My fiancé and I went to nyc for her birthday and this was a new place we wanted to try. As soon as we walked in our eyes were so amazed on how beautiful it was. We did brunch, and I got the chicken panini which was fantastic. She got the potato omelet which was so fluffy and filling, the only thing it needed was some meat of some sort. The fries were those good fries that are super crispy. Mimosas were excellent as well. Overall great place and would definitely visit again!

Too noisy, the bottomless was mainly orange juice and not alcohol, and the food was average.

The service was really good, I didn’t catch our server’s name, but she was really sweet! Menu setup is also really convenient. I really enjoyed the brussel sprouts and the pear and gorgonzola ravioli. It seems like a good place for a big group too.

They tried pushing our reservation back super late. Charged us for an extra person. We were promised free extra apps and desserts then got charged for both in addition to being charged for an extra person.

A great place overall. A very young, energetic crowd (in other words loud) but the food is excellent and it's not expensive for NYC. I go here every few months or so.

I rarely write reviews but wanted to share this. This is a restaurant primarily attractive to a young crowd eager for the drink special in the prix fixe menu. When we arrived (7 months pregnant and two kids under 10) they immediately worked to seat us quickly, then dispensed with the prix fixe because it didn’t make sense for us since 3 out of 4 of us couldn’t drink. Love the thoughtfulness. Food came out quickly, hot, kid friendly pasta options without insane portions. Great option.
