The bathroom is very modern - definitely check it out. down in the cellar
Annie MeredithApril 24, 2010
Come here for brunch and get the bottomless mimosa or bloody mary. They pour nice big glasses.
StefanFebruary 25, 2012
If you want a brunch that feels like a club/party, Il Bastardo is your place
Taylor WaltmonSeptember 28, 2013
The mimosas are agressively large and im not mad at all
✨Pun Bandhu ✨October 6, 2012
Great cocktails, come for happy hour but WARNING; only get 2 for 1 if you sit at bar (stupid policy). Food is just OK, not bad but not special
FabioAugust 21, 2013
Pretty good brunch. Like bkfst in grandmas home at Scalea.
Kristin MasonSeptember 6, 2011
The lunch prix fixe is well worth a try.

Oddly peculiar spot. Take a look around when drinking a large martini...

$3 happy hour beers!
Kimberly DSeptember 23, 2012
Horrible service - the place is empty for a reason at dinner time!! Food (when it actually arrives) is average at best. There are too many decent places in the 'hood to take the bastard's crap.

Your day is not going to end well

They stopped serving bread at brunch - boooo!!!
Radhika LakshmananMarch 23, 2012
Sadly you are limited to only two pieces of bread, even if you request more. Also, you might want to bring your own water.
iSis SmithDecember 30, 2010
Good food and service, but 12$ for a plain wine? Damn!
PeterJune 4, 2010
Rolled chicken is tasty. Reasonable wine list as well
Andrea MorenoJune 23, 2014
Dinner with the girls 😊
Emma SallyJuly 28, 2011
Absolutely horrid service... Left a bad taste in our mouths, which unfortunately made the dining experience bland and forgettable. The only thing I would recommend is the sangria, but still pricey!!!
Kent GouldMay 31, 2012
Aptly named. We saw an actual rat scurrying around
Elizabeth GMarch 19, 2010
Get the stuffed mushroom cap appetizer. Delicious.

Don't eat in the back room unless you want to feel like you are at a bar mitzvah. Good food but questionable service .,.how can a restaurant run out of forks and menus?
gina fuchsJuly 10, 2011
The bathroom is so awesome
Mylik GaneySeptember 11, 2011
Unlimited mimosas from 12-4
Felipe PalhaSeptember 25, 2011
Don't order the Ravioli alla vodka. It's so small it should be an appetizer. Or order 3 or 4 of them. That's how small it is.Also, bad service.
benjamin bannisterJanuary 31, 2011
$15 unlimited brunch drinks.
Adam SchwartzMarch 7, 2010

Tara BerkoskiJanuary 16, 2010
Order the Pasta Puttanesca minus the anchovies.
Feather LRJune 25, 2011

Nice big martini glasses
Jacin LeeDecember 4, 2011
DON'T come here. They forgot our bread. The salad had WAAY too much balsamico. And the pesto pasta was thick and bland.
DeannaJanuary 12, 2013
Made a reservation for 2pm and didn't get seated until 3pm. Worst service and not accommodating.
Sam WinnickMay 6, 2015
