    If you are visiting New York and you're in Soho searching for an exceptional brunch experience, look no further than Jack's Wife Freda. This American-Mediterranean bistro truly stands out as one of the best brunch spots in the area, offering a delightful fusion of flavors. I highly recommend trying their rosewater waffles, which are simply divine, as well as the grilled halloumi and the Mediterranean breakfast—each dish is a testament to their commitment to quality and creativity. Their cappuccinos and lattes are equally delicious, perfectly complementing the vibrant atmosphere of the restaurant. The lively ambiance, combined with the friendly and attentive staff, makes for a welcoming dining experience. It's also a fantastic place for medium to large groups, ensuring that everyone can enjoy a memorable meal together. With its excellent location and fun vibe, Jack's Wife Freda is a must-visit for anyone looking to indulge in a delicious brunch while in Soho. Don't miss out on this gem!

    Food wasn’t bad but I don’t think I’d come back. The best dish I’ve had is the duck bacon sandwich, which has this amazing tomato jam on it. The fries are really good, hot and fresh and crispy, hitting all the marks. The latte was also good, but nothing exceptional. The waffle was overhyped in my opinion. The rosewater flavor is all in the syrup, and was barely there too. The waffle was bland, though I did like the yogurt instead of cream, but wasn’t very unique beyond that. Cafe is very loud and quite packed, but nice decor, with excellent, attentive service. The food portions are the main problem, with everything being pretty small for the price you’re paying. The poached eggs dish was especially tiny and not worth $19 at all. Really not worth going out of your way to come here.

    We went for Brunch on Sunday, I had the special which was an asparagus omelette and it was so delicious. I usually never eat a whole omelette but I did this time! The potatoes were so yummy and I loved that it came with small salad. 🥗 I can’t wait to go back.

    The location is very nice, the employees are very attentive. It is very enjoyable to look around when you sit down. Other than that, the food is good (I tried the salad and schnitzel before). I especially recommend the schnitzel, the portions are big. Apart from brunch and dinner, I think you can come here to have a cocktail after shopping. 9/10
