Oscar's Place is rated 4.8 out of 5 stars, based on 279 reviews!
Cozy, warm, cute place (very small!) Had a very hearty beef stew served with fries. Delicious!
Came for the fish & chips. It was delicious! It was crispy, tender, and not overcooked. Got a stout to go with it. The service was excellent.
Very lucky I decided to stop here randomly years ago. Came back recently and everything feels the same. Tiny and cozy in the best way possible. Food and service has been great every visit.
Very large portions of good food
Cute friendly unassuming great mushrooms on toast
Great british food! I had the Shrimp and chips. it was delicious!
Very personal atmosphere. Great food. Chicken and waffles were
Amazing delicious beer battered fish and chips
(Translated by Google) We were very comfortable on the terrace. They were very friendly and the food was very delicious.

Estuvimos muy a gusto en la terraza. Fueron muy amables y la comida muy rica.
The Gazpacho is amazing on a hot summer day
I dined there twice last week! The fried chicken on waffles is my new addiction! Dangerously good ! I had a tall citrus y beer with it. Great combo. The next day I ordered their burger. Also so good! This has great alfresco dining! I love the vibe- charming, cozy and affordable. Not fancy pants annoying lol it delivers on taste, quality and atmosphere! So so glad i found it.
Absolutely delicious and perfect spot to split a bite and still be happily satisfied and full.
I would give them 1000 stars if possible
Every time, yes!
Just walking by.. menu looked good. Just had a really terrific chicken & avocado sandwich on warm brioche roll!
Amazing.

Was a little disappointed I have the eggs Benedict and it was served on slightly burnt toast not an English muffin I should have gotten the fully English which I'm sure it would have been much better and authentic
Amazing food, down to the bread and butter. Get the specials!

Great food very tasty..yum yummy..
Lovely atmosphere pleasant service
Love this place staff is always very nice to me and accommodating Small space but everyone working there and even the patrons themselves always work together to create room for everyone to sit down and have a nice meal. One of my favorite spots to get brunch or lunch with friends in the Greenwich/West Village area. Obviously the food is good and good selection of beers to pair with my bangers and mash or fish and chips.
The food is good
Great for breakfast
One of the great reliable, delicious places in the West Village. Fluffy omelettes, dangerously delicious waffles, great mussels...and perfect people watching on Houston Street.
Best Breakfast in Greenwich Village
Thanksgiving during Covid was hard but Neil served us the most amazing Thanksgiving meal with juicy Turkey and all the trimmings.
So had youre in the neighborhood and always here for us!
Delicious!!!!
Food was so tasty. A bit pricey for someone from Boston. Customer service was good as well. Recommended
Great coffee . Delicious English Breakfast .
A "hidden" gem in the west village. Super friendly staff. Good, quality food.
New York classic, this place has the best customer service.
The fish and chips are amazing. My father-in-law was searching far and wide for good fish and chips and he acclaimed this was this was the best (outside of Birmingham).
Our kids also had the meatballs with pasta and French onion soup which were all .
We ordered the chocolate mousse as well which was perfect for a couple of us to share. I cant wait to come back, maybe tomorrow! Was perfect on this chilly, NYC day!
Fish and chips
Nice-a bit pricey
Very qunt. Attentive staff and good food. Very chill vibe. I love it.
Good for any meal! One of the best restaurants in the area
By far the best place to have brunch. Reasonable prices, friendly staff and great drinks. Mimosa is made with fresh orange juice . Chicken and waffles are to die for. Both are very savory, crunchy and the maple syrup is something you never thought would compliment it so well.
I love this restaurant. The staff are all so lovely. The food is SO GOOD, it is very worth it.
Great food
Honestly unbelievable. Chefs fantastic - kind server. Best meal (fish and chips with chocolate mousse) I've had in ages
With just a few tables outside, this restaurant provides an intimate dining experience. The burger was alright. The bread held together but the meat was a tad overcooked on the outside. It was pretty filling.
Been going 20+ years (when they were called something else), they have the same staff and owner/manager. I have never had a bad plate! Breakfast, lunch, brunch and dinner are perfection. A varied menu, but not so much that it's hard to choose. Great service. Great people watching. Truly the tops!
Great unpretentious place. Friendly staff and good food.
Such a lovely spot to get a full British breakfast with the same quality of the former Petite Abeille but a bit more love and personality
Went tonight for the first time and we loved it. My 3 super picky kids ate non stop and asked to go back already. The chicken n waffles/fries and salmon n veg were delicious. Server was pleasant and accommodating. Will def be back!
Excellent food and service
A great spot for breakfast or brunch. They serve British breakfast food. The hot chocolate is delicious and a must try. The food was tasty and the service was good too.
Delicious food, attentive service, reasonable prices; I'm definitely going back!
Has great food. They have a good amount of tables and dividers so very Covid friendly. I would definitely recommend going here all the food was great not one complaint. Also, the owner Neil, is great!
Great food !
Simply amazing. Couldnt be happier with the English breakfast.
Love the food and the folks!
(And the fries)
Legit the best French fries I've ever had .. soup is always great .. next up are the mussels
I think this place is owned by the employees so even one more reason to come
Incredible coffee and English breakfast (I think the best Ive had in the city) in a cozy, neighborhoody place. How can you not love this place??
Best place for British food
great food.
Get the full English breakfast. It is such a treat when you can find a place that does it right! Their tea selection was small, but it was nice to have a proper cuppa with our breakfast. Small place (maybe 10 tables) so you may have to wait. We went when they first opened to avoid the crowd.
I just had an Iced Tea and it was perfect. It's also the nicest people and service I had in New York so far.
Came by for a quick late breakfast and their waffles are to die for!! Highly recommend! Staff was super quick too. Walked straight in and was met with fast service and a great meal.
My favorite place for breakfast or lunch. I bring the grandchildren for Mac and cheese and burgers. Delicious
Best fish & chips in the area, excellent english breakfast, and great service!
I actually love this place, the food is on point!
Oscar was the best. He was very attentive and service was prompt and professional. He added that UK charm and was perfect.
Excellent gazpacho & mimosas!
Loverly little part of Greenwich village!!! Even got PG tips for a tea!
First time visiting this gem last night, food was delicious! The beef stew had the most tender cuts of beef and the accompanying French fries were crisped to perfection! Kind and attentive staff as well.
Excellent service. Juicy burger and tasty chocolate mousse.
Fish and chips. Fresh and tasty. Quality ingredients. Nice chill vibe
Friendly service, delicious food and very reasonable pricing. Will be back!
Awesome place, the fish and chips was incredible, and the staff extremely nice and considerate ! I highly recommend !
Incredible English breakfast.
Had the best fish and chips Ive had for a long long time, cooked fresh the batter was fantastic and really good chips, home made tartar sauce as well, Im a Brit so I should know, cant wait to go back!
Quirky little cafe bar, great ambience. Weird place for a rest room
Favorite Sunday brunch in New York City
Great place with a variety of foods. very small
(Translated by Google) I only had espresso and croissant so I can't judge the food but the prices are good considering west village. It is a historic place, friendly staff, excellent location
(Original)
Ho preso solo espresso e cornetto quindi non posso giudicare il cibo ma i prezzi sono buoni considerando west village. un locale storico, personale gentile, ottima location
A quant little place to get excellent British style foods. Great for a good convo catch-up with a friend!
Best fish and chips in New York!
Excellent service and food
Such a gem! Delicious, attentive service, adorable, and always a seat available.
Lovely place. Ive been trying to find a great British spot for ages and this is the one! Got a full English breakfast, spot on, and my girlfriend got the smoked salmon benedict, spot on.
The atmosphere is really nice, cozy place, service is great.
And finally, the owner is lovely, friendly and funny.
Cozy (i.e. small) and friendly. Better English breakfast than Ive ever had in London.
