Nectar

We stopped by for a quick fill, and it turned out to be a really pleasant experience. I didn’t get a photo of the vegetable soup, but I truly loved it—it was comforting and flavorful. The place is cozy, and what really stood out to us was how hands-on and welcoming the manager/owner was. It made the whole experience feel more personal. We really enjoyed our time here and would gladly come back.

Had a lovely lunch here! Was quite expensive for what it was, but was super enjoyable and the service was excellent. Also very near to the MET so we were able to go quickly after our visit there.

We were at The Met Museum and wanted to have a nice lunch since they are renovating the cafeteria type restaurant. We were told to check out Nectar and were warned it was overpriced. They were right! I know it’s upper east side on Madison Ave but please! Our server was friendly but the food was average. A veggie burger didn’t come with anything on the side except a weird tasting pickle and some slaw, and was $15. The filling of the spanicopita (Spinach Pie) was delicious but the flakey Filo crust tasted off and was a bit over baked. Hers was $34!! Fool me once, shame on you. I wont be going back.

My boyfriend and I always walk by this place and wanted a cozy diner vibe this morning so we came in. This was the best nyc diner experience I’ve had, the food and service and lattes were all wonderful! Will definitely be coming back in.

I don’t know why this place has a 3.5 rating, this is my fave diner in NYC. Seems like most of the bad reviews are about food being overpriced. Sure, a brekky might be ~$30 w/ tip but I’m not sure what people are expecting. It’s the Upper East Side a few blocks from the Met… of course it’s going to be pricier than your average joint in Arkansas. Regarding the quality of the food… If you’re looking for the next viral Gen Z TikTok-able cutting edge brunch spot, don’t come here. But if you’re in the mood for a good ol fashioned American breakfast, this is a great place. Insanely good sausages and hash potatoes + French toast. Nonstop refills of normal coffee. All the servers and waiters etc are super nice. Highly recommend!!
