Even the grand staircase at its location in the Solow Building will spin your head at this highly rated French dining spot called Brasserie 8 1/2. Yet prices are affordable for this Midtown west locale just steps west of Fifth Avenue: prix-fixe lunches cost $29 and dinner, $42, making it a high-quality, sophisticated option. The Sunday feature is an all-you-can-eat Buffet Brunch albeit a refined one. Priced at $34, kids under 10, $16; add $17 for Endless Mimosas and you have enough. Beyond the endless array of omelettes, a crepe station, seafood bar with ceviche, a carving table, the buffet definitely speaks to diners with a French accent. Salads are crisp, fresh and inviting, but do save room for dessert, at last count a dozen pies, cakes, and cookies topped the tables.

EXPERT TIPS BY:

New York Local Expert
- Best for Buffet Because: The Patina Restaurant Group owns other NYC favorites in landmark locations: The Sea Grill, Rock Center Cafe, Naples 45, Brasserie 8 1/2 won't disappoint.
- Best for Brunch Because: Arrive at 11 AM for the top picks and a good table at the buffet brunch but do save room for dessert. Consider the crab and BYOB Sundays and Mondays.
