It's on 3 of my lists. Each entry below is what I wrote about it there, with my verdict on that list, the fullest first.

Paying homage to traditional Jewish delis, Sadelle’s upscale twist makes it a popular spot for stylish New Yorkers. Comforting Jewish fare takes center stage, but the restaurant’s pièce de résistance is the signature Sadelle’s Tower.
Presented with a three-tiered stand, buttery slices of smoked salmon take the top tier, while prime fixing and still-hot bagels duke it out below. Sure, there are other things on the menu, like seared veal dumplings and airy omelettes, but they’re all supporting actors.
For those craving an step up SoHo brunch experience, Sadelle’s should fit the bill.
463 West Broadway, SoHo. If you want the most photogenic brunch in Manhattan, this is it. The smoked fish tower ($65 for two people) is a sculptural stack of salmon, sturgeon, whitefish, and all the accoutrements, and it’s designed to make you gasp when it arrives. It’s also delicious. The sticky buns ($14) are warm and gooey and gone in four minutes.
It’s expensive (brunch for two is $80-120 easily), but the quality is there. My husband and I come here when we want to celebrate something. Or when I want really excellent smoked salmon and don’t feel like going to Russ and Daughters.
Sadelle’s is the kind of restaurant you see in a movie and say “I want to go there.” Think of it as an extremely fancy bagel shop, with bi-level seating, mimosas and a wide array of fresh fish. The house salmon is some of the best in the city and dishes like eggs benedict and french toast have made the SoHo restaurant a star attraction for weekend brunchers.