This is a small restaurant, with a very cost layout. You will get all of the attention you need while you are there. The food is always amazing and great value!! We always enjoyed their English breakfast!!
Had no idea this British restaurant was so close to my office. Really great bangers and mash, authentic sausages. Fish and chips far better than the Gordon Ramsay ones I had at the weekend. Great selection of British beers and the service was prompt and kind.
Cozy, quirky, DELICIOUS! Ended up here for Thanksgiving and it was glorious.
Excellent food
i loved this place on my visit their dream macaroni and cheese was in my opinion absolute bliss and gives Gordon Ramsey's gouda mac and cheese a run for its money, being some of the best mac and cheese ive ever had! the staff and owner was very nice and the atmosphere was nice too! i went here to talk with a local friend which is also friends with the owner which recommended this place. if you go here you gotta have the dream mac and cheese! greetings from California!
This is probably one of the village's well kept secrets. Don't expect a fancy place, but the location has a great atmosphere.
We came in by chance, looking for a quick beer and a quick bite. While the places round Christopher street were all totally busy, we had a nice table in here, very friendly and helpful service, great beer, and the food was outstanding. I will definitely return.
The beef stew was unbelievably tasty served with excellent crispy chips (fries if you are American) and the bangers and mash was great, it just needed onion gravy to take it to the next level.
Ive been here 3 times. I wish I took better photos. This place is charming. Its tiny. The service is friendly and fast. The people who work here, including the chef, are warm and kind and easy going. The Belgian hot chocolate is fresh and delicious. My French onion soup, eggs and toast, salad and a tuba melt w fries were each delicious. They play French music and 1930 s jazz and pleasant music to eat to. The cozy, candlelit, yellow tuliped atmosphere is sweet. I love this place!!
Amazing beef stew. Fall apart meat. Best meal we had out in NYC. Highly recommend
What a gem! The food was so delicious. The dining room is small and minimal, but the food exceeds expectations. Very charming place in a lovely neighborhood.
Troute almandine is the delicious dish name. Order it next time you go!!
Also you need to try the pasta! Delicious and perfectly burnt cheese on top as well as the ham inside
Food was so tasty. A bit pricey for someone from Boston. Customer service was good as well. Recommended
I found this hidden gem while strolling around the west village with my girlfriend. I had passed by it a number of times, but never managed to find a table (other NY denizens clearly share my love for the place), until I did....and I was enthralled. The food, the vibe, the service, everything makes you feel at your best friend’s place, and this friend is a helluva cook (and loves feeding you with comfort food). The burger is amazing, fish and chips crisp and delicious, chicken and waffles to die for, and the bread pudding...oh, the bread pudding.
Hands down my new favorite brunch spot in NYC.
?Oscar’s place
This place is the one I always prefer. I eat in many restaurants but here I constantly return again and again. The crew is very professional and the cooking they cook is so delicious. I never miss an opportunity to have a decent dinner in this restaurant. Highly recommended.
One of the great reliable, delicious places in the West Village. Fluffy omelettes, dangerously delicious waffles, great mussels...and perfect people watching on Houston Street.
We were treated to a delicious breakfast at Oscar’s. The owner Neil (Oscar’s dad) took great care of us, even happily agreeing to take our photo. Waffles with strawberries & cream. eggs Benedict, delicious hot tea we’re all highlights, along with the service. Should we make our way back to the Village lunch or dinner in the future, we will absolutely return!
Thanksgiving during Covid was hard but Neil served us the most amazing Thanksgiving meal with juicy Turkey and all the trimmings.
So had you’re in the neighborhood and always here for us!
Delicious!!!!
Awesome find, deceptive from the front - kitchen seems like a Tardis based on what they punched out. Great host, nothing an issue and the home made baked beans were the bomb!
Good value, great menu and cosy home style atmosphere.
Neil is the best. British breakfast is delicious especially the bacon?
Found this place out of chance, so glad we did. Excellent food and wonderful staff. Only a small place but we'll worth a visit.
Very small area but the good is amazing. Great service too
Excellent English breakfast ???? very welcoming
Banter
Ambience
Laughter
And, exquisite cuisine.
Perfect for a casual sunday brunch.
Prices are fair and plates are very generous.
I really loved eating here. The atmosphere is intimate and very friendly. Service is amazing. We got the fish and chips of course along with the burger and both were exceptional.
Really great did in this tiny spot. I had a great breakfast. bathroom is tiny and I don't think it's handicap accessible.
Very good eggs benedict and fish & chips. Both favorites. Have only order for delivery from here; so I cannot say what it's like eating at the location. But, hope to eat there soon.
Proper English breakfast... and the best omelettes and hash in the West Village! Amazing staff and fresh food.
Tried the kidney pie at dinner and it was great. Outdoor seating on non crowded West village neighborhood also felt nice
Cozy and funky, with an Anglo-Belgian heritage, this place offers great mussels, fish and chips, plus other seafood and comfort food. The space is a bit cramped, but the service is friendly. Interesting beer menu. Sidewalk seating in good weather. Mid-range prices.
We dined here in January & loved it so much, that we had to come back. Nigel, the owner is awesome, the food is spectacular and the place is cozy & clean.
We stopped by this place for a casual brunch on a Saturday morning. This did not disappoint! I would definitely recommend the eggs Benedict. The service is top notch as well.
Super cute spot. Very small inside so call ahead for a reservation (they maybe have 8 tables total). Food was great and good prices ($21 for coffee + benedict (that came with side salad and yummy mashed potatoes). They have everything from waffles, to benedicts to croque monsieur. The true charm of this place is the stuff - they are incredibly nice and attentive. Wonderful service. This will definitely become one of my regular spots for a casual brunch. Highly recommend!
All the food is good here, but the grilled calamari is wonderful. Their Belgian Waffles are super, too. It's a small space, but has a charming outdoor seating area. We were well rewarded as the food was the best we had in NYC. A fairly limited menu of classics but absolutely delicious and good value too. A nice atmosphere and attentive staff.
This is EXACTLY what is missing in the collapse of the West Village. This is a delicious neighborhood restaurant. Breakfast, lunch & dinner. Literally everything is delicious. Insanely good mussels, beef stew, salads, omelettes, Mac & cheese, French onion soup, English breakfast with REAL Cumberland sausages, HP Sauce etc.
The owner, Neil, a Brit expat, is a delight, as are Trinidad & the chef ( who's name I forget ) working dinner are lovely. We'd be lost in this corporate and overly fussy neighborhood without Oscars. Support your individually owned businesses. So important. We love this place and have gone here for years. We'd have to move if they closed.
What may look like a local coffee shop is actually putting out really serious food that's very good at lunch and even better at dinner. Friendly service adds to the experience. Great burger. Perfect tuna melt and omelets and maybe the best fries in town.
The highly rated Oscars was recommended on Yelp when we walked through. It's a very small cute place. Felt a bit out of place when greeted at first but as we got settled, the host was very nice. We tried their tea and featured fish and chips and also their omelette.
Their fish and chips were excellent! And I've lived in England for a short while. Totally recommend it. Know that you will be very full afterwards.
Great food in a tiny hidden place. My wife had the mussells and finished the whole two pounds and loved it my steak was full of flavor and the aspall English cider was great (at least my mom and wife said so). Would come back to this hidden gem in s heartbeat!!!!!
OMG!!!! Despite the know it all Frenchman who comes in everyday with his know it all banter... this place is flawless... the food is flavorful.. I've tried every item off of the menu and I've never once been disappointed.. I highly recommend oscars... I eat here 5 days a week. Great staff as well. Sometimes me mates are me mates. And sometimes me mates mates become me mates
Great friendly service and delicious breakfast! We'll be back.
Fantastic food!!! Excellent choices.... felt as if we were touring Europe! Enjoyed brunch on Sunday and would go back again for sure!
Enjoyed the Croque Vegetarian and the fries. Tasty, crunchy, fries. And loved the great music playing in the background.
