Located above Roots Pizza, it truly is a respite from the big-screen TVs and carb overloads to be had downstairs. The ever-changing menu always offers some unexpected pleasures. Read more

The summer menu features snacks like gougeres w/ lemon caper whipped goat cheese and chow chow relish, and light cocktails like the "Violet You're Turning Violet" w/ blueberry Veev, cava, and lemon. Read more

The garden rooftop is gorgeous and peaceful. Went with a group and got to sample a lot - bread basket and chicken skins are a must app and the corn dessert was delicious.

Sitting in the middle of a garden having dinner you forget you're in the city! Staff is super friendly and knowledgeable and the manager will go out of her way to make your experience extra special!

Reopened for the summer with beefed-up staff. New executive chef Chris Curren and beverage director Ben Schiller have the people talking about the food, cocktails, and rooftop garden.

The food is delicious and for a good price! Try the village if you like gin and juice and the baseball steak, fettuccine with rabbit meatballs, and save room for cherry or plum desert! Sit outside

I loved the rooftop. We went for brunch, which is made/served by West Town Bakery. The food was just fine, but the ambience was unbeatable. Oh, and they know how to pour mimosas here :)

Garden to table, amazing atmosphere, small but inventive menu, good drinks, very easy to stay for several hours just shooting the breeze (and it's real breeze!)

Highly recommend on a beautiful evening. The Tajarin really won me over (delicate, flavorful, just perfect), but everything was very, very good.

Like the farm to table concept they were trying to achieve but I think they need a bit more time. Recommend duck leg and squid ink pasta and Western cocktail. 2-3 small dishes per person needed.

Amazing duck and orecchiette! And epic dessert. Don't miss the deconstructed s'more and the drumstick 2.0. Great service, too!

Lovely rooftop. Breadbasket. Chicken skins. Mussels if they don't run out ( which they have the past 3x I've been) all great!!

Fettuccine with rabbit-pork meatballs and nettle pesto is considered a small dish on the menu, but it's plenty satisfying. Read more

Try the: 'Two Way Potato', 'Crispy Vegetable Tempura', and 'Seared Scallops'. Nice West Town rooftop when it's not raining. Order drinks. Enough said.
