Gluten-free friendly UWS standby delivering reliable brunch and comfort classics with attentive allergy care, solid service, and moderate prices; occasional service hiccups and portion/value gripes.
Friedman's delivers solid neighborhood dining with strong food quality anchored by standout brunch classics and exemplary gluten-free care. Attentive service and convenient Central Park proximity elevate the experience, but inconsistent execution during busy periods—occasional dry proteins and portion concerns—prevents a higher grade. Reliable for families and repeat brunchers seeking comfort food with genuine allergy protocols.
One caveat: Pricing is genuinely expensive ($25+ mains) which may surprise casual diners