Great brunch, sitting outside on a beautiful spring day. What could be better?
I love the coolness of sitting, soaking up the vibe of Hudson while having a cold English ale and friendly service in the big city
Superb Neighborhood bistro, friendly and an example of what makes Greenwich Village one of the nations great places to live.
Stopped by for the first time on the way to a show at the MCC Theater. I had the pan fried salmon and apple delight for dessert. It was delicious and I hope to go again,
Always a pleasure to visit Neil at Oscar's place with my family!! Great coffee, food and most important brilliant atmosphere/ customer service!! A must when in nyc!???
The most perfect little diamond in the rough!!!! The food was delightful, the service was excellent, and the atmosphere was so very charming!!! What a wonderful find!!
Good place for breakfast or brunch, if you live nearby. Not sure if it's worth a trip, but to be fair I haven't tried their signature English breakfast. I had egg benedicts and they were very good. Will stop by again one day!
Very cute place with outside seating. Great food and service! Friendly staff. Definitely coming back!
I came for dinner with a friend on a Saturday at 7, and there was ample room for seating inside and out. What I especially liked was that the atmosphere did not feel rushed or hectic as is common in many restaurants in the village. I ordered the vegetarian croque which came with fries (crispy and perfectly salted) and a salad. The croque, which I had not had before, is like a large open-faced sandwich with spinach, tomato and cheese. Very delicious. I will be coming back.
My friend and I sat outside for brunch. It's a perfect place to sit on a nice day. Despite my pescatarianism, they were able to put a full English breakfast together for me and substituted the meat dishes for sauted spinach and mixed fruit. They didn't balk at my request and were very accommodating. Lovely service and delicious food.
I'd probably give this place 3.8 stars. Service was just okay. Fries were good. Fish was okay. Eggs Benedict was okay. Overall nothing special but not bad.
Great place for hearty food and when you want somewhere a bit less busy to sit and read etc while you eat. :)
This place is a super gem! Tiny and personable and the food is the best delivery after ordering from the best restaurants! Great fish and chips! Great service also!
Oscars place was a delight. Most brunch places are always packed so when my friend and I got there and there was a seat we knew we stumbled on a gem. Packed places are great and all but when you're a New Yorker and you just want a nice lovely breakfast/brunch where you can hear yourself talk it's hard to find even at some of the favorites.
I ordered the English breakfast as I was craving English food. I mainly came here because of it since it reminded me of my time in London. I was not disappointed ! There were tomatoes, mushrooms, beans, sausage, bacon, and egg. Everything tasted authentic and the tea was fantastic! We sat outside since it was such a nice day and overall very much enjoyed it. Sometimes when there's outdoor seating and indoor seating the service is slower however Oscars Place was fairly attentive. I recommend coming here if you want to try British food without the trip to Britain.
I took advantage of the Yelp ofer and got a free tea. It is the best English Breakfast I have ever had. I love their chips. Very good potatoes. My friend ordered malt vinegar and they had real malt vinegar.
I came here two weeks ago for brunch and enjoyed my meal. Service was a little slow but very friendly. The food was good and the tea was excellent. I had the full English breakfast which was quite indulgent.
Very good English breakfast. Excellent PJ tips tea. Amy's bread was warmed up for us. The "chips" were the best part of the meal! Absolutely fantastic, -- malt vinegar was available upon request. My only complaint was that the prices were a bit too high. $18 for a full English breakfast is a bit much. Could have been $15. Food was authentic and tasty. Service was swift and cordial.
An intimate corner location with a cozy British slant, Oscar's features a selection of breakfast options styled after the local morning traditions from across the pond.
The place is small, but they take reservations, though the largest party they can sit is 5-6 people at the corner table in the back left corner of this space. There are two tables for 4, and another 2-3 tables for 2. On a sunny day they have outdoor sidewalk seating under red umbrellas enough for 10-12 people. These are set up as tables for two. Inside, the kitchen is basically right behind a bar area on the back right, and it's fun to watch the chef prep and cook.
I highly recommend the English breakfast ($17), which is a hearty combination of two eggs, bacon, sausages, toast, grilled mushrooms and tomatoes, stewed beans and the mash of the day. I ordered the Arundel omelette ($14.75) which had bacon, onions, mushroom and spinach and came served with a side salad and mash. A second and third friend ordered the Eggs Cocotte ($15) and English breakfast omelette ($15.50) which both came with mash and side salads also.
Service was courteous and quick, and we left very satisfied with our experience. As we were leaving we saw a berry French toast and a burger being served and they looked like great options to try next time.
Bonus: Check in on yelp for a free coffee or tea!
Wonderful traditional English Breakfast. The sauted mushrooms were a nice added touch.
All for $17 plus the mimosa was divine. The only place I've visited that knows how to make them...champagne w/ a splash of OJ. A genuine pleasure. BEST homemade toast EVER:-). Treat yourself & visit Oscar's Place ASAP!
Super breakfast in the village. We got the traditional English breakfast and a waffle with berries and ice cream. So good! Service was top notch as well. Likely to return.
English breakfast rocked. Once known as Petite Abeille, Neal the then part owner took over the space and renamed it after his young son Oscar. I've been going to this former Petite location for well over 20 years and as of recent I've noticed that my favorite Petite wasn't sustaining its former greatness. Much worse in fact. This time around I decided to give Petitie one last try when to my dismay I saw Oscar's Place painted on the glass front.
We decided to try it and we were glad that we did. Upon entering little had changed from its former life--except for the missing Tin Tin books--and we were greeted by familiar faces. We inquired as to what happened and we were told the story of Neal's takeover. I was excited because to me Neal was Petite Abeille of Hudson and Grove. No other location ever captured our interest and we've visited them all. The menu has undergone a transformation from Belgian fare to British. Some familiar items included waffles and mussels. There were others but under different names. Gone from the menu is Natalie's spicy tuna. Enter David's spicy tuna. Who is David? Who was Natalie? Who is John Galt?
I had the fantastic English breakfast. Think Irish breakfast sans those disgusting blood sausages. Everything was served with a serving or two of Amy's Bread. In short, gone is a Village institution but in its place is the next great spot. I can't wait to return...
Perfect kind of place.
Highlights include the omelets, English breakfast, waffles and truly friendly vibe.
I always loved this place when it was Petite Abeille and now it seems the manager and chef have taken over from the Belgian owners mixing in some British with the Belgian, but kept everything that was good.
It's not everywhere in the city that you can get good English food from a real Englishman!
They are super super friendly! The owner Neil is there all the time & remembered me on only my second time there!
Everything I've had or seen on the menu is good.
Lovely quiet atmosphere so you get great service. They have a pile of kids books if you need to keep little ones occupied.
I ate the chicken pie- like a fancier inside out version of a pot pie. Even my grandmother who is an avid health nut said their French fries were delicious.
Served great fresh bread while we ordered.
Totally happy, will definitely go back.
The Belgian Flemish beef stew (in a rich and velvety prune-based sauce) is an utter knockout. And I hardly eat red meat!
It's hard to believe they turn out such world class comfort food in a cosy yet cramped nook that's gotta be smaller than my studio apartment.
We were looking for Le Petit Abeille at this address, and discovered that it's now called Oscar's Place. But it's the same people, the same great food and very friendly and excellent service. The menu is updated and in plain English now. I ordered "beef stew" and was delighted to find that it's that fabulous dark-beer-and-prunes Belgian delight that I've had here before. Oh, and with the menu in English, they've lowered their prices. Five stars with no hesitation!
A neighborhood gem. Excellent friendly service. Good latte and the "mash of the day" served a with breakfast never disappoints.
What a great find! It's small, cosy, comfortable, delicious-smelling. We had a terrific meal: I had the chicken pie which was light, creamy, stocked with pearl onions, wholly satisfying. My husband loved the fish and chips, and my son adored the macaroni and cheese. Six thumbs up.
