“Boy was Sonny right…great experience at this “sunny” hot spot on the Lower East Side. We came from work for the happy hour, and stayed for the vibes. Lovely atmosphere, Australian American hospitality, tasty and shareable noshes. We had drinks, apps and entrees. Must try the Golden Mash, it’s a 10/10! Also enjoyed the Hugo Spritz. Well def be back! Wednesday happy hour you get free cocktail with chicken parm! ✨”
“Cozy Australian brunch and wine bar. The burrata and fig sourdough toast is def worth it - chewy and light with a crispy crust. The hotcake is a little bland on its own; I asked for the maple syrup on the side. The harissa eggs were good but on the thinner and slightly oily side. The flat white is strong and smooth. The seatings are very close together and the service is average.”
“First of all, the pancake is great. And it’s randomly gluten free!!! Such a win. It had lots of syrup, delicious berries on top. A little chewy and very soft. It’s great. However… a) it was so so cold inside!! The cold from outside just leaked through the walls and I was freezing. b) we had an 11:30am reservation and weren’t seated until 12:15pm.”
“We reached Sonnyboy an hour before our reservation, it was packed, in what was the coldest snowiest day in the city! But there wasn't a table available. We came back an hour later and were seated in 10 mins. The only reason to not give them 5 stars is it was super chilly inside. In freezing cold weather, you expect it to be warm inside. It wasn't just us, everyone was wearing their jackets, coats & beanies. The restaurant is super tiny with an open kitchen & cafe. Food - We got machiato & capuccino. It was special. Burrata Fig toast - sounds pretty simple, was delicious. I would get an add on since this isn't enough for breakfast/brunch. Ricotta hot cake - this was simply delicious, the cake was soft, well cooked, topped with mixed berry compote which was cold and a soft buttery cream and a syrup. It worked very well all together, wasn't too sweet and filling for one serving. I would come back here but maybe during the summer!”
“All around good and acceptable. Big disappointment in the wait. We had an 11:30 reservation for 6 people and were seated at 12:10. Food was pretty good. Service was alright. The whipped ricotta hotcakes were stunning! I liked the breakfast burrito a lot. Overall, delicious. Inside it was extremely cold!!”
