This was our second time here and the food, ambiance and drinks were good. The one drawback is the rush to take your orders and get you in and out. Mind you, the place was half empty so not sure what the rush was. Half our party of five received our food while the others had to wait 10 minutes to receive theirs (I actually timed it because of comments previously posted by others). That’s unacceptable. Although our server was very nice and attentive, not once did the server apologize or offer a reason for the delay in getting the food out to our party. I blame that on management not properly overseeing and coaching staff on managing such situations…

Me and my boyfriend are visiting from California and we had a long day in NYC and we were just looking for somewhere with good and good drinks for date night with just the two of us and we find this cute little spot. Everything was amazing.

The food taste wonderful and the ambiance was nice but we unfortunately received one of our orders with hair in it and the service offered when that happened wasn’t the best.

Really good food! The cocktails also tasted great, but they gave us a headache about 20-25 mins after, not fun for someone trying to enjoy their day after brunch! In terms of pricing, they are similarly priced to other spots in the area—but one suggestion would be to update their menu online, brunch prices were misleading and were about $6-$7 more per item than advertised on their website. However, I would return (sans cocktail, or with a liquor upgrade) just for the yummy food!

Gorgeous restaurant! The oysters had too many shell pieces, and the tacos were just okay. I would definitely go back for happy hour, but I doubt I would go for dinner.

Place prioritized group that were white and other “bigger” groups as well even though we were 8 people. Waiter was kinda rude about the wait time for the food. Food took 45minutes-1hr to make which I guess it’s fine. Random man or maybe even the owner himself kept taking pictures of everyone to post on social media… we had empty cups of drinks during a brunch and still wanted us to take pictures like that…. You would’ve also thought waiters would come around and ask if we needed anything but no. We would have to ask for napkins… water…. Etc
