What comes to mind when you hear the name Fred? A dog. Naturally. (Didn't the little Obama girls want to name their pup that before the First Lady vetoed?)
With plentiful pictures of the owners' blag lab, the woodsy decor of the Upper West Side restaurant is perfect -- a perfect weekend closer, that is.
The free basket of fresh blueberry or chocolate chip muffins and strawberry butter is a great start to the brunch salads, omelets and entrees to come at this laid-back rest spot. I haven't been during the week, but it can't veer too far from the cute gimmicks like the weekend staples.
Pros: Strawberry Butter, Fresh Muffins to Start
Cons: Crowded sometimes, Weird decor if you don't like dogs