We were treated well; such a friendly staff. Neil is a lovely man who knows the business well, and has developed a mouth-watering menu. The Beatles music (maybe it's a regular thing, maybe it was just our luck) completed the British feel. The food is so reasonably priced, too. As soon as we get back to GV, we're returning to Oscar's Place to try other things on the menu. I happily and enthusiastically endorse this little gem of a restaurant - what an utter treat!!
Oscars place is situated not far from the cosy, bustling streets and the harbour. It's a lovely, charming little place with a homey mess and great vibe and music. Neil, the owner and his staff are incredibly friendly and makes you feel right at home.
We went twice during our stay for breakfast, and were not disappointed. We tried the omelettes which are large and come with a salad and a yummy mash of potatoes and leek (changes every week). On our second visit we also had a fruit salad (which was fresh, and handcut - not the disgusting prebought kind) and a waffle - all was so good!
We will definitely be back to Oscar's place next time we visit the city and will be sure to also try the evening menu.
My only regret is I'm not a local so I can't go here everyday.
What a truly lovely place. The combination of Belgian and English sensibilities works incredibly well.
The food is fantastically good and the owner is lovely. We went for Brunch, and enjoyed everything. The prices are reasonable as well.
Just great. We live in TriBeCa but will happily walk here without thinking about it.
I used to go to La Petite Abeille all the time for breakfast, and then one time I arrived to discover it'd been replaced by this restaurant. When I looked closer, though, I realized that the staff and the owner are still the same, and even some of the items on the menu are recognizable from the old restaurant. There are some new things (the English breakfast, for example) and some different twists on old items, but it's still basically the same old restaurant. The food is reliable, the service is good, and somehow there is always that one last table left for us. A nice little unpretentious place in the West Village.
I love, love, love this place. First of all, they are super friendly and have charming British accents. Extra brownie points for that. It's such a cute little neighborhood spot that's great for a lazy breakfast. I had the smoked salmon omelet. It was absolutely delicious. The eggs were perfectly fluffy and I loved the combo of salmon and cream cheese stuffed inside. The spinach mashed potatoes were amazeballs...I'm salivating just thinking about it now...nom nom nomm...
Definitely check them out!
Very quaint and cozy. Polite staff. A little unorganized and in such a small space feels a bit cluttered but brunch was tasty, good and polite service. definitely recommend sitting outside in the mornings.
really tasty, and friendly staff. I had the English breakfast omelette one morning. they brought it pretty quickly and it was great.
To survive in the west village your food and beverage has to be exceptional. Oscars is no exception.
What's different is an energy and air that is unassuming, relaxed, and dare I say, happy.
Your meal is damn good and you leave feeling awesome.
Love this place! The outdoor seatings are super cute with patriotic tablecloth. However the inside of the restaurant is a little too dark and not so fancy. Loved their tomato mozzarella pesto sandwich with the tomato and basil soup. The fish and chips are delicious as well. Each dish comes with an English flag toothpick which is totally cute! Server had a British accent too. Would come back again.
Cozy place with good atmosphere, great food and service. Fish and chips we're winner.
Yummy breakfast! We had the waffle (delicious but a little overpriced since all you're getting is one waffle, no sides), the french toast (very tasty, served with lots of fresh berries), and the West Villager Breakfast (huge omelet with potatoes and a salad - don't really understand the salad for breakfast, but whatever). Coffee was good, too.
My son and I have been coming to Oscar's place for years. We enjoy their waffles, the delicious crispy fish and chips, the omelets and their croque monsieur. In fall and winter the beef stew is a winner. There are several healthier alternatives as well but we usually go for tasty yummy European food. Great small neighborhood place, one of the few still serving delicious food at reasonable prices.
English Breakfast to me is very personal. Having half of my family being from the great country of England, I come to really critique any English (or Irish) Breakfast.
This place has got it right! I went for breakfast around 9:30am because I don't do brunch. I'm not sorry for that because I do like 3 square meals a day.
Go to Oscar's for breakfast! For $17 it is a bargain and it's totally delicious. Ask for the Irish bacon instead of regular American bacon! Everything was cooked perfectly and service was great. The atmosphere is a lot of fun and is definitely a nice hole in the wall! Sit outside on a nice sunny day and gossip while drinking a nice real cup of tea or coffee.
I'll be coming back for the fish and chips. I cannot wait!
Beautiful spring Sunday with a friend we came to Oscar's for a nice British styled brunch. Oscar's Place is located a few blocks away from the Christopher Street PATH station and the 1 subway station and short walk from W 4th subway station. The restaurant is small but they do take reservations if needed. There's outdoor seating available weather permitting.
Very simple menu with mainly egg dishes, whether it be a Benedict or omelette, but some carb classics like waffles. They also have the traditional English breakfast with toast, eggs, sausage, beans and some sort of additional meat. They have a selection of British own PB nibs tea and coffee, free refills. We had a the salmon Benedict and the salmon omelette which comes with scallion cream cheese. My omelette was good, wished it had a little more cream cheese and the mash of the day was mashed potatoes with spinach which was ok.
Everything was cooked and prepared nicely and not too pricey. Would go back to meet someone for brunch or coffee I'd in the area.
Oscar's Place was great! It's a small hole in a wall but had great outdoor seatings overlooking an old church & garden. Fantastic location in the heart of West Village.
The food was great. We had the English breakfast which was delicious & fresh. Also, the chicken pot pie with french fries. The chicken pot pie was so good, flavorful with flaky pie. The french fries were amazing, super fresh. Crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside.
Coffee was fabulous as well! We had americano which was was served fresh. They were very good with refilling our americano at no extra charge.
More importantly, it was dog friendly. We sat outside with our dog Bella and enjoyed our brunch. The service was very casual, friendly & fast. Highly recommended! If they improved & clean up the interior a bit, his place would easily be a 5 star.
Their burger is seriously so incredible! My friend got it medium rare and it was unbelievable! I got eggs Benedict with salmon which were okay, but nothing special. I didn't love the mashed potatoes that accompanied it. I did absolutely love the Belgian waffle with bananas, ice cream, and chocolate sauce. Overall, it's a super cute and quaint place. I really liked it.
My friend and I had a lovely Sunday brunch. Though at a busy time, the service was great and the food was tasty. I ordered the lobster omelet special and the banana bread pudding for dessert. It was all very tasty and had a very authentically New York, hole-in-the-wall feel. The kitchen is even open to the dining space so you can hear and take a peek at what is cooking which is always a fun element!
Came here for breakfast earlier in the week. NEW FAVORITE SPOT. I'm legitimately British and the full English was LEGIT. They make their own baked beans and they were so so good. It was like being back home for a minute. And more than anything, the guy that was running the place was LOVELY. Named the spot after his son, Oscar. Will definitely be coming back.. and telling all of my British (and American) friends where to go.
Unlike a couple of other 'British' places in Manhattan, this was way less snooty and I actually had room to breathe while I enjoyed my food and tea!
YES YES YES
I needed a fish and chip fix. Had read previous reviews and identified the important A Grade food certificate in the front window of this establishment, so decided to give it a try.
It was a chilly Friday evening when I popped in. The place was warm, welcoming and service was timely.
I ordered the beer batter cod and chips and a nice glass of Italian Pino. The wine came promptly and not long after I was served the fish and chips with lemon, tartare sauce and tomato sauce served on the side and a bottle of Sarsons Malt Vinegar.
Being a very critical fish and chip eater I was pleasantly surprised. The meal was piping hot which was excellent, the beer batter was light, crisp and flavoursome covering a very fresh, tasty piece of cod. The traditional chips (not thin fries) were definitely the better end of others I have sampled in NYC.
Several families with younger children came in as I was eating and I liked the fact there were saucepans of lego and Tintin books to entertain them whilst their parents ordered.
This restaurant is not as 'flash' as others in West Village but it serves good food at a good price.
