    We went for brunch before a show across the street at the Shubert (super convenient). The hostess who turned out to also be our waiter wasn’t very friendly but fine. Needed to ask for water multiple times. NI felt misled that the Prix Fix brunch menu published in the website want available (regular Sunday at 1pm) but a similar albeit more expensive menu. The salmon with risotto cake and shaved Brussels was very good.

    We enjoyed our meals. Salads with goat cheese, hanger steak tapas, pasta with bolognese- pasta was a little too thick but definitely house made.

    My husband and I decided to share a few tapas with a salad. Every item from the duck eggrolls to the grilled hangar steak was delicious. We loved it so much we indulged in dessert. We had the shortcake with rasperry sauce. We will definitely be back to try their entres!

    Drinks are very good; halibut was excellent; steak a little overcooked- if you want medium, specify “pink”😊

    Delicious! Our table started with a beet salad, artichokes, and octopus. Then we had seafood risotto and paella. All of it was terrific.

    What an amazing meal! Delicious so many choices and a warm welcoming atmosphere. Great drinks as well. Many choices for the vegetarian with us as well but plenty to keep meat eaters more than happy. Thanks for a great meal!
