Brasserie Cognac Midtown East

“Bitter experience. Came here for the $25 weekend brunch pre fixe. Comes with a choice of coffee, juice or tea, pastry or fruit cup, one main dish. Pastry and fruit cup were par but coffee was bitter with no aroma. The main dish was very disappointing- as you can see from the picture the side potatoes and greens looked like it was non existent. Very sad presentation. Very hard to cut through the English muffin (needed a steak knife!) and the eggs were hard boiled at best... on top of that they added automatic 20% gratuity when we were jut a party of 2. Won't be coming back”

“I've honestly never had chicken and waffles this bad. They served a chicken thigh and drumstick on top of the waffle, and the chicken was extremely dry, and had an unpleasant smell. I was genuinely surprised at how poorly it was prepared, especially for a place at this price point. I'd passed by this restaurant many times and always thought it looked vibey and promising, but unfortunately this was a big disappointment and will be my first and last visit. The salmon eggs Benedict was also underwhelming.”

“Went for a quick breakfast and enjoyed it. The bagel and lox were great and my friend got the omelette which was good as well. Atmosphere is as expected. $50ish for 2 people (no drinks).”
