Ian Westcott: Sit at the counter and get the shrimp fra diavolo.

Tammy Gordon: love the vibe. daily local/new menu. great bar. want to try the chocolate caramel tart w sea salt.

Jay: Try the polish food.

MJ Espiritu: Katsu curry. 'Nuff said.

Veronica F.: Lemon potatoes, yes!

Colleen Lindsay: Don't bother with the menu. Let Ali suggest something for you. You won't be sorry!

Lael Sturm: Anthony Bourdain suggests the bread and the black curry.