Oscar's was right on the heart of Hudson St in the city - we sat outside and enjoyed the afternoon while eating delicious Omelettes and French Onion Soup and people watching. The owner was SO friendly and made this worth the stop. Highly recommend.
I came to Oscar seeking an English Breakfast. It was scrumptious and exactly what I was hoping for. I had tried Oscar before and had the chicken pie. Holy heaven! It was so good. The restaurant is so inviting, and the acoustics are perfect for conversation. Great place for a date or with friends.
A neighborhood favorite. Down to earth, friendly service. And absolutely delicious food. Especially for brunch and their mashes. Comfortable environment -- you feel deep character and history in the room, which makes the experience so much richer and also gets the conversation going with ease (nothing uptight here!). Highly recommended.
I'm a big fan of this place. Amazing English breakfast. Very crispy bacon. Colombe coffee. Great scene.
After researching a brunch place yesterday I came across Oscar's place on Yelp, and was amuses as well as delighted to go to an English restaurant for brunch after seeing a picture of their English breakfast. I was not disappointed! Although surprised by the size of the establishment I reminded myself that this was the norm in NYC. Equipped with outdoor seating the space was not an issue for me. Although space is limited in the establishment, we were seated very quickly. The food was excellent (yes, I did have the English breakfast which was delicious), their tea was excellent as well (just had a mint tea). I loved that they have the option to order a pot of tea although I wish they would've had more options, but the main tea and tea group we're there (herbal, black, green teas). The atmosphere in the restaurant was friendly and casual and so was the staff very nice and helpful!
1 star shy of 5 because of the space available in the restaurant.
This place is amazing. I've come a bunch of times now and the food is always top notch and the service is super attentive and friendly. My favorite is the eggs coccote, my boyfriend's favorite is the fish and chips. They're super nice and are willing to make things in the morning that are actually from their dinner menu.
They also have boddington's, a great English ale that's hard to find in America. All in all, an excellent find that I would strongly recommend.
Well I really didn't believe it. I come from a family of fish and chip owners from australia and grew up working in them from 12 yrs old. We were feeling nostalgic and looked for the best fish and chips in new York.
We never thought they would be amazing but we were so surprised. The fish is crispy and the batter isn't too thick. The fish is moist and fresh. The fries(chips) are hand cut and the best in the city.
If you love fish and chips don't go further. This place is the best I've had in years.
Go-to cozy restaurant for good food and drink, especially when the weather is bad outside. Lots of books and cute decor. Standard brunch fare, fish and chips, mussels, beer and wine always hit the spot.
First time being here and I can stay it was truly amazing. The person who served us was very very kind, once I was seated he asked if I wanted anything to drink because it was so cold outside.
I had the English Breakfast and it was actually really good. I didn't expect it to be so good. The homemade beans were very sweet and savory, everything was well done.
I can say that I'm truly impressed with the service and food and would definitely come back again.
I was in town visiting & ordered delivery from here and it was REALLY great. The food arrived in a reasonable amount of time, packaged wonderfully so that it didn't affect the quality of the food which was fantastic. I've never had breakfast food to go, so I was a little wary on what I would end up with, but the food was great taste & presentation.
Went with my son before seeing a concert at the Winery .Enjoyed the food tremendously and the service was great .We had the calamari and mussels as appetizer & French onion soup which my son loved .Main course was Fish & chips & mac & cheese.Enjoyed both .The atmosphere was very nice and had a home styled feel to it .We had a great meal which was only outdone by our great chef & waiter .We will be back
We came to oscar's after drawing his card out of our Diners Deck(city shuffles). Really homely and deli style brunch place. Their omelette are cooked so well, great seasoning. Service was fast and good! Recommend!
I came here for brunch and it's a cute little diner-like spot. We were lucky to come early enough and get seats without waiting, because the place got packed shortly after we sat
The menu mostly contained items that I would not typically order, so I was a little worried. I ended up ordering some hot tea and the tuna melt sandwich. It was a great sandwich with amazing french fries and I do not regret it at all!
nice cozy place with great food and service. enjoyed the full english breakfast and will be back for the berry french toast. seating is tight but only had to wait ~10 min for sunday brunch.
Fabulous! Excellent food (generous portions!) at a very reasonable price. Friendly atmosphere (although very cozy - not ideal if you require lots of legroom) and gracious staff. I recommend the eggs cocotte at brunch for something different.
STOP SLEEPING ON OSCAR'S PLACE.
I have never once seen Oscar's on a list of top NYC burgers. One bite and I realized this was the burger that Corner Bistro would produce if it could get over itself and stop being mediocre for 10 minutes. Juicy, charcoal-y, great bun, bacon and fries included. Oh because it's a real restaurant it also comes with bread and butter.
Get it now.
Great food & service. Fish & chips, cauliflower soup are really good
Remarkable little, cozy spot! Great menu! Come here to relax and get out of the busy area or even to meet someone for brunch, or bring a friend out after a simple friendly date. Teas are very flavourful. Small restaurant but come here often when I want to escape a loud environment.
The BEST omelettes & lattes. The breaded cheese croquettes are also amazing.
12/26/16 Dined with my son while visiting NYC for a concert at The City Winery .We loved the people the restaurant and the food .Had a wonderful 3 course meal ..Go there you will love it also
I've gone to this restaurant multiple times and have always been blown away. The food is always excellent and the service is incredibly attentive and polite. They are willing to cook things during brunch from the dinner menu, so accommodating! My favorite are the eggs cocotte, my boyfriend's favorite is the fish and chips. Their coffee is also really good.
I've been meaning to try oscars place for a while. It's an adorable little British restaurant with a small outdoor seating area and a cozy interior. I came here for Sunday brunch with a group of friends and was able to make a reservation for 11am for 6 people the day before. Quite an unusual feat in the city! The food was delicious - I ordered the classic English breakfast with sausage, bacon, eggs, baked beans, mushrooms and fresh bread. Wow was I stuffed after! My friends ordered omelets and burgers. The service was okay and I wish some of my food was less oily, but overall we had a great experience and I would probably come back here.
Good home cooking Wednesday eat as you can best Moles. Ask for Raffi's plates +++
It's amazing!!! My son & I enjoyed our breakfast there. I highly recommend their "waffles', it's soft, fresh & tastes great! Cozy & clean place with a very friendly owner. We'll be back soon. c",)
This was one of the best breakfasts I can remember eating. 14 dollars for a tomato, ham, and Gruyere omelette, comes with mashed potatoes and leeks. I will 100% come back here. Service was quick, it's a neighborhood spot, everyone was friendly.
Great little place feels like your eating with family as Neil , the owner, is real nice guy who really cares about making sure you are enjoying your meal. I had the Arundel Omelette, very tasty & nicely accompanied by some excellent mashed potatoes & garden salad. The coffee was fresh & the whole meal was excellent.
La Colombe coffee is a major plus. But the atmosphere and food makes for a perfect, quant spot for breakfast/brunch.
A real diner with specials! Who would have thought in the neighborhood of the $17 egg sandwich and the $11 glass of juice ( from the holy orange tree) that you could get a 3 egg omelet with home fries, toast, coffee and orange OR tomato juice for $12.95. These gems are out there people. If this were only located next to Toad Hall I would never go home!
One of the best brunch places in the city. Only when faced with a sea of mediocre brunch places do you appreciate a spot like oscars place more. Be sure to try the delicious fish and chips. Boddingtons ale is great. Definitely returning
Came here for lunch a couple times, food a delicious, service is a little jerky but overall a great place for brunch
Very cozy (i.e., small but comfortable!) place in the West Village. The food was both good and reasonably priced, though pay particular attention to the daily specials (like all-you-can-eat mussels, or the 1.5 pound lobster). We started with an onion soup and a soup of the day (potatoes), which were both just what was needed to warm up, then moved to a beet and goat cheese salad and the above mentioned lobster special, the whole thing accompanied by some good Pinot Noir.
