    The food was delicious and the ambiance was luxurious. The rolls were the highlight but I enjoyed the burger as well. Our server was attentive and did a good job describing the dishes. The prices can come down a bit though.

    Had lunch there on a Friday . Food was goodbut I expected the space to be nicer for snack hotel. They didn’t have the appetizer we wanted and when we asked for a coffee they said the barista /coffee was done for the day at 2.30? My friend told me the same thing happened to her previously . Service was ok the waitress did not check in to see if we wanted dessert or coffee . It was fine overall but wouldn’t go back

    Service was friendly, cocktails could be better, food is trying to be elevated but is lost with clashing tastes and textureS. Also they sent our drinks the the neighboring table and charged them - resolved it but it took awhile. Seats are weirdly low for table height. Atmosphere is nice, but I think the bar/lounge might be nicer, will come back for just drinks next time.

    Came for the St John pop up. Almost everything was super salty. The soup was good. The pie was dry and salty, the ice cream was like swallowing toothpaste/medicine. Spinach super salty and mashed potatoes watery. The burrata and scallops were small but at least seasoned properly... service was excellent though.

    We had really been looking forward to having brunch here - but from the nearly absent server to them actually being out of de-caf coffee on a mid-day Sunday as well as the entrees we wanted to order - it just was not a great experience. Wanted to like this but they made it impossible.

    Went for the St. John's special at As You Are so I can't speak to the standard menu. However, the special menu included Baked Quail Eggs & Ox Cheek Pie, the former being a tasty and savory "chili-esque" bowl, and the latter being a hearty, satisfying, main course. Dr Henderson Ice Cream definitely through us for a loop, and I can't say I recommend it, but we enjoyed the experience. Ambience-wise the place was cozy, but not as elegant as the bar next door. Granted the restaurant typically operates as a bakery in addition to the restaurant, so the space is fitting for the purpose. The service was good, and we were attending kindly and promptly. I noticed a server quickly relit our candle after it accidentally went out, which shows attention to detail. Great experience overall, and definitely interested in coming back to try the standard menu.

    Being familiar with the St John’s experience and that being the expectation, we were really disappointed with the food that we had. I think most ch has to do with how little info was provided hence I guess the negative take away. That said, service was great. Thanks.

    Came for the St. Johns pop up- and ordered a few things off the standard AYA menu. All the a la carte items were delicious, burger was cooked perfectly and fries where textbook. The meat pie was very dry, although the flavor was great. Rabe was a bit of an afterthought, and potatoes were good, but not needed. We went with the AYA apple pie for dessert as the fernet ic didnt seem like it was going to blow us away. Pie was fantastic, so we knew we made the right choice. Pop ups arent always easy, but the staff was great and we really enjoyed ourselves. Thanks to everyone!

    Pretty inedible all around. Went for the St John's dinner. The website reads "Trevor Gulliver and the team behind London's seminal nose-to-tail, Michelin-starred restaurant are setting up stateside shop right here for two weeks.' Trevor is not in residence. a 3 course menu that was taught to the staff is available. Not what I expected with that language. Everything else on the menu is not St John's.

    I've repeatedly come to AS YOU ARE because of its central location and great menu. I find the decor and atmosphere very chic. The menu is lovely and they have some stand out non-alcoholic drinks as well. The pastries are also lovely to take with you for anyone who can't make it.

    All food was delish! Avocado toast- with the toppings or without, but definitely with a poached egg. Pancakes perfect. Amazing bacon. Only issue was we had to keep tracking down waitstaff. But we were there at an off time of day. Cool spot.

    This is a great spot for brunch! The vibes were cool, staff was very sweet and informative. The food was delicious and a good sized portion for the price. For $100 (before tip!!) we got 2 baked goods, 2 entrees, 2 drinks, and 2 lattes, which for NY is a pretty good deal. I will definitely be coming back!

    Not only is As you are a beautiful spot, but the staff is lovely, attentive, and the food is delicious. We tried many different things off of the brunch menu and loved them all. The pastries are really special, and we appreciated all of the little details like candied ginger on my chai latte, excellent toast from Orwasher’s, and the best cinnamon bun ever.

    We had drinks in The Lobby bar, and Buzz was our bartender. He was friendly and he remembered us from a previous visit in November. We had dinner in As You Are, and Jesus was our server. The food was very good, and the portions were also adequate. Jesus tended to our every request. We had a nightcap at the bar in the restaurant and Mo was our bartender. He had great conversation, and it was a perfect end to a splendid evening.
