One of my favorite restaurants on the UES by far! The mac & cheese can be made gluten free and it's AMAZING. We also loved their roasted artichoke salad, paella, tuna tartare, and hamburger! The cozy atmosphere here is unmatched and this place is truly a hidden gem. Highly recommend making a reservation because it's definitely a popular spot

We were quoted 20 minutes for a table however ended up waiting over 50 minutes, watching multiple groups walk in and take priority because they were larger. Whether this is for cashflow - I’m not sure, but I would favour people who have been waiting the longest rather than seating larger groups instantly as they walk in. (And no they did not have a reservation). The lady at the counter was rude about the delays and kept telling us it would be another 10 minutes. She should have quoted us an hour if all the two person tables were unavailable for this long. She screamed at us saying ‘I just work here’ instead of providing a solution. I went to order the breakfast sandwich on gluten free, (the menu says GFA) - to the server telling me it’s not good with gluten free. So that lead me to be confused as to why they would offer it that way. Honestly the place was such a shit show. As a New Yorker I would never return. Food was average too.

I had an incredible lunch at Fresh&Co on Lexington and 85th! I ordered the Chicken Shawarma (gluten-free) bowl with organic quinoa, avocado, feta, raw mushrooms, and a light balsamic vinaigrette also was added tomato salad, pickles, baba ghanousn, hummus, greek yogurt, blackened chicken —everything was super fresh and full of flavor. The chicken was perfectly seasoned and juicy, and the toppings were generous and well-balanced. The portion size was great for the price, especially with the $3 off deal. The staff was also really kind and efficient, and the place had a nice, relaxed vibe—perfect for a quick but healthy meal. Highly recommend this spot if you’re looking for something fresh, filling, and tasty. I’ll definitely be coming back!
