    From the moment you walk in the door you know you have entered into some place special. Excellent cuisine, delectable cocktails and the nicest staff ever. The kale zinger is definitely a must have!

    This place is underrated. The kale cupcakes (eggs baked in kale in muffin tins) are my go-to for brunch. Go easy on the spicy sauce, which is great but will pack a wallop. Great, green cocktails too!

    The (red?) devil drink is great if you want tequila. The fish, the burger and fries, get their gorgonzola dip and in house HOT sauce. Sit at the bar, everyone's awesome.

    I am pescetarian who eats fish every day. The branzino here was superb in every way, and the salmon excellent. Nice buzz, too, with good W African music mostly playing.

    Spicy Poulet sandwich on ciabatta and Thiebou Jen, stewed fish & vegetables over rice. The national dish of Senegal. Great African music too.

    Fries are fabulous, as is the vegetable sandwich. Salmon omelette is good but on the salty side. Staff is friendly. I love the big beautiful windows but the place can get chilly too.

    a French-Senegalese bistro on Bedford Avenue; house-made bread and Senegalese-style rice-paper spring rolls; warm, comfortably weathered space

    The Kale Hemingway is green juice like you've never had before. Refreshing deliciousness with a kick of rum

    The Nameless cocktail : vodka, cucumber, cilantro & simple syrup. Ask for half the amount of simple & it's still very good.

    The Senegalese tea is some intense stuff. Tastes like wheatgrass shot. Also their huevos rancheros is definitely just chilaquiles

    Thiebou Jen, Gambas a la Plancha and on a hot summer day a cucumber lemonade with vodka will do.

    Happy hour is only for bar seats now, which is a bit of a bummer considering how nice it is to sit outside here
