Personally I've never been to Bar Americain for brunch, and doubt I ever will after your feedback. My favorite brunch spot in Manhattan is at 7A, on 7th Street and Ave. A. Kind of an eclectic crowd, but the food is great and of amazing value. Hi Doc Voskuil,

Voskuil Mon, 31 Aug 2009 17:50:18 +0000 http://www.eatbigapple.com/english/?p=313#comment-3406 I met friends at Bar Americain yesterday for brunch. It was our first (and will be my only) time there. The server was pleasant and really encouraged my choice of brunch entrees. When the omelette I ordered arrived, however, it was the most bland and tasteless thing I had eaten in months! I waited for her to return so I could advise her that something had obviously been left out, but she never again came back while we sat there for almost an hour! Even when she brought the check, she never said 'how was the meal' (althought mine remained almost 90% untouched) - so I simply paid and left with the intention never to return. The only staff we saw between ordering and paying was the person who refilled the water and the always lukewarm coffee A real disappointment. When one orders an egg dish - in which the ingredients cost almost nothing, one expects their $17 will pay for some artistic and tasty treatment of the basics. Not so in this case. (by the way - no accomodation is made on their website for feedback - which I why I am writing this here) I met friends at Bar Americain yesterday for brunch.