We were hunting for breakfast and were lucky enough to discover Oscar's. Will be back!
I've only ever been here for breakfast but love this place with all my heart; the owner is wonderful and the food is equally as wonderful.

Love this place!! We had the muscles and the chicken pot pie. Absolutely delicious in the white wine sauce and the pot pie was a little more flowy, it only had a top crust which is nice since you get the yummy smokey flavor minus the carbs of the surrounding crust. French fries came with the muscles and pie and were nice and very crispy. The music and atmosphere was also so lovely and fitting. Definitely coming here again. Service was phenomenal, the waiter was so very kind
The food is decently good, but I wouldn't go out of my way to eat here. The service is great, Oscar (I assume that's his name!) is super friendly, and the ambience is nice. It's a super tiny restaurant with lots of English paraphernalia and an exposed kitchen. It's closer to a diner than a quaint west village restaurant but a good choice if you're in the area and looking for an early weekday breakfast.
Definitely hits the spot when you miss British eats! I ate the the steak and kidney pie and it was delicious
Delicious, great service, kid friendly, great outdoor service, will definitely be back again!!
Have had breakfast and lunch at this place a dozen times. It's a bit pricey but the food is exceptional.
Best omelettes in the WV. Mussels are spot on when you have the inkling. Always happy to,visit a place where the employees live what they do and take care of their customers.
I can't say enough good things about this place. Everything was so delicious, like you'd hope from a diner. Mussels were fantastic and I'd highly recommend, bacon was extra crispy how it should be, and the fries were perfectly crisp.
It also helps that they let us stay late and didn't complain at all. 5 stars all around.
My partner and I spent a week in New York and ended eating at this amazing restaurant 3 times! we loved it that much :) The food was very tasty, the staff were very kind and the service was spot on. I am so glad we came across this little restaurant. I will definatly be returning on my next trip.
Cozy & delicious find! I went here for brunch in a party of 3. We ordered the Big Benedict, the English Breakfast, & the bacon burger (I can't remember the proper name of this dish). Two people checked in on yelp for the free coffee, I ordered the iced chocolate, which is as good as people say and tasted just like a melted fudgsicle.
My burger was cooked to perfection & the fries were really yummy too (though they only gave me 1 piece of bacon). The salmon eggs benedict was great (I stole a bite) as was the mash.
This restaurant is really intimate, you'll be seated quite close to other tables. The service was good. I will definitely come back.
NOT YOUR TYPICAL BRUNCH/DINER. THIS BELGIUM GEM JUST RAISED THE BAR, LIKE REALLY HIGH
I cannot express how much Joy this place gave me. If Jennifer Lawrence came here, it may have been a better movie...
This place gives you jam-packed flavor inside simple items. We came around 2pm. One of my friends wanted french toast but they only had their lunch menu. The kind man offered to extend his breakfast menu and made sure we got French toast. He was extremely friendly the entire time and made us feel at ease, it was a pure delight and he really added to our great experience there
COFFEE - The La Colombe Coffee is absolutely heavenly, strong & smoothly balanced but rich & deep. It was amazing AND.. it's FREE w/ yelp check-in
ARUNDEL Omelette - Mushroom spinach bacon omelette, let me say, it was up there in the best omelettes I ever had. Besides the fresh vegetables, the eggs were so fluffy and light, the cooks carefully cooked it not to char or burn on any sides. Again, so Simple but meticulously executed, it was delicious
PURIST WAFFLES - Waffles w/ Maple Syrup. My friend gave me a piece and I thought I ate a cloud. I had no idea a waffle could be so pillowy and delicate.
BERRY FRENCH TOAST - This is where I would give 6 stars if I could. Look at the picture. Then imagining it taste 100x better. Then, realize, that it tastes MUCH better in person. IT'S ALL ABOUT THAT BRIOCHE, BOUT THAT BRIOCHE, BOUT THAT DELICIOUS THICK BRIOCHE SOAKED IN MILK EGG HONEY CINNAMON WITH A MEDLEY OF BERRIES AND STRAWBERRY SAUCE
Recommended: I can't imagine anything bad here
My fianc and I are in Manhattan for the week and we stumbled upon this superb restaurant. We absolutely love this place! It's a unique mix of English & Belgian cuisine. The Atlantic omelet, filled with smoked salmon, tomato & sour cream is delicious! The tomatoes seasoned over night in lemon and vinegar are to die for; I plan on trying them myself when I get home.
The ambiance is great. Neil Smith, who runs the show, made our visit feel unique with his friendly personality and great sense of humour. The pricing of the food is very fair considering the terrific quality and location of the restaurant.
We will definitely be returning!
Lunch of Hudson Omelet, Fish & Chips, Purist Waffle w/side of Bacon. Coffee. All truly OUTSTANDING! Great friendly service, neat ambiance and prime location. Highly recommend!
Most deliciously home-made, friendly and authentic, family-style neighborhood spot! I just loove Oscar's place The best omelettes, mashed potatoes, salads, soups, BANANA BREAD PUDDING, and so many more! You will definitely love it, just as I did. Cannot stop stopping by ever since thank you, Oscar's team!
Lovely little cafe. Outdoor seating is tight but enough space to be comfortable. Great beer selection. Service was enough. I got the fish and chips special, and it was top notch.

Walked in on a lark to find this unassuming, charming little restaurant that sounds like a tea place but looks like your local diner inside. I couldn't nail down one particular identity for this joint, but no matter.
GF and I ordered the beef stew and Myers Mini Steak & Kidney Pie, respectively. Both were tasty and filling, and I endorse them with zero reservations. It was quite perfect for a quiet dinner on a Sunday night.
My friend and local New Yorker brought me here for weekend brunch, and it did not disappoint!
It is a quaint English style diner tucked away in the quaint, quiet streets of Greenwich Village and is truly a gem. We both ordered the Croque Madame and it was to die for; fresh Gruyere cheese melted to perfection on a slick piece of toast, flavorful ham with a perfectly cooked sunny-side up egg sitting atop. Not to mention the fries were amazing, and I am pretty hard to please.
The ambiance is homey and fun, and I would definitely go again.
Had a wonderful lunch here today. Danny makes a great onion soup and the banana bread pudding was amazing. Danny makes everyone feel welcome!
Delicious. 10/10. I ordered the salmon with seasonal veg - requested no onion, garlic, gluten. They were lovely and accommodating of my dietary needs. Fish was lovely and moist with crispy skin. Veg nicely sauted in butter and fresh tasting. Generous serving of lemon. Highly recommend.
Great comfort food on a winter's night. The service is fantastic and not pretentious at all. Small cozy place, with 50's style music playing, very generous servings, we've eaten here twice now and have not been disappointed. British home cooked style food, tonight's special was the lobster! The desserts are delicious, try the banana pudding.
Best bangers and mash I've had since we moved from London. Fantastic. And the owner was very welcoming.
Delicious food in a comfortable, welcoming, unpretentious setting. So happy this place exists!
First of all a heads up, this place is small, so don't arrive expecting a whole load of room. That being said this is an outstanding British spot for breakfast. Being English I miss a good full English breakfast and this place nails it! An excellent fry up with a mug of PG Tips. Life is really really good. Sausages are like proper English sausages, and they have proper bacon, not the American streaky stuff that they seem to love over here. Mushrooms, baked beans, tomatoe and 2 fried eggs with toast. Good bread! Thick and white and not the sweet American stuff we seem to always have! Seriously this was delicious! The owner (I think) a British guy is probably one of the friendliest of men, he was lovely! If you are English, if you are feeling homesick, hungover, in need of TLC come here!
Excellent food. Friendly staff. Can't go wrong.
Delicious. Roast chicken with fries and salad cooked impeccably. At coffee shop prices. Sweet charmer of a place. Food, service and setting. Made my night.
