- WWillNew York City •5 reviews5.0Dined 6 days ago5-Star Review: A Perfect Mother’s Day Brunch Experience We had the most wonderful time celebrating Mother’s Day with brunch here! The outdoor seating was absolutely perfect — sunny, warm, and beautifully arranged, making it the ideal spot to relax and enjoy the morning. The cocktails were a standout — fresh, flavorful, and beautifully crafted. From mimosas to more creative house specialties, every drink was a hit. The food was delicious, with a great variety of options that pleased everyone in our group. What truly made the experience exceptional was the staff. They were wonderful, attentive, and went out of their way to make sure our visit felt special. They accommodated our requests with ease and genuinely made us feel welcome. They even let us move tables to a shady side of the patio once a table became available. All in all, a fantastic experience from start to finish. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a cheerful, high-quality brunch spot — especially on a special day like this. We’ll definitely be back!More infoScena Wine BarPrice: Expensive• Italian• Darien•4.5
