Gabriel HayesAugust 12, 2014Belly doughnuts are phenomenal. Really enjoyed the flatbread, rabbit pappardelle and the crispy lamb shank. The young buck (white rum, apricot, lime and ginger beer ) is a great drink.
EvieApril 16, 2014Start with the Pork Belly Donut and end with the Rhubarb Buckle. The Buttermilk Cavatelli is delicious as well. Definitely my new favorite restaurant. Pay with Cover.
Victor DrabickyAugust 8, 2014So friendly and so good. Get the milk stout cocktail. Not at all what you picture it to be but it's amazing. All the food is spectacular as well
CoverJanuary 7, 2014Great new addition to the east vill! The perfect meal: artichoke dip, cauliflower soup, and fried chicken (boneless, dark meat!). Pay with Cover and skip waiting for the check!
Ryan ZolaApril 16, 2014house-made roll, dust it with everything bagel seasoning, juicy patty made of brisket & chuck (that's been soaked in V8) all before topping it off with caramelized red onion/wine mayo
Serious EatsMarch 27, 2014Super-meaty options at brunch like cumin- and coriander-seasoned lamb shank hash topped with yogurt sauce and fried eggs.
Connie ChiuAugust 23, 2014Pork belly donut is amazing. I forgot what else we ordered but we walked out happy with everything.
Lori LuoAugust 10, 2014A bright, spacious dining room makes for a perfect brunch spot. The burger is cooked to a tee, although the Eggs Benedict were over-salted.
Natalie Rodic MarsanApril 30, 2014Most underrated foodie spot in the east village and good service to top it off?!Charred broccoli with hollandaise sauce. Simple perfection.
Phil TorontoJanuary 7, 2014The Brussels sprouts are a tasty side! The hazelnuts and Chinese sausage are good complements to the sprouts
Erika PontesSeptember 26, 2014Everything... The menu is seasonal and constantly changing so go with a group so you can order a little of everything- Phil TorontoJanuary 7, 2014I liked the Arctic Char a lot. The shishito broth has a tiny kick. Eat this dish with your spoon.
JanelleOctober 6, 2014Love the brunch! Stop by during the weekend on a clear and beautiful day for the perfect lazy, delicious day
Vanessa DiamatarisApril 16, 2014Great staff, even better belly doughnut! Gin, cucumber and yogurt cocktail is also on point
Get the pork belly donut and whatever the seasonal milk punch is! Add the broccoli so you have some greens. Awesome!
ChrisJanuary 9, 2014Substitute the cocconut/lime/chipotle sweet potatoes with the roasted chicken. Delicious. Don't forget to pay with Cover!
Pramod PaiMay 8, 2015The place offers sumptuous seasonal delicacies fit for a King (but at price affordable for most of us peasants). Read more- Phil TorontoJanuary 7, 2014The string bean salad is crisp and refreshing. Good flavor, but I wouldn't go out of my way to order it
Sakura YagiSeptember 6, 2014The burger always hits the spot. Uber crispy fries with a side of ketchup AND Mayo=brownie points.
Honghui YuJanuary 26, 2015Good for brunch - they always have one entrée that comes with a mimosa or bloody Mary. Portions are small though.
Christian WhitehouseApril 4, 2014Definitelly reccomend the Belly Dougnut. Super tasty. Don't forget to pay with Cover!
CrystalOctober 16, 2014Seasonal milk punch!! Fall brings a whiskey, apple brandy, pumpkin situation that is killer!
Venkatesh KondamSettyMay 5, 2015
Leah HammerschlagJuly 7, 2014Their biscuits are seriously INSANE. Those and the fries blew me away.. Wasn't that impressed with the burger, try Swine's or Mile End's brisket burgs instead.
