The bartender was so kind! I love that they have good mocktails and food is exquisite!!! I just would lower the salt but I can eat with no salt so don’t mind me 🫶🏼
I really liked this place! Low key brunch place, not too crowded for Saturday brunch - at easily got a seat at the bar. Food was really good and extremely filling for how the portions looked (not diner sized, kinda normal). I'm told prices are also affordable for New York especially, even though I did the millennial thing and ordered the I think $16 avocado toast haha (with bacon, would have been over $20 if I had gone for the smoked salmon).
Had a mac and cheese craving, so when I looked up the menu I knew I had to come try this place out. The atmosphere was nice and they had live jazz music, which was also really cool. Got the fried pickles to start, spicy but super good. The drinks were good too. Mac and cheese was above average, but overall good. If you want a simple night out with a cool vibe I would recommend.
Great brunch spot! Came to The Penrose on a saturday at noon and found it suprisingly easy to get a table (at the bar, 25 min wait). The service and cozy atmosphere were great, the bartenders were lovely, and the food was quick to come out. Really liked the burger with tater tots. Their eggs benedict were fine but no my favorite. Really want to come back to checkout their sunday jazz nights!
Came here for brunch. The food and cocktails were delicious!
Recommend: Hot honey fried chicken & biscuit. Eggs Benedict with country ham.
For cocktails go with the “Out of office” and this “barb-ie is a spritz”

What a great find for casual dining, delicious food, and drinks!
I love the atmosphere and vibe of this restaurant. I felt very relaxed and welcome. The staff were equally as pleasant and took great care of our group making sure we had everything we needed.
The crispy fish tacos with pineapple salsa and pickled onions was so good and fresh! With a side of crispy tator tots I was set. The ginger mule with fresh and candied ginger was too notch. I could drink that every day, wow. Well priced and delicious meal.
Thank you all for a great dining experience.

5 stars for the flexibility, ambiance, and service. We had a lot of changes in party size and time due to our group size and the restaurant was easy to communicate with and accommodating. Ambiance is great: a good balance of chill, low key, but also a touch of up-scaleness. Service is fast and professional. A good spot for a night out with friends and date.
