Slightly Oliver

Upper West Side has its share of brunch spots, but few manage to balance casual and cozy quite like Slightly Oliver. The place sits on Amsterdam Avenue, where weekend crowds and midweek regulars seem to overlap without fuss.

Across the menu, comfort food takes center stage—nothing fussy, just straightforward plates that pair well with the onsite bar’s cocktails and wine. Brunch and dinner are both served, so whether it’s a late-morning mimosa or an evening glass of red, the timing stays flexible.

By the time the sun dips behind the pre-war facades, the stretch of 511 Amsterdam Ave New York, NY 10024 feels a little quieter. That’s when the bar often fills in, offering a low-key alternative to the louder spots a few blocks east.

For a table or a stool, a quick call to (212) 362-1098 usually sorts things out. When you’re ready to head over, the map can be found here.
