Nancy KangSeptember 25, 2013My 1st dinner here & I'm thoroughly impressed! 2 thumbs up on quality, service AND presentation. The smoked rainbow trout w/ Swedish crab salad & quail egg is the way to go for appy (pictured).
Rory MinnisSeptember 6, 2013There is not a bad item on this menu, nor on the wine list, from what I've tasted so far. Go for the wagyu and blue crab surf and turf paired with a glass of the house white burgundy. Unbelievable.
The Wall Street JournalApril 4, 2012Standards like eggs Benedict get the Vareli treatment with slow-poached eggs, tomato confit and prosciutto. Owner Amitzur Mor also loves the steak and eggs. Read more
BaxterTheBossAugust 2, 2011John is the best bartender, He suggested I try my usuall dirty goose martini with Ciroc, very smooth and extremely delicious, also the burgers and grilled octopus is AMAZING!- Nancy KangSeptember 25, 2013Another pic of the smoked rainbow trout w/ Swedish crab salad & quail egg appy, following the impressive dry ice presentation.
Krissy GJuly 20, 2012The food and ambiance is absolutely wonderful! Zadie my waiter was also very friendly & attentive! :)
- Nancy KangSeptember 25, 2013The scallops (pictured) and tuna steak were both excellent entrees! Yummmm!
Anna TranNovember 11, 2012Grilled squid is amazing! First time I had squid that wasn't over cooked and rubbery. A must try!
Yohay ElamAugust 29, 2010This is a nice Tel-Aviv style Tapas bar near Colombia U. Food and service were good, and so was the design. If you're around, this would be a cozy option indeed.
sree sreenivasanMarch 11, 2012The roasted chicken and the pork chops are terrific. Our 8yos really, really really liked the fried cauliflower!
Danielle HMarch 31, 2010Great new addition to the UWS/Columbia area. Great food, wine selection, and service. I really enjoy the small plates and desserts. Bartenders aren't bad either!
Anne Mai BertelsenDecember 17, 2011Gotta love a place with a happy hour during the weekend. Roasted eggplant spread is delish!
CollegeCandyJanuary 20, 2012This upscale Mediterranean restaurant does great brunch and good dinner/drink specials.
Tom BurkaJuly 10, 2013New chef. Very overpriced. The lamb roulade, which on paper comes with green peppercorn sauce, was overlooked and lacking any flavor at all. My friend's fluke confit was reportedly better. $70/person.
Free baby pita lamb sliders for customers at the end of the night is the greatest thing in the world.
Laura MahalelApril 23, 2010Check out the specials. Dig the spreads: humus is fresh, the tzaziki is homemade too. YUM.
Emma ChownsJanuary 29, 2011Great octopus, boring dorade. And that coulis was so pretty too... Some bad wait service to sort out but the hostesses were lovely.
ask gimlet called andrej, stoly, lime, twist and fresh basil leaf.
Alexis CampJanuary 4, 2011Coin flip determines if you pay for lunch this month - my excellent burger was free!
Colleen HindsleyApril 9, 2011High hopes crushed by awful, rushed service. We were given the boot from our table after just one hour. And yes- we were eating and drinking.
