Punch Restaurant
“This is in that area in Gramercy/Flatiron that houses a surprising number of good restaurants/bars.”
“Sometimes the staff will even set out appetizers – there is nothing like bonding over zesty calamari or sweet potato (out of this world!)”

Came here for dinner with a friend on Thursday night and had a wonderful time. There's a bar in the front so it was a bit loud, even though we were in the back. We were both hungry and disappointed that they didn't give us bread. There was another table with bread and we were jealous. Maybe they ordered it, I don't know, but we wanted bread.
It was probably a good thing that we didn't end up actually getting bread because we were both full from the delicious food. I had the special fish of the night (I think it was halibut) and my friend ordered the Atlantic Salmon. The salmon was what you would expect, satisfying but not spectacular. The unconfirmed halibut was moist and delicious, and I loved the sauce and vegetable pairings. We then split the Apple & Pear Cobbler. The fruit was a bit too sweet, but the cobbler itself had great texture and I love vanilla ice cream on baked goods. Had a fun time, would definitely come back for drinks and more food.
Punch brunch! Was meeting up with some friends on one of those great winter Sundays that make you think that we've already made it to spring.
I committed that I refused to go to the same old brunch places again. I just felt like trying something different. So after some yelp searching, I settled on Punch- the location worked for everyone, the reviews seemed cool enough and I felt the positive commitment to boost brunch. My party of 6 came prepared for boozy branching.
One thing that I really appreciated about their menu is that the boozy options were varied and even included tap beer (not that anyone ordered it, but it's the thought that counts). I ended up ordering the cheese grits with fried eggs. This comes with bacon AND sausages. Thanks for respecting the carnivores!
My one disappointment was the fried egg was hella runny (like full yoke runny) which o would never expect given the menu described it as a fried egg. Runny eggs turn my stomach so I had to send that back immediately. Luckily my waiter was like a ninja who would come with great offerings of mimosa or a plate of food, but be gone in a flash before you realized to tend to the next item. He was on top of things.
The drinks floweth and well I can definitely appreciate that on a Sunday Funday.
I've officially added Punch to my boozy brunch list. Thanks!
Came here for brunch and got salmon eggs Benedict. Did not like it at all. It needed more flavor and salt. The eggs were also cold like they just had them sitting there for a while. I have had eggs Benedict at many places and this was by far the worst. The dish looked nice and the service was decent but will never come back for the food.
Went here as a group of 6 and what an amazing experience we had!
We had made reservations for 1:00 pm and were seated on time, even though 2 of us didn't arrive on time.
We got started with our drinks right away and ordered mimosas and stuck with it all the way till the end. The drinks were pretty good and definitely had a good "Punch" to it! Other drinks on the bottomless menu were Bellini's and Bloody Mary's.
For entrees, I got the Turkey Burger.. I wasn't too happy with it at first, because my burger didn't have cheese on it and nowhere in description did it say, that cheese would or would not be there. However, Roberto, our server, noticed it right away and brought my burger again with chedder cheese melted on it. While the burger didn't have a stand out taste to it, I enjoyed my burger. Good portion and quite filling.
Danny and Roberto ensured that our mimosas were always filled up.. Special thanks to both for making our Saturday brunch a lot of fun!!
At $34.95 for brunch, the brunch experience is totally worth it!
Came here for the first time today. The servers were friendly, but the food was overpriced for it's taste and quality.
Tried the beet salad, which was ok. Not bad but not as delicious as you expect a $14 beet salad to be.
The cheese plate was ok, it came with honey, a strawberry, some slices of apple, and some lettuce. I'm a big fan of cheese plates and enjoyed the cheeses, but the portions were quite small.
I might come back here for happy hour drinks, but won't be back for the food.
We actually came here by mistake while looking for another spot when the bartender waved us in. Thank god he did because my friends and I were starving and getting antsy. The same bartender was our server and ended up being an absolute delight. He was so pleasant and chatty. (Handsome, Irish, beard.)
Pretty empty at around 10:30 on a Friday night. Maybe because of the area?
I loved the chicken club sandwich. The fries that accompanied it were even better! The three of us finished every last fry. They were thin and crisp to perfection. One friend had the mahi mahi tacos and was less impressed. She said they were too "fishy" and ended up eating two out of three. Other friend had the pizza and was overwhelmed and surprised by how good it was. I tried it too and the cheese was soo different and fresh and much better than regular mozzarella.
For drinks, we tried: (1) lychee martini – super sweet/fruity (2) some kind of spicy margarita – spicy and left a strong aftertaste in my throat. I thought it was okay, one friend hated it and the other loved it so I'd say order this with caution (3) a blood orange cocktail which I don't remember anything about. Overall, drinks were okay.
Food was great, service was even better. If in the area, I would stop in again for sure. Seems like a good happy hour spot. I'm not typically in the area around happy hour but if I was I'd try it out.
One of Time Out NY's top 10 boozy brunch spots! $35 for your entree and an hour and a half of unlimited bloody mary, belini, or mimosas. Most entrees are $14 and up, drinks are $5.50 each so the boozy option is well worth it.
We came in after staying a night in the city for the Halloween parade. Instantly loved the cozy feel and decor. Drinks were well made and we never waited for a refill. Food was great, I had salmon and eggs benidict which was delicious. As a non-salmon lover what truly made this delicious was the salmon being so thinly sliced. The husband had a farmers omelet, it was huge, and delicious. Our waiter was great, he even placed our bags into the closet so we didn't clog up the restaurant with our luggage. This was a great find. I'd love to go back!
We booked this place for a birthday dinner and although none of us had ever been before, we decided to take a chance on it seeing the menu and good reviews. The staff is very friendly and were cooperative when we had to downsize the number of people attending despite booking for 10. Drink prices are a little high but they do have happy hour on well drinks and some beers, even on weekends. That being said, the drinks are not weak or watered-down so you get your money's worth. Because one of our friends ordered four very expensive custom drinks making our bill a lot higher than normal, the waiter said the whiskey shots we ordered were on the house which was really nice. As for food, I liked everything. We got the farmstead cheese plate and tempura battered string beans. Both were really good. For a small meal, I had the chicken quesadilla which was pretty good and just the right size. Overall, this place is excellent for events or just a nice dinner out. I'll definitely come back sometime!
