These ratings are all for dinner so who knows....but Zagats says they
have brunch.

If Dan's been to Les Halles, which is not in Zagats, that might be the
best choice. However, everyone's taste is different. I haven't had
brunch in any of them. I recently went to a wedding at the Essex
House (Central Park South) where Cafe Botanica is, and it was
exquisite.
