Those 3 letters sum it up best! Prune was so worth the trip across town from our 11th ave. hotel on Sunday morning for brunch. The line forms outside and they don't open until 10, so I recommned getting there by about 9:45 to get a first seating (especially if you're starving, like we were). The service is prompt and... more

I had been looking forward to dining here for months prior to actually eating here, and I was extremely disappointed, not so much by the food, but by the ambiance and service. The dinner prices are reasonable (think $24 entrees and $8 appetizers) and the food is tasty (though not out of this world by any means) but the restaurant... more

We searched for this place high and low and came in for the famous and well renowned roasted bone marrow. Was it worth the trip from Australia, oh yes. A death row meal if I ever had one. A real neighbourhood feel and customer friendly staff and a team of chefs preparing real foodie food. This chef apparently beat Bobby... more

We recently had Sunday brunch at Prune during a weekend break in NYC, following a recommendation from friends. We arrived as the restaurant was opening at 10am to find a queue already formed outside. We got the impression this was mainly local people who come here regularly and know thr drill. We filed into the small restaurant as the doors... more

We happened on Prune during lunchtime on the 4th of July weekend. It was insanely busy. Our very friendly wait staff explained holidays are very busy. But, the food and was well worth the wait and crowd. I had the white fish in saffron broth with leeks and potatoes. My husband had the tuna on toast with aioli, bacon, and... more

We sat at the bar in this tiny place and thoroughly enjoyed the company of the delightful bartender and our interesting drinks then I ordered the best meal I had in a 5 day NYC trip - Roasted bone marrow with parsley salad. I must say I was impressed with the pairing of the parsley salad - not something I... more
