One of my top 2 go-to spots for dinner in the East Village (the other being Casmir). I always go for: strip steak medium rare, béarnaise sauce, fries, escargot, cabernet. (ps: decent brunch too)

great music, great vibe; you'll find it hard not to bop your head while you eat. the jerk chicken is my favorite: in wings form or on top of a salad.
