Love Sant Ambroeus. This is one of my go-to places
Always a pleasure
One of my favorite places for dining in the city.
Ordered prosciutto cotto and got prosciutto crudo, asked for a substitution and it was denied, cappuccino was cold and service was impersonal almost snooty!!!
The restaurant is always reliable. One of my favorites in Manhattan.
Easter brunch. Wonderful as always!
Excelente!! Bello lugar. Buen servicio
Excellent service and food!
great outdoor dining experience. safe, clean, space for out three person party. plenty of fresh air but still felt private. excellent service and great food. they do old world european cafe like no one else in nyc.
The menu was very diverse and had many good choices. The food and service were excellent. It was very pricey, however. Excellent wine list and wines.
Stuck up service inside and outside - curb your racial profiling please.
Ate breakfast outside in the enclosed huts - so lovely and cozy! Can’t wait to go back!
Atmosphere in the outdoor heated cabins is among best in New York. Warm, cozy, and nice. Food is pretty good, expensive. Service fast.
Weekend breakfast. Nice overall experience. Cold was good, as an avid tea drinker, I liked the fact that, as an Italian cafe, they served an Italian tea brand; good attention to detail. Had better value for money at higher end hotels though.
Perfect for a Sunday breakfast
Lovely. Indoor Dining very comfortable and safe.
Some loud diners nearby made it annoying.
Excellent food and service always! Have been coming here for decades and will continue ofc!!!
Great to be back inside Sant Ambroeus. Great measure to keep everyone safe and distanced!
It took a while for us to finally get the bill. I got the eggs with shaved Parmesan and was underwhelmed especially for the cost. Otherwise, the restaurant was lovely and our server was very nice.
Impeccable service regardless of what's going on in the the world today
Muy rico! Un ambiente muy agradable! debes probar los huevos revueltos con parmesano
The food is reliably great. The avocado toast with soft-boiled eggs is to die for. The best latte/cappuccino in town. Price is not for the faint of heart, but if you like a great breakfast, S A can't be beat!
Very peasant experience. Staff I very friendly. Food was very good. I was even offered there best seller desert for free for my birthday.
We ordered Bellini's, Coffee, Smoked Salmon and Carbonara. Good service, tasty food.
the service at Madison is consistently excellent, and as good as any place we've ever dined. always unassuming and unpretentious. no one ever talks about "taking care of you tonight". they simply do it.
Good experience!
I love Saint Ambroeus, especially this location. It is my favorite, even during the no indoor dining period. The staff is always so kind and courteous. The food always delicious. I do wish they would add the gnocchi special to the permanent menu. It is one of the most delicious dishes I’ve ever tasted!! T hi is will always be on my list of top NYC restaurants.
Embarrassing in front of my business clients when they insisted that there was no reservation but could accommodate us.. It made me look disorganized and unprofessional. Most upsetting.
What a great place. As close to being in Rome as you can get. From the front of the restaurant, which has small tables, a friendly bustle, a coffee bar with the BEST coffee in NYC, plus yummy desserts and gelato, to the white tablecloth seating in the back of the restaurant w helpful, professional service and delicious menu, it doesn’t get better than this.
Birthday at my fav spot
we sat in the back room. having made a reservation, they kindly let us stay for a pastry and a hot drink. very nice, felt like back in rome. not cheap
Quite noisy - exorbitant price for very mediocre omelet and frigid pecan pie. A disappointment
Best vitello tonnato anywhere. Marvelous wines. Excellent service. A thoroughly wonderful experience.
Terrific food and vibe,,, service is a bit scattered.
We went in for an early dinner and were not disappointed!
Their soups are amazing.
Their salads are not far behind. We both ordered pasta---quite good!
It will always remain one of my favorite neighborhood go-to places.
I particularly like their hours: open all day/night:)
Fantastic food with equally great service!
A joyous atmosphere. Perfect for our lunch. As a New Yorke native, I tend to be critical. However, our experience touched all the bases. We loved our experience there.
Wonderful place
Love their Vitello tonnato
I love this place
What a lovely place. They made the best cappuccino I've had in years, and service was impeccable. Recommended.
