"We made the classic mistake of attending their first day of serving brunch. We were the first customers of the day arriving 15 minutes after opening but they were clearly not well prepared for us which is surprising considering Vicari 's reputation. We inquired about coffee and were told it was not available. Other customers who arrived later did get coffee. My partner ordered a belgium waffle with fruit compote warm maple syrup. The 2 waffles on her plate were not fullyformed as expected but had holes in the grid along one side. The compote turned out to be a couple of sliced fresh strawberries. I ordered the steak benedict and was told they did not have ingredients to prepare the hollandaise sauce soI ordered another menu item. The owner/chef arrived shortly afterward and said he could make the sauce so my order was changed back to original. The steak eggs were well cooked but the sauce tasted like a traditional brown gravy. Ichecked the menu and mushroom sauce was listed instead of hollandaise so that was my bad but I question the waiter 's knowledge for not pointing it out to me that it was not hollandaise, particularly after our previous discussion. I had thedistinct impression that I was eating an open faced roast beef sandwich with eggs on top. We ordered mimosas which were not on the menu but were surprised that they were $15 each when the bill arrived. My brunch partner drank two of them(groan). Bottom line for brunch was $95.48 (20% suggested tip included). The rooftop view is nice but its too bad that this time the food didn 't match up with the view. I do hope that this venture succeeds but they still have some work todo before they meet my expectations. By the way, I have eaten at the parent Vicari restaurant a number of times and have always been happy with the food, drink, and service there."
