    Great deal for a tasting menu. Don't come here if you plan to keep kosher though.

    Top to bottom one of the strongest menus in the city. Great bartenders, too. If I had to pick one dish, I'd have to go with the broccoli rabe.

    The Thai shrimp with fruit is unbelievable. Sit on the patio and soak in the strange convos from your biracial neighbors.

    Baby back ribs were a little underwhelming. Chicken wings were better. Also bacon donuts.

    for a tasting menu they didn’t wait for us to finish - bad pacing, drinks were skimped, and food was fine but for that price it didn’t seem worth it. Server couldn’t care less
