Emily GrossMarch 24, 2011Don't get the rabbit, everything else looks amazing, duck was awesome, skip the rabbit ant you'll leave more than satisfied! Raspberry beignets are mindblowing!!
Stephanie OrmeJanuary 9, 2015The raspberry beignets are a MUST. Polished off the plate in less than 3 minutes.- Andrew ChoiJune 15, 2012wasn't impressed with their food during restaurant week, BUT holy crap when we came back for their normal menu, we were blown away! Hudson Valley Foie Gras & Raspberry Beignets were to die for!
Roula HannaSeptember 24, 2016I guess I did not have the same experience as others. The veal bacon was 95% pure fat. The tuna steak was overcooked and dry. The server didn't feel like working and it showed. Disappointed.

Lowell RocolcolFebruary 12, 2012If you have at least 3 hours to spare, do the chef tasting. Excellent food, I must say. Otherwise, stick to their a la carte menu.

Andrew C.June 12, 2016Good space for small corporate meals. Acoustics are horrible for larger groups. Food is well executed, but nothing particular to shout about.
Chris DouglasNovember 2, 2014Great bar staff, but waiting team let it down. Food in our group was very hit and miss. Sadly more miss than hit.
