The orange pistachio pancakes are terrific, perhaps the best hot cakes in the city. The use of zoatar, a type of Mediterranean oregano pesto, in the eggs makes the frittatas and scrambles sumptuously savory.

A blixxl orange mimosa is delightful and cheap enough ($5) to get two, if need be. The wonderfully muted olive colors, burgundy bar, mustard yellow backgrounds and architectural metalwork glow in the sunshine warming the large restaurant. You’ll find it hard to believe it’s the same swanky, swooning place come nightfall.
