The Viand

I highly recommend this place. We went for brunch on Sunday. We were 3, and with no reservation, we waited 30 minutes. It really goes faster if you are. The portions are very large. Pancakes were tasty and one of the best breakfast sandwiches. Also, they have gluten-free pancakes and gluten-free buns or toasts.

Really good food in a quaint dinner with friendly service. Definitely recommend the dulce de leche French toast. My friend got the tiramisu pancakes and loved them.

Great experience. The atmosphere was welcoming and the staff was friendly and helpful if we needed something. The food was delicious, and the portions were great. I would definitely come back here again.

We are from Cali and was Our first time eating breakfast in the city and it was SO good. The staff was fast, friendly, and kept my coffee cup full! kids loved it, too. LARGE portions!! I ordered the avocado toast and could’ve shared! SO GOOD! don’t pass them up!!!!

The Modern is one of the best breakfast sandwiches I’ve had in years! They don’t skimp on the egg and jam, and the ciabatta bread feels freshly made. Very reasonably priced too! $20 per person for a sandwich and coffee

We stumbled into this restaurant and I am glad we did too. The food was HUGE and tasty. It all arrived quickly. The menu was huge with a variety of items to choose from
I loved my gyros!

Lesley the waitress might our experience so much better. The food was so good. And the Atmosphere was great.

Came here for a weekend brunch and it did NOT disappoint. Their benedicts are amazing. The eggs in purgatory was SO delicious I still think about it from time to time!! Service was great; we sat outside and it was honestly really lovely. If you're looking for a good breakfast spot that's casual yet classy, this is the one!!

The turkey dinner here is absolutely amazing. The stuffing is so flavourful and delicious, the dark meat turkey is moist and tender, and the gravy is great. The price is great considering the huge portion size also. There's usually not a wait for a table or a long wait for food, so that is nice also. I've found occasionally the food doesn't come out super hot, or the odd dry piece of turkey, but in general it is very good. I've been here many times. Their other food is great also!

Liked it a lot! Honestly, was a default decision because we were running late for a concert. Turned out to be a great decision.

We told hostess we were kind of in a hurry. No problem. Seated, immediately attended. Not attitude from anyone. It's a very comfy place. Liked the layout and the decor - contemporary but very comfy the way a diner should be.

Food was terrific (excellent burger), nice wine selection if you're into that, portions generous, service friendly and efficient. We liked it so much, we came back after the concert for desert.

We were quite impressed with the food and the service at the Viand diner. Last night we had the turkey meatloaf with green beans and a sweet potato. Everything was done to perfection and very tasty. Tonight we stopped in for dessert and tried their Russian coffee cake which was to die for! Plenty of nuts, butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon.The waiters we had were very attentive providing great service. I also had some mint tea and they served a high quality organic tea, Mighty Leaf. You don’t normally see that in restaurants. All in all, a very impressive performance at a reasonable price.

Oh man, sit back and let me tell you... We were trying to eat across the street, but they were serving some sort of off-script "dinner" menu that was not what we wanted.

The Viand was not even on our radar as a place to eat, but they were close... and serving pancakes and eggs at night, plus some sort of delicious "country" burger. They even had Lagunitas IPA on tap.

The whole family was pleased. I don't know what they ordered, because I ate everything in the last paragraph and I'm still full. Recommend.

We were just walking by and decided to stop for lunch. Pleasant surprise. Cheeseburger and sweet potato fries were really good.

Walked by this place and decided to try it out. I ordered off the daily specials dinner menu and got a filet with bearnaise sauce, asparagus, and scalloped potatoes. This was legitimately one of the best meals I've ever had. It was so delicious.

Great brunch spot. Was seated timely on a Saturday morning.
Excellent kids menu. Silver dollar pancakes were super cute
There is an additional charge for maple syrup btw
The service was excellent
Eggs Benedict with salmon was good
Chicken and waffles were good too
Good portions
Has orange juice and apple juice
Would recommend! Walking distance to the AMNH which is cool

Best brunch place I've had in NYC! I recommend you buy off the Brunch Specials menu and you get a free drink. The Southern Eggs Benedict (exquisite and luxurious gritz) and Dulce de Leche French Toast (they don't skimp - best for a sweet tooth) are my favorites dishes! The atmosphere is lively on any Saturday or Sunday.

First time here and really liked it. It was on a Sunday and they were busy. But you can tell they work hard to make sure people are being taken care of. Food was really good and great portions. Definitely we would go back.

Short Rib Gnocchi. Skip everything and go straight for the SRG. Absolutely a #WoWFactor times 100. Best Short Rib dish I've had...ever. My girlfriend's daughter recommended the place, as she lives around the block, and I was gonna go for the shrimp & scallops but when I asked the waitress which I should choose...she emphatically said, "Definitely the short ribs!".

Everything else was on point... especially the service. Will be back.

Diner food shouldn't be expensive, but then this is New York City. This place is actually very reasonably priced for the portion size and quality. I came here twice and the food is consistent. The atmosphere is also much nicer than most diners. It is very cozy and friendly- a nice place to come with friends. It is my go-to in the UWS for a diner food fix. Tip: their homemade jams are excellent and they come with toast with any egg dish.

One of me and my boyfriend’s favorite places to order from but finally decided to dine in and it was an absolute treat. Food and drinks were delicious.
