    Very good food, large portions. The only issue was we ordered a second round of mimosas as we were finishing our food. As we just began to drink them, the staff started bussing our table as we were finishing up. They hovered over us and kept reaching to grab things over and over. That was pretty bad

    They forgot the toast and nothing explained. And even told us it’s not charged (toast is part of the omelette)

    Pleasant early afternoon lunch and pleasantly surprise that the brunch menu was available. All three entrees were great as was dessert. Service was professional and efficient.

    Dine at Bocado frequently and always enjoy. Last night was especially fun since two parties in the restaurant were celebrating their runner each in the NY Marathon. It added to the atmosphere and made dining fun.

    We were at the MET, and after a great date at the museum, we wanted to grab a dinner at a walk in distance. This place will not disappoint you, in a corner, very comfortable, great food, large portions though in case you want to share the prefix dinner . I recommend the Sancerre; just beware of the outdoor noise can be loud, they managed to move us indoors once we noticed it.  Prices just fine for New York City. :-)
