    The Avocado & Crab Toast! Every bite I take I try to figure out how I can make it myself but I know it won't even compare. Ordered 2nds on this one 👌

    No tipping but cocktails are $18!!! Skip the chicken sandwich in favor of the firecracker chicken strips

    The booze-free mocktails can easily become boozeful cocktails if you ask.

    Shockingly expensive with $20 cocktails but good for large groups if you’re looking for something in the area (10-15 minute walk to MSG).

    Too busy for happy hour. Great cocktails that are too good if you're just trying to grab a quick drink.

    I thought the food was overpriced, but the cocktails, the atmosphere, and the service will have me coming back!

    Drinks are decent but a little touristy. If for some reason you find yourself over here, a fine option, but don't go out of your way.

    Don't get the hot buttered rum. Perhaps the only cocktail in my life I chose not to finish out of disgust.
