    I had an outstanding brunch at Valerie and was thoroughly impressed. I ordered the West Coast Double Double with a poached medium egg and bacon, and it was absolutely perfect. The beef was cooked to a perfect medium — juicy, flavorful, and incredibly satisfying. The pickles added a nice tang, and the milk bun was soft on the inside with a light, satisfying crisp on the outside. The sauce was a perfect combo — rich, balanced, and tied every element of the burger together beautifully. What really stood out was the poached medium egg. It’s surprisingly difficult to get right, but they nailed it. The yolk had just the right amount of run and elevated the entire dish. Service was exceptional, with staff who were both friendly and attentive. The ambience was stylish and relaxed, and the noise level was low, making it a peaceful and enjoyable brunch experience. Great food, great atmosphere, and truly great value. I’ll definitely be returning.

    Service was excellent. (John/tall dark curly hair actor was a GREAT server!) Bus people attentive. Food was good. Blue corn chips were stale and promptly replaced. Good location for pre theatre dining. TY for Birthday desert. Special occasion. Noise LEVEL was EXTREME, INTENSELY and almost PAINFULLY LOUD. Will likely not return due to LOUD Volume of Restaurant.

    12 PM brunch Sunday pre-theater. The decor is lovely, old-fashioned 20s style with a lot of provocative artwork. We were seated quickly and given a cool “gin” week cocktail menu along with the main food and cocktail menu. 2 had bloody Marys that they liked,1 had a prosecco,gin, berry juice cocktail that was great. Our waitperson from Ireland was lovely and described the dishes to us. We had shrimp and grits, Denver omelette and chicken Milanese. All were tasty, had the right amount of spice/heat, very enjoyable. We had a leisurely, unrushed meal (they had a jazz trio playing ) and then walked over to our play. I would absolutely do brunch here again, especially if I had matinee theater tickets.

    In New York for fun. We discovered Valerie after reading NY Tourism about brunch restaurants. It was near our hotel and exceeded our expectations. My sister had the chicken Milanese sandwich and I had the Baby oven pancake. Both were excellent as well as friendly service. It was so good we went back for Sunday Jazz Brunch as well. We both had omelets serviced with a leafy green salad and breakfast potatoes. Both days our meal started with fresh baked biscuits served with a fresh berry compote.. Highly recommended for brunch. On our next visit we plan on going there for lunch or dinner depending on schedule.
