This place is eh. The service was incredibly fast and friendly. However the food was fairly bland. I got a western egg on a bagel and the bagel reminded me of the ones that come frozen.
Dunno what everyone is complaining about. Service was the best part of the experience. Blonde European lady was great! The lasagna had more meat than I've ever seen! Brunch was a bargain $13.95 included coffee and oj and toast. Nothing spectacular but fantastic deal for UES.
This place is terrible! I think the only reason they must get business is because they're called "Eat Here Now." After wandering the UES looking for a diner to grab a quick bite, this is one of the only cheaper establishments available. The restaurant is dirty and the bathroom is disgusting; it had water all over the floor and a toilet seat that did not even fit the toilet. The service is just awful. Our server took about 10 minutes just to acknowledge us and take our order. Then, it took another ten minutes to get a cup of water and coffee. We were not once offered a refill on our tiny cups of water or luke warm cups of coffee. The food is meh – standard diner food but much worse than most every other diner I've eaten at in NYC. Overall, I will definitely NOT be coming back even if it means I have to work a little harder to find something edible in the neighborhood.
I always wonder why all diner always get mediocre reviews. What do people expect from diners?
Eat Here Now is your typical as you would imagine it should be. The extensive menu has brunch, lunch and dinner selections. We went for brunch.
It is quite a tight fit space in this restaurant. The tables and banquettes all snugly fitting in the footprint. The waitress was quick and friendly as she took our orders. They have the Brunch special seems reasonable. The eggs were scramble as asked. The bacon was aright but didn't quite seem fresh for you just know when bacon has been sitting around. The fruit salad was that. The coffee was adequately strong to perk us up on a Sunday.
The experience was typical of diner and no one at the table really complained about the food ordered. So yup, as eats go it fits the bill no more no less. It's a diner.
Standard American diner in Midtown East- 3 stars for A-OK.
Pros:
* My coworker likes to come here because he is gluten-free and Eat Here Now has a myriad of options (it was very hard for me to decide what to get) including egg dishes that he can eat at lunchtime.
* Because of the negative reviews I was scared to pick the wrong item on their menu and be utterly dissapointed. But when I sampled the Spinach Quiche and Potato Salad with salad and honey mustard dressing, the food was not bad at all. The Spinach Quiche was big, flavorful, and I would definitely come back for more.
* Service was friendly and fast.
* Pricey but it's standard for Midtown East
Do not give in to the demand of the restaurant's name! It sucks. $16 for two eggs and some hash browns.
Typical diner/brunch food.
An old-school diner on the Upper Eastside that always seems packed. I had eggs for a quick brunch here, just their bacon and mushroom omelette with home fries, toast and some tea. I thought it was good especially the home fries- they smashed well-cooked potatoes fried to a crisp and delicious with ketchup. I don't like when you get a side of barely cooked cooked potato and onion and they call it a home fry.
My boyfriend said he didn't like the coffee, that a diner should have better coffee so I'm only giving it 3 stars. Plus the interior is pretty lackluster, but the service was fast and the bathroom was clean. I left feeling good after my meal.
