Eatery is a restaurant featuring American Comfort food that
is located in West Midtown at 9th and 53rd street. I have
often walked by it while I was visiting New York City, but I finally had lunch
there and am delighted that I did!
The ATMOSPHERE… simple décor, plenty of tables, outdoor
seating available for nice weather
The SERVICE… Our server Casey could not have been better!
Polite, courteous and helpful.
The FOOD… Soups, Salads, Sandwiches and Entrees, Full Bar
We were greeted and seated and then they brought out their
“Chips” which were made with Puffed Rice, Black Sesame Seeds and a little
Sugar. They had an interesting taste and texture that was really addicting and
different.
After looking at the menu and seeing several things that
looked good (including the prices) I was still having trouble making up my
mind. Our server Casey directed me in the way of the Ricotta Meatloaf saying
that, “I couldn’t go wrong with that choice.” He was right! The Ricotta gave
the Meatloaf a light texture, but it also had a heavy flavor, which is exactly
how I think Meatloaf should be! It was served on top of Red Bliss Mashed
Potatoes, with Pecorino Sauce, Over Dried Grape Tomatoes and Balsamic Reduction
($12.95).
I ate every bite!
My Mom just wanted some vegetables so she had a side order
of Asparagus that she thought was fresh, tender and cooked to perfection, as
well as an order of their Red Bliss Mashed Potatoes.
My Dad had the Chipotle BBQ Pulled Pork Sandwich (with
Cheddar Cheese, Apple and Pear Slaw on a Brioche Bun with Sweet Potato Fries).
This was one of the featured “lunch specials” so for $10.95 it also included a
beverage. I ended up eating about half of his sandwich because it was so good
as well as too much for him to finish.
All in all we really enjoyed Eatery. It was such a nice
combination of Atmosphere, Service and Food (the key to a great restaurant) and
when the total bill (including tip) for three people is less then $45 it is
also a great deal!
