Compass: Lost its Way?

Looking for something new on the Upper West Side, we wound up at Compass for brunch. The restaurant is located between Broadway and West End on 70th Street. It is, to be honest, unclear how new it is, however, as we had never been there it satisfied our need of the moment.

Unfortunately, it wasn't particularly good for brunch. Though it gets points for creative incorporation of chestnuts into the menu, as part of a forest mushroom omelet, the kitchen was slow even with the room half empty.

Worse, the bright little front room was closed, relegating us and our fellow diners to the cave-like interior, with not a bit of natural light. This may work for dinner, but for brunch it is a definite non-starter.

In the future, we'll join the many others who stayed away from this restaurant for brunch.
