"This is as old school as it gets here in NYC. Since the late 1800's, Jahns has been serving the community and stepping in here, its amazing to be apart of that history. I sat down imagining the many people from the past decades and century who have come through this establishment. And the ambiance just brings you back in time. The service here is amazing. The waiters are on their A-Game, tentative, thoughtful, always making sure you're accommodated. I had the breakfast here and haven't had a chance to try out the ice cream so I'll comment on the breakfast. The breakfast is your standard, basic diner fare done very well. No complaints from me. Bacon, eggs, pancakes, home fries, omelette, sausage. Stuff you can't go wrong with and they don't get it wrong here. It's basic and I mean that in a very good way. It's exactly what I was seeking and exactly what I got. The manager was super friendly, filled my cup up with extra coffee and went around making sure everything was okay. I wish I got his name. Verdict: If you're in Queens, looking for some old school classic dining experience, with the ambiance and history of that to boot, look no further. Jahns is certainly worth your visit! Pros: -Great ambiance -Great Service -Good pricing -Great history and classic diner ambiance -Basic diner food done very well Cons: -Not really a con but if you're looking for something more out-the-box or extraordinary this won't be the place."

"The highlight of my recent late breakfast at The Madison was the attentiveness of the staff and the buttermilk pancakes. There's not too much that varies from one scrambled egg to another, so breakfast in Manhattan often must be measured on other factors. The servings are average, and the prices typical of the UES and location. The buttermilk pancakes were fluffier than most I've seen ANYWHERE in the past year and they were easily the size of my face. With whipped butter and a cup of pancake syrup, the three delightful discs were enough for breakfast and lunch together and it was fortunate that I had a pancake to share. Across the table, a plate of blueberry blintzes disappointingly lacked the same quality and flavor. I sampled one of the tiny rolls and was surprised that the same chef could have sent out both breakfasts. I'm used to blintzes (perhaps it's a Montreal thing) that begin with a fresh eggy pan-sized crepe stuffed and folded with fresh blue berries. The key to a great blintz, however, is the finishing saute in hot butter that gives the stuffed crepe a rich warm coating and brings the juice from the berries. Next time I visit The Madison, I'll know to get the buttermilk cakes, but add the blueberries to the pancake and skip the blintz. What I'll really go back for, though, is the friendly attentiveness of the staff...a smile here, a greeting there, and a reheat on the coffee go a long way in a city where cold isn't just the winter weather. Thank you, friends, for making breakfast a welcoming meal!"
