Try the self made flights and truffle fries

BTW - my bad dining experience actually woke me up and is why I'm typing this at 4am. Forgot to mention that it was not just the kitchen that made the service bad, it was also SLOW, ignore you service

Service is spotty -- waiters look overwhelmed and everything is slow. Took me 10 minutes just to ask for a table because the hostess was taking a phone reservation.

Decent wine selection, BUT service is as good as not existent at this place, first we didn't get our drinks, after we ask we received the wrong ones.... Our appetizers never showed up either....
Christy ChittendenSeptember 6, 2010

TRUFFLE FRIES
Nick QuattrocchiDecember 29, 2010
Delicious mixed cocktails at the bar.
Rich GunnApril 8, 2012
The service inside for brunch was extremely poor, aka really sucky. Bottomless mimosas don't count if the help doesn't come by every 30.

Free brownies with a check in
Brett FisherMay 29, 2011
They are a bit zig zag here... Called me 30 min after we were sat to tell me my table was ready. Food came out at staggered times. Marginal guest experience...
Frances Donegan-RyanMay 13, 2011
The free goodie bag is not really a bag it's a teeny tiny brownie

Pizza + wine with a view!

Truffle fries and a cabernet

Worst service ever. Plan to be here for at least 3 hours.

Peynir tabağı iyiydi ama en iyisi terası ve ambiyansı. Gayet güzel bir mekan. / Cheese plate was good. Anyhow terrace and the ambiance is wonderful.
Maria De Los Angeles MaranoSeptember 16, 2017
Muchas variedades de vino, un sommelier muy agento apropiado para el restaurante. La atención es muy buena y los precios están acordes a la calidad.
Christian KJuly 2, 2018
