    Nice atmosphere and creative menu with good quality ingredients. Enjoyed the food. Service was very uneven. Slow and food came out at random intervals. Had to wait a long time for drinks and certain items. Worth trying for lunch.

    I have been here several times and the food, service, atmosphere and overall experience is consistently awesome. The prices are actually reasonable for NYC which makes it even better. I will continue to come back during the week and on the weekends when there is a nice party vibe later in the night.

    We came here for a date before going to the NY comedy club for a show. The hostess was very warm and welcoming, the waitress we had was super bubbly and nice. She came to the table often checking if we had water and if we needed anything. At the end she even offered us desert on the house which was amazing and delicious. I had the smoked burger which tasted amazing and my wife had the brick chicken which was so soft and juicy. Overall great experience, lovely staff, tasty food.
