sister on this gorgeous Spring Sunday. We made a 10:30 reservation and were shown to a really comfortable table off the main dining room. Service was attentive, especially considering the business of the restaurant. We were strategic about what we ordered because my sister Ali does not like eggs and we had been pretty indulgent in this trip. We wanted to focus on other protein. Shoutout to Sarabeth's for being ridiculously generous with protein portions. Nowhere is this more obvious than in their " side of bacon. I saw an enormous plate( nay platter) being brought to another table. I assumed it was at least three orders combined onto a plate because it included a pile that looked to be between 8 and 12 thick cut slices, but the sane was brought to our table, hot crispy and smokey flavored. For $15, we could mot finish it. The breakfast bowl was piled with smoked salmon along with the quinoa, avocado, cherry tomatoes and pickled veggies (we took most of this hone, but enjoyed so much or the smoked salmon. The real winner that we agreed won the prize for best brunch dish and most perfect appetizer ever created was the guacamole and crab with homemade chips. The chips, themselves were almost greaseless, perfectly salted and crispy. They were arranged so as not to get soggy and the accompanying crab and guacomole were perfection. The chips also were used by us as a way to layer the ingredients from the breakfast bowl to make yummy mini smoked salmon and picked vegetable canapés. Even the quinoa crunch added texture . Again the amount of crab and fresh guac relative to the $26 price point was extremely fair. The only thing marring the perfection were that the popovers were cold, old and hard- making the potato chips so crucial. The crab and avocado and smoked salmon would be so yummy with fresh eggy , buttery popover that I remembered. Next tine we will get the scones and muffins. We definitely got our money's worth as this $96 brunch made two yummy meals for both of is without a lot of filler. Get in here and order the crab and guacamole and breakfast bowl, but skip the popovers unless you can ensure that they will be fresh!

Came here for brunch with friends who were visiting Nyc, and we were able to get a table relatively quickly without reservations. The wait staff is very rushed and kept asking if we wanted to order drinks other than water. Our food came really quickly, and each plate had enormous portions. The food was okay, but what was really shocking was how badly they tried to overcharge us. We asked to split the bill in four, which should have been around 38 per person including tax, but I was charged over a hundred dollars, and if I hadn't noticed they would not have said anything. The entire bill was a bit over hundred, so it made no sense whatsoever. I would hesitate to come back considering the service and billing

TL;DR: Inside is a bit dirtier than I would like, or expect- but also the food is delicious. Sarabeths is a wild ride. We walked in and needed to figure out what we were walking into. We knew a few were in the area but had yet to learn they were a small batch chain of restos. It wasn't very pleasant to find that out. Once places like this move to the chain, they lose what they once were. So we found Sarabeth's through a quick Google search of the "best brunch in NY" It popped up, so, as the Yelper I am, I knew that I had to go for the masses and the best brunch. The one at Central Park is conveniently located at the base opposite Harlem. We walked in and were immediately sat. It was also a weekday. Something rather important to note. We were put right next to the window, in a half-booth setting. I looked down, and black mold and grease lined the window and floor near the table. Not necessarily a place that I want to eat near. We aWe asked to use the bathroom since we had just tracked from Brooklyn to Central Park and found that the bathroom was cleaner than the dining area. We were given rapid service, but it was clear that they were used to ushering people in and ushering them out, and it is almost muscle memory at this point. They asked the woman next to us, to an apparent irritant, if she was done with her plate- it wasn't until she snapped back with a firm "NO," that they left her alone. I ordered the avocado toast with Lox and Buratta, and my partner ordered the same with Bacon as the protein instead. Since they had a limited menu during the weekday, my partner ordered the same with different toppings. The food was fresh, the fish was excellent, and I would certainly go back- but ask to sit outside instead, where at least I know that the grudge is something that just cannot be helped, instead of knowing that they don't clean behind/around tables.

A lovely brunch place right on billionaires row near Central park south, Sarabeths is the spot to gobble up a hearty breakfast or lunch after your adventure in the park. We tried their lobster roll, adult grilled cheese, signature burger, Avocado toast, Spinach goat cheese omelette & five flower mimosa. Everything was good, nothing special though. Service was amazing, very warm and attentive waiters. Ambiance is old school yet elegant.

Really convenient location. Service is amazing, truly the staff were so attentive. The food was the biggest let down for me. It just wasn't as amazing as folks had hyped it up to be. I'd stilll go again, but it's not a place to go to if you're a big foodie, more for hanging out with friends and location.

We came here while visiting the area and we were looking for something in the Central Park area. Someone we'd spoken to had recommended Sarabeth's for breakfast so we decided to come. While it wasn't bad, I think it's overrated and overpriced for what it is. I've paid less money for similar dishes that were just as good or better. And it's not even about the money - I've also spent more but you bet it was worth it! My husband wanted a simple classic - pancakes. It cost over $20 for plain old pancakes. That is laughable. The ambiance is nice. It's quiet and cozy. The service was okay, not horrible but wasn't the "go out of your way to be great" type of service either. Overall, I wouldn't necessarily put this at the top of my recommendations list. I'm sure there are plenty of other places that have more of the WOW factor. But I wouldn't say "don't come here" either.
