Tuna Sushi Spring Roll. The wasabi bbq, might just be one of the best sauces ever made!
Luis ZambranoMarch 30, 2013
Bring cash!!
Dee PhunkJuly 2, 2010
Do yourself a huge favor. Just wait until Sundown Brunch (4pm-8pm) instead of trying to squeeze in there early. Same exact specials, a calmer wait staff and alot less noisy.
Jeremy GoldmanJuly 17, 2011
Total scene kind of place. Good food but they get your order wrong surprisingly often.
Jenna LynnFebruary 20, 2011
This place does not accept any cards - cash only but there is no signage anywhere. Be sure to bring cash!

If you camp long enough at your table for brunch, they give you drink tickets to leave! Yay!

Went for a friends birthday. Bottomless brunch = below average food. Not a surprise. But trendy and loud.

Nothing to write home about. The service was not up to par at all. Too dark to see the menu and way too loud for a romantic evening. Good for bar Scene

Do not eat the oysters. They were warm and my boyfriend got sick.
TonyJune 13, 2012
This place is one of those NYC places everyone loves but I don't understand why. The food is overpriced ($13 for grapes and cheese) and not that great. Avoid.

Good food, pricey. Entrance is on Rivington. Too loud and clubby to be conducive to serious conversation.