I came for fish and chips and that's what I got. $19 for one of the greatest fish and chips I've had in a long time.
Neil the owner was very welcoming and inventing to his place, Oscar's which is named after his NY born son. His British accent fit the bill with the awesome dining experience. It's a small cozy place where it seems he has a bunch of regulars come in to enjoy the British cuisine. The menu was filled with other entres that looked very appetizing. There was a chicken pot pie that sounded delicious as well as the bangers and mash. I will be coming back to try some more. It will be hard not to order the fish and chips though. Since I know how great they were I will have to bring someone to try the fish and chips so I could order something else and pick off their plate. Lol they also serve breakfast.
British food done right by a British chap. Cheers!!!
**Don't forget to check in for your complimentary tea Ask for some lemons.
Great fish and chips - great customer service. Not a 5 star because I felt like there was something missing.
Phenomenal find for us thanks to Yelp! My spouse was dying for an Irish / English breakfast and this hit the mark for us both! Great cozy atmosphere you expect in NYC and great music to really set the mood. Started our Saturday milling around the city out perfectly.
Great English/Belgian bistro, very friendly owner, amazing waffles!
Fantastic food, outstanding service!
Ok soooooo!!!!!! This is my second review (as I dont do them) This place is a super gem! Tiny and personable and the food is the best delivery after ordering from the best restaurants! A side note, Try the chicken . Its spectacular!!!!!! Great fish and chips also. Enough said !!!!!
Great food and very friendly staff!
awesome place to eat for a nice dinner out
We stumbled upon this on our visit end of May and loved it ! Proper tea - small but perfect place - great brunch - excellent friendly and welcoming host. We sat there ages people watching and soaking up the atmosphere of the 'Village'. Would definitely recommend and will be back when we're next in New York !
Wow. Wow wow wow!!! LOVED oscars apple pie. Ordered a slice over seamless with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. It was honestly the best apple pie I have ever had I am sitting here still drooling over it and am considering hitting "reorder" again right now!!! Will definitely order again
Ate here both days we were in town; the first was great enough to bring us back, but the second trip had lost a little something. Differences were in the bacon (less crisp and smokey) and beans (undercooked and hard in the center). The host on day one was fun, friendly, and inviting. The host on the second day was stoic and functional.
So knowing that the quality is variable, I'd still recommend this place to others. Coffee was good, the smokey bacon is great, and the variety of the English breakfast is a good start to the day. We're gluten free and no one had any reactions to the food either day.
Kids: Note that there's only one high chair, and both days someone beat us to it, so don't rely on one being available. There are two bins of books inside that can keep the kids entertained while you wait for your food.
do you know who Captain Haddock is?
if so, you'll love all the Tintin paraphenalia... but don't let that fool you, the food is great and the place is open late. Granted, we were a bit drunk, but we _always_ are... Excellent mussels, steak, salads, I think we even had dessert, several bottles of wine, and they not only brought our food but didn't kick us out! Come to think of it, they did seem to change servers mid-meal -- maybe it was the end of the shift? anyhow -- highly recommended, I'll be back!
Charm All the Way!
This is a wonderful treat, nestled into the sleepy Hudson Street locale for anyone visiting the west side. With adorable dining furniture and candle light, this cafe makes for a romantic dinner, but just get there early enough to secure a table you like, as the limited amount makes it a hard-come-by find.
Delicious.
This place is a true WV gem that gets all the variables right. The omelettes are fluffy, french toast perfect, and the coffee's strong, served in a big white beautiful mug. The host has been there for as long as I've lived in the neighborhood (7 years), and he never fails to be pleasant and accomodating. I'm dreaming about their crisp french fries as we speak...
Sports/Drinks/Dinner
This is a very pleasant restaurant and the prices are fair. On Wednesday's is all you can eat mussels for $19.99, which is very tasty. The steak is good as well and the scenery is very unpretentious. Dinning here was an enjoyable experience.
Is it me??????
My daughter and I went with a positive attitude based on the reviews we have read. Perhaps I was in a different place then the other reviews. Very small, appeared to be dirty (although that was only the way it looked to me) broken tile

A cute, consistently excellent Belgian restaurant for the budget-minded. In Short
This cozy tile-floored storefront, with just a handful of tables and an open kitchen, is beloved for brunch. Locals wind down into the weekend with fluffy omelets and sandwiches served on wooden cutting boards with fried-to-order frites. For dinner, the menu leans toward heartier appetites, with specialties like the blanquette de volaille a l'ancienne--a Belgian chicken pot-pie, minus the crust. The wine and beer list includes many reasonably priced options.

great deal! Inexpensive and good. Sit outside for a true European feel. You can't go wrong with the muscles! Cash only so come prepared.
Came for brunch and it was excellent. The food was cooked fresh and came out hot. You can watch them prepare everything. The croissants were OK but the omelets were great. Didn't go for the classic English breakfast as I generally follow the rule of not eating English food unless forced to by family and/or friends. This is a very small place so come early or you might have to wait in line for a while.
This was a wise choice.
Yesterday (08/24), my boyfriend and I headed into NYC for some mandatory shopping, and we came here for brunch to fortify ourselves for our expedition. I was initially put off by the front of the place (it's not much to look at), but the food here is what makes it special and worthy for a second, third, and probably 15th visit.
I ordered the Strawberries and Cream waffles, and my boyfriend ordered the Classic English Breakfast (two eggs, smoked bacon, pork sausage, mushrooms, fried tomatoes, baked beans and bread). My waffles were easy on my eyes and my tummy; it was a beautifully presented dish, with little rivulets of strawberry sauce slowly drizzling down the the peak of fresh whipped cream on top. As for the taste, I loved every bit of it; from the sweet freshness of the strawberries to the crisp edges of the waffles, it was perfection all around. I didn't leave one speck or crumb on my plate. My boyfriend also liked his meal, although he didn't get to finish it.
Our service was pretty good, although we were the only ones in the restaurant. I think it was because it was a bit hot indoors, and everyone preferred to eat outside because the weather was dry and comfortable. But I will recommend this place to anyone who wants a kick-ass waffle.
"Stoke me a kipper, I'll be home for breakfast; Smeg!"
This is a perfect low-key place for brunch (maybe dinner, idk), and where you should take your gf/bf in the morning. It doesn't rage with a DJ and unlikely you will run into anyone you know, so you can quietly and discreetly enjoy your brekkie.
At the former home of Petite Albeile, they lost their 1/2 Belgian origins and went 100% Brit. I've been here twice and had to Classic English Breakfast and the Big Ben...both were stellar and well prepared. I also sampled the chips and veggie Croque. Just not a place to be missed.
What's lovely:
* Food is awesome.
* Service is attentive and personable.
* Prices are low for the West Village
* Good sized outdoor seating area
* Well situated in a sea of decidedly ubiquitous brunch spots
What's pants:
1) Decor won't be featured in the New Yorker
2) This isn't the boozy brunch place you were hoping to find
3) Not good for a gaggle of giggly girls our for brunch (actually this is a plus+++++)
An incredibly nice, relaxed place with incredibly nice staff and great food. Seriously. I've been looking for this place in the west village for a while. Very pleasant to sit outside, they didn't mind me sitting there a long time, the egg white omelette was delicious, the country bread was awesome, the cappucino was great. When the sun became too bright, they responded immediately by opening an umbrella for me. I have to say the interior didn't look as nice as the exterior, but overall I was so pleased with the experience, I will definitely be going back.
3.5 stars. We shared fish n chips and a cup of tea. The food was very good. I'm sensitive to overly greasy food and this food did not taste overly greasy. One was plenty to share. They use sarsons malt vinegar which is a nice touch.
The service is horrible. They are not rude, but it seemed as if we were 100% invisible. No one checked on us at any point, even though they walked past continuously.
