Radicchio salad came with avocado and celery, but those ingredients were not listed on the menu. Lastly a classic Moscow mule was not prepared in the traditional way with ginger beer and really left much to be desired. Service and seating selections were excellent.

The music in the restaurant was a little too loud for conversation. The squash and mushroom appetizers were delicious. The quail was a little too small to share, which we did. I wish there was another salad on the menu. I'm not a fan of radicchio. Our friends enjoyed the pork collar. The Mohawkan Old Fashioned packs a punch. Our server, Erin, was wonderful. Thank you for a memorable evening.

The service is amazing, drinks were great, and overall the food was good. They are newer so I would give it another try for great food down the road when they get more time being open. The open kitchen is so unique, and I don't think there would be a bad seat.

We enjoyed a cocktail and an app. The beef tartare was pretty chewy and tough and not worth the price. The drinks were good. Service was great in terms of attentiveness but our server was kind of pushy and combative when we told him we only wanted to order the one food item. He seemed confused as to why we didnt order anything else.. it was almost 10pm and we had just come from a work party where we ate dinner. I thought it was pretty normal to sit down somewhere and just have a cocktail especially in a place like that. He was nice.. but just acted odd in moments. We would come back for drinks especially when its warmer out but the food doesnt seem worth it.
