Brian PNovember 9, 2017It's a pretty place with very modern decor. Good service but their attempt to turn rustic cuisine in to gourmet missed.
H KMarch 10, 2013Try foie gras burger ... Runny egg, medium rare beef, bacon on the side. Just amazing.
ᴡ DuplatAugust 16, 2017Creative kitchen, cool place. However big bites are really small, and there was a cheat on the tip.
Leilani HartJuly 7, 2013Ask for Brian or Joseph. They will have you try different liqueurs in a way you NEVER experienced before!
Stephen KowalchukApril 26, 2013Good place for light eats & cocktails....it's connected to the W in the quarter
Vincent Vin volDecember 24, 2013You know what people love? Bread. This place has none and it's a shame when you serve pâté, cheese or foie gras. Those crispy crackers taste like cardboard. Nothing impressive, overall disappointed.
Crystal WashingtonAugust 18, 2012If you're a vegetarian, just ask the chef to prepare something off menu. You will NOT be dissapointed!
Charlie BuscemiDecember 28, 2012The Coquito bread pudding is hands down one of THE best desserts...EVER
Don't bother with the flounder carpaccio...the shrimp and tasso appetizer is delish!
Serena WDecember 24, 2012Avoid the seared tuna, it was bland and not fresh. Order the shrimp or sizzling fish if you're into seafood. End the night with the chocolate coma bar.
Pretty decent happy hour, $3 beers. Bar chairs are pretty uncomfortable though
Rebecca KirchnerJuly 24, 2013Went for brunch. Pretty unimpressed. Bloody Mary was terrible, especially considering how they brag on their bartender's abilities. Food was pretty, portions are small, underwhelming.

"The bar bites are amazing. Seafood beignets and the jambalaya, crawfish pie and file gumbo trio are out of this world."