Excellent place for dinner! We wanted seafood and the place down the block was packed and too stuffy...Oscars place wasn't far and had by far one of the best fish and chip entrees around. The mash of the night was amazing too!! Brussels and potatoes are my new favorite side.
Food was awesome and the staff is friendly and prompt. Great coffee to. I will definitely be back again. This little spot is full of delicious treats
Lovely small place.
Had lunch there today with a friend, absolutely love this place, nice, hearty and dependable food ( I had the delicious omelet), fantastic coffee and orange juice.
It was raining quite a bit, and it was a perfect spot: very cozy, warm and personable. They have great breakfast food all day (omelets, waffles, burgers/sandwiches and salads), what not to like? The prices are also reasonable for the area (13,50 for the omelet). I imagine it gets super busy on weekends because it's so small inside, but yeah, I recommend it!
Very small, not good for more than 2 really, but that is fine. The omelette was quite large (3-4 eggs i'd guess) and also served with potatoes and salad. The food was good, the ambiance was ok.
A small cozy restaurant. I had an amazing saucy belgim waffle (strawberry/chocolate sauce + icecream) and an even more amazing hot chocolate. Service can be a bit slow, but the food more than makes up for it.
I've never dined at a British/Belgian influenced brunch spot before but being that this was my first time, I was more than satisfied. I came here with my friend and we were greeted so warmly and enthusiastically by our server, Neil. The service here was awesome and his sense of humor made my experience eating here all the more better. I ordered the strawberries and cream belgian waffle with an english black tea (thats apparently popular in the UK). Moving on...the waffle was crisp and fluffed. The strawberry sauce added such a nice touch. It wasn't too sweet or too flavorless. My friend ordered the atlantic omelette which i think has salmon, scallions, and sour cream and came with a side of potatoes. I tried some of hers and lets just say I will definitely be coming back here to try that omelette! We both shared the "soup of the day: asparagus soup". I've tried many asparagus soups before this one and its by far the best..the soup was creamy, not too heavy, salted just right, and best of all delicious! This was a perfect balance for the sweeter dish I had. I can't wait to try more! :]
Oooohhh this place is so cute and cozy.
I went on a chilly Sunday brunch date and the food was delicious and hearty.
I like that they sell a smaller portion size for the Classic English Breakfast (although I don't see it on the menu). Service was impeccable. I felt like I was at my family's home in the Poconos.
Great reasonably priced spot in the West Village.
My husband and I come here all the time for breakfast. The tea and coffee are excellent to start. I typically get the egg white omelet with spinach and it has consistently been great. My husband gets the classic English breakfast which is delicious. We tried the egg-which for the first time which may be my new fav. One of the best breakfast spots in the area. Check it out!!
I'm a bit ambivalent to write a review for Orcar's Place because they only have 20 seatings and I would like to keep this gem to myself!
I have been here for five times before I decided to share this with you, yelpers!
I can't really remember what I had in the past, but among the best are their dreamy mac n cheese, some bread topped with mushroom, lobster omelet, and BANANA BREAD PUDDING.
I can't even explain how great their banana bread pudding. It gives me hard time from time to time to either have their bread topped with mushroom or the banana bread pudding.
Service has always been great! Fast and attentive.
Wasn't a huge fan of the Arundel omelette itself, but the bread (from Amy's I believe) was phenomenal and so was the daily mashed potatoes! I seriously have never had better mashed potatoes. The salad was good as well as the mimosas.
Wonderful experience at Oscar's. A snug little place in the West Village with croque monsieur that is OUT OF THIS WORLD good. The other two in my party got a Belgian waffle and an omelette- both so delicious. The coffee is great too. Extremely friendly staff. It's a must try!!!
This might be one of my favorite restaurants in NYC. I was drawn in by the wonderful smell. It's a tiny, little restaurant with plenty of charm. They play good music and their food is fantastic! My favorite is the salmon burger with a side of mashed potatoes.
Very cute place and freeze squeezed orange juice was amazing. Got the eggs Benedict with salmon and the bread was a little tough but it was really good! If you go, you can't miss the cookies they have! They're in a little case by counter and they ended up being only a $1 each! So cheap and so good. Definitely will come back
A small, but cozy place in the west village, with both indoor and outdoor seating. My boyfriend and I both had the classic English breakfast for Sunday brunch, both food and coffee were very good. My boyfriend also ordered the bread pudding, which was delicious!
Tasty brunch and a very friendly proprietor. If I lived in the West Village, this would quickly become a regular spot.
A favorite little spot for fellow coworkers -- everyone is very friendly, more than happy to split the check between a million credit cards without any complaints, and the food is excellent. Go on the lighter side with omelets (check out the specials for the day) and soups/sandwiches or go hardcore with the Croque Madame or Croque Monsier for some ridiculous goodness. Has also restored my faith in tuna with their Tuna Melt.
Awesome little place with good, affordable breakfast and lunch options. And a nice outside terrace.
No wait when I stopped by with a friend for Sunday brunch. British brunch food, a bit limited if you don't eat pork, but still great choices! Not going to be my go-to in this area, but a solid fallback.
Perfect way to start my holiday weekend!
A relaxed & charming place to eat and not feel under pressure!
Enjoyed the granola w fresh fruit!
I'm not a big coffee drinker but I sure did enjoy 2 cups this morning!
Happy Stomach
Happy Me!
Tasty cheeseburger. Good fries. good service. You meet the nicest people there.
I have never been to England indulging in the best of its authentic cuisine, nor am I a hip artistic Brooklinite living in Dumbo or Park slope, so take my ordinary person review with a grain of salt.
I thought this place was charming, welcoming and had a very warm positive energy about it. The host / waiter was kind and made up feel welcome. The food was healthy and delicious - the omelettes were very tasty.
Wouldn't make a trek specifically for it, but overall if you are in the hood, highly recommend !
The spicy tuna fish is the best. On great bread. On a wooden slab. I can't stop going there to eat it.
This place is amazing!!! It has such a selection of amazing dishes and the food is superb. I had an omelette with tomatoes and smoked salmon. Potatoes and salad came with it. Everything tasted super fresh and tasty.
Everyone that works there is super friendly and attentive, but not bothering you. We had the pleasure to be served by a super nice man who turned out to be the owner of the place. They have a great wine selection too. I want to highly recommend this and I will definitely go there again.
Came here with a friend for a low key al fresco Sat night dinner around 7pm. We were sitting for a while and no one rushed us, which was nice but also felt service was slow. They were understaffed so I guess I get it.
We shared the mussels sav blanc side with "chips" or fries. The fries are good- thickly cut, well seasoned. The mussels were eh.. most of them were too tiny and barely sopped up the sauce. We also shared the fish and chips- this was excellent. Awesome "chips"still the fish was the star- very delicately battered and fried with flavor yet still light.
They brought out a side of restaurant slice bread with butter, which was ok but awkward after the meal.
I'd come back - they have interesting things on the menu like Bangers and Mash and other good Brit items.
Delicious food, relaxing setting and super welcoming and hospitable owner/manager. They have wifi too if you want to get work done!
This is a perfect spot for a bite of breakfast food at any time of a day. I got a smoked salmon omelette that was prepared exactly to the instruction around 3:30 pm on a Wednesday. Broccoli mashed potato is so yummy, mixed with the runny eggs. The meat balls have the most meat-to-crumb ratio; lean and flavorful. Will come back soon!
I sat on the patio and was greeted by the server, a kind British gent who happily explained the Yelp check-in deal. Get a free cup of coffee or tea with your check-in. I requested coffee and it was GOOD: strong and dark.
I had the smoked salmon omelette, which was cooked perfectly. I'm not the biggest fan of salad for breakfast, but that's just me. The mashed potatoes were leek and delicious, but I prefer potatoes I can put ketchup on in the mornings. Again, just a personal preference and I appreciate the authenticity of Oscar's.
The service was friendly and fast. The food was delicious. I would definitely return.
