Amazing food. Amazing artwork. Love this place and will come again. Such eye candy with artwork there I know I missed some things as well but I do want to try all the other meals there that they offer. SUCH a sweet spot. Highly recommend.

Sunday to Sunday was just great. I arrived early for a 12:30 reservation on a very rainy day, and though the restaurant was packed at the time, my table was waiting for me and it was great to be able to wait inside until my Great Niece arrived. Cat, our server was awesome as were all the other servers and the hostess was very sweet and helpful too. Delicious food, great drinks and reasonable prices. We were very happy.

For an authentic New York experience! Go here! Sat at the bar where “regulars” recommended dishes; happy hour drinks were excellent and the seafood outstanding. The Dorade was exceptional and the Friday special of fish and chips shone with its aiolis and tartar sauce.
