Zach HamedDecember 1, 2014Hidden gem on Upper West Side with American/Mediterranean cuisine. Chicken, risotto, and codfish all delicious. Beautiful high ceilings and old fashioned decor.
Morgan McKeeDecember 22, 2016fairly standard American fare, but good flavors and cooked well. Definitely complement your meal with apps; go for octopus and hamachi crudo, great mix of hot and cold to warm up your meal 😉
Ariel KaoMay 21, 2018Beautiful atmosphere, what a stunning space! The decor is cozy yet upscale with high ceiling and skylight! The service was excellent and the food just as delicious 😋
MonApril 27, 2019The braised short rib hash is to die for, I will keep dreaming about it everyday for the rest of my life.
Dino JAugust 22, 2015The Berkshire pork chop was moist and delicious. It reminded me of a great steak. I'm leaving this tip bc I want you to go there, order it, so this place stays in business and I can get it whenever.
Matthew CaldecuttMarch 12, 2016Aside from having to wait for no real reason (We had a reservation), our meals were great and you certainly don't feel like you're sitting in the laps of the people next to you.- Colin LeeFebruary 20, 2017Fantastic ambiance; high ceilings and airy feel. Squid ink pasta has a good spicy taste and codfish is delicious
The food here is excellent, especially the salmon. The dining room is dimly lit making the menus a challenge to read but that's ok because everything else about this place is great.
Claire J SongJune 10, 2015dramatic Main Dining seats 130 or 200 for receptions; within the rm is 40-seat semiprivate area called the Fireplace. private Endicott Rm seats 24 or 35 for recep, and the Tavern holds 65 for recep.
Loved: white asparagus and mushrooms and the Atlantic day catch cob over clam chowder. Great cocktails, too.
Rabbit pappardelle is great, sweet breads are a fun appetizer choice. For cocktail try brown derby.
Tracy HixonApril 15, 2016The special cocktail of the day had a huge jalapeno flavored ice cube in it, try it! Tasty octopus, salads and pasta in a relaxed atmosphere
Mike SleepJanuary 7, 2017the food is really excellent. I especially loved the asparagus appetizer. the room is spacious, stylish, and comfortable. I'd definitely come back 👐🏼
Adam MayJune 13, 2016Every bit as good as Apiary, Chef Bryan's last place. Solid menu all the way through, highlights include the Duck, Octopus, and Risotto.- Try the octopus, sweet breads and asparagus fondue and of course rabbit pappardelle. Apple tart for dessert.
Joshua BoggsMay 27, 2018American food with great seasonal options. Excellent service, good portions, and nice ambiance. This place is dope!- What an amazing place with such a low profile. A beautiful space with delicious food. I'm so pleased I found this place!
- Jenny KAugust 12, 2016The chicken and skirt steak are both delicious. Start with the escarole salad - crisp and tangy and refreshing.

Marie La RueOctober 3, 2021Very spacious, comfortable room and low level of decibel. Multiple fish options on the menu.

Michelle CFebruary 26, 2020Campanelle tastes great but they charged me $9 more than what the menu said. I won’t be back.
Aris AltomareMarch 25, 2018Bland, predictable American restaurant atmosphere, good food, overpriced wine. For the price, would not recommend.
