I had french onion soup and it was so delicious. I also had the signature burger and it was very flavorful and juicy meet. My friends and I didn’t skip the desserts. We highly recommend the apple pie, key lime slice, and warm cookie with ice cream. They are superb!

Lovely food and very nice bar, great service. The space is a bit spare, however, and often feels crowded.

Fine weekend brunch food and service. Often crowded. Liked by diners in their 20s to 40s, some of whom speak loudly, VERY LOUDLY. Some older folks find the continuous shouting unpleasant. We need to come at quieter times.

Been here a few times for lunch and dinner with a few brunches. Love the bright atmosphere in the front with floor to ceiling windows and exposed brick. Very cozy without being pretentious. The back is great for more private, intimate meals. You have to try their burger -- it's delicious and seasoned just right. Their salads are also light, flavorful, and filling. The burrata salad is one of my favorites and I sometimes add grilled chicken for more protein. Definitely a great spot for a quick lunch!

I met a friend here for brunch and loved it! I am not familiar with Murray Hill and took a bet on Hill and Bay and was not disappointed. We hadn't seen each other in a while and the wait staff was super patient as we chatted and kept getting distracted from ordering. Once we were ready to order all of our answers and special requests were taken care of (we are both kind of picky eaters). Our coffee and water were always full. The food was goo. I got a burger and fries, loved the burger wasn't crazy about the fries. My friend got pancakes and eggs and said both were great. Overall we had a very good experience.

When we arrived, our table for 7 was set up and ready to go. Our waitress was present, prompt, and friendly. The food came out quickly and was delicious. The noise level wasn't too loud, which allowed us to very pleasant conversation. It was spacious and cozy at the same time. I'll definitely be back!
