    Awesome dinner spot - they play hip hop! Everything I've ordered was AMAZING - branzino (comes whole but deboned), the sea bass, and the mushroom crusted chicken. Service is meh tho.

    The goat cheese salad was wonderful!Service was great too. We had our baby in a prem and they found us a great spot even if it was very busy. A little on the pricy side but I guess it is New York...

    Simply delicious! You can't go wrong with any of the fish options. Sit back with a glass of wine and enjoy the outdoor seating (most two tops) on this adorable west village street.

    Great dinner spot. Good vibes and food. The pistachio goat cheese salad was excellent, and so were the scallops as an appetizer. Tuna tartar was nothing special.

    One of my favorite brunch spots in the West Village. Everything here is delicious, if you need to satisfy your sweet tooth, give the banana French toast a try!

    A solid go-to spot for a date or dinner or brunch with friends. We love to start with the goat cheese salad, followed by the tuna or chicken.

    What a surprise! This place is superb and reasonably priced. The Sunday spaghetti and meatballs are worth the hype 😋 🍝

    A perfect place for first dates. For mornings - Eggs benedict on the brunch menu, which is an absolute must (tip: order the fries as a side – you won’t be sorry!). Read more

    The Jagger is amazing (winter cocktail). The burger is pretty good, but they tend to overlook it. Goat cheese salad needs more beets and less onions, but pistachio crust is great.

    The watermelon martini is more than worth it because it's super strong and a summer special. Mushroom crusted virgin chicken is to die for but the bones are kind of bothersome with a fork and knife.

    Had the grilled Atlantic salmon for my entree & they were very accommodating making it gluten & dairy free. Substituted purée with asparagus & butter with oils. It was delish!

    Wonderful service. Portions could have been bigger but the food was great. Try the tuna tar tar. Love their coffee and steamed milk.

    A staple in Greenwich village. Moderately priced and excellent food. I recommend the snapper stuffed with crab meat.

    After all these years, still a delicious reliable brunch. Arrive before noon for the sidewalk terrace seating for the best/absurd west village people watching.

    The frittata at brunch was so delicious - perfect texture and so much flavor. Try subbing the cheese with artichokes. Great outdoor seating as well.

    Simple, fresh Mediterranean. They don't take reservations for parties under 6, so the wait isn't too bad. Great people watching outside. My favorites: goat cheese salad and sea bass.

    I look forward to seeing Jean-Rene and his fedora every time! The food, prices, and ambiance are great! A vegetarian entree or 2 on the menu would be nice!

    Mmmm banana french toast. A trendy little Greek/seafood restaurant in the Village with very tasty meals. They don't take reservations for brunch but they do for dinner.

    The Turkey Asparagus burger is amazing! The fries are just the absolute best and the truffle/mustard dipping sauce is heaven! Not to mention the great atmosphere...

    It’s an expensive place but food overall is very fresh and tasty. Probably a little overpriced but still a great place to dine.

    Hard to make an exciting chicken dish, but they pull it off. Great seafood too. Seared Tuna, Halibut, Sea Bass, and Salmon are all top notch.

    Best brunch venue in west village. When it's warm, sit outside. Easier to get seats if you sit at the bar.

    Solid spot for brunch, nothing mind blowing but pretty good. Tables usually available even when the entire west village is overrun with brunch seekers.

    Fries with Gorgonzola fondue are a must. Order those with your drinks, then look at rest of menu.

    The Brussel sprouts are an absolute must!! The sweetness of the apples coupled with the salty savoriness of the bacon (pancetta) just leaves your mouth in pure delight.

    Extremely busy on weekends & they only take reservations for parties of 4 or more. Great date spot though. The french fries w/ gorgonzola fondue (from the sides menu) is a must.

    Grab a table outside and order the eggs benedict or moroccan scramble. Don't forget the gorgonzola fondue + fries to start.

    Just ate the orgasmatronic carmelized Banana French Toast with mascarpone & Spanish fly. This was the best French toast I have ever eaten.
