Lacey's Bridge Tavern — Restaurant in New York

I came to Lacey's bridge tavern for brunch based on great reviews about the food and atmosphere.

The atmosphere is a cute, homey, and dated pub (nothing wrong with that). The tables are lined in thick blue vinyl, and the walls are plastered with awards and articles which boasted flavor and freshness.

Let's talk about the food though, the brunch menu isn't that big - which is usually a good thing, in my opinion, but after reading the menu, I felt underwhelmed.

Brunch started with a basket of baked goods, a store bought Entenmann's variety most likely. We went on to order the turkey burger and the frittata.

The turkey burger was the lowest grade of burger you can ever get. Doesn't seem like it was seasoned and put together in house. Just some store bought frozen patty, with that crispy outer layer, synthetic texture.

The frittata was salty but otherwise uneventful and bland, greasy, overcompensated by a thick layer of cheese and bacon.

However, THE BLOODY MARY IS SO GOOD. Reminiscent of my favorite in New Orleans, with some pickled string beans as garnish.

Might go back...

There was a separate menu with other specials so there was plenty of variety! We ordered the hot anti-pas for the appetizer, and it was plenty for 6 people. It was delicious! We also ordered the fried calamari, wasn't something to rave home about, the sauce that came with it was a little weird, can tasting if you will.

For the mains, we ordered the chicken Gabriella, and mussels with linguine and red sauce. Highly recommend both! Both were very flavorful and fresh. And there was plenty to go around. We even took home left overs.

For dessert we had waffles with ice cream, and a s'mores platter. It was literally the best ice cream I've ever had.. and it was HUGE!

I highly recommend this place if you want to feed a big party with delicious quality food. Service was great and quick. Our waitress was constantly checking up on us. Will...

I hadn't visited here before today. TARA warmly greeted me on a fine, sunny brisk day and found her to be so kind and genuine. My drink order was taken and within a minute or two took my order and brought an amazing tray of dips for the fresh Italian bread. Butter, seasoned olive oil and a delicious homemade hummus with tahini/garlic spread.

I had the most amazing Tomato shrimp bisque in a cup (the bowls are massive). Hot and so tasty. I was literally scraping the cup to get everything drop!

The ribeye special with baked potato was over the moon!

I was originally here for the Lobster seafood fra diavolo but that's going to have to wait till a Thursday visit, which I can't wait for with dear friends.

Check out the menu. Most the items are family style large portions which is right up my alley!!

Terrific experience and I'm...
