The menu had me somewhat concerned, but this place was a pleasant surprise. Great cocktails, wine and beer, and the food was very vibrant and flavorful. Nice decor, friendly staff and manhattan view

The Kale salad with candied walnuts and dried cherries and Caesar dressing infused with lemon zest and garlic, so good. Having Maria as your server, the BEST!!!

Oysters were super fresh and their burrata with pumpkin was delicious. Also, service was friendly and while slow at times, was actually perfect for a nice, intimate Friday night dinner.

Brunch Benedicts are always good. Try the lobster one. For dinner, the beet salad is flavorful #. Pan-seared duck breast is a local favorite.

The chocolate ganache with pomegranate and roasted walnuts is such a great pairing. Not too rich and just the perfect portion for one.

Brunch? Get an order of the pancakes. I don't really like pancakes but these slices of heaven are not your average pancakes. I got the banana & choc. So good. You can thank me later. You're welcome!

The food is great, but the table service is AWFUL. If you go, sit at the bar. The full menu is available, and the bar staff is friendlier/more attentive.
