Beachmom01August 15, 2014Impeccable service and perfect presentation. Loved the duck and the treats the brought us. The lemon pana cota reminded me of Brazilian "Manjar" was more beautiful than tasty. Great potential.
Matthew FergusonNovember 13, 2016Wow! The lamb cavatelli was excellent. The cocktails were flavorful and unique. And the service was OUTSTANDING! It was our anniversary and the staff went above and beyond to make us feel special.
Michael Fox-RabinovitzAugust 19, 2015Great cocktails, Gallagher 2.0 for example. Good house bread, tacos and burrata are good, duck very well done. Amuse bouche well chosen and tasty, liked th desert soda drink in mini bottle
John ColglazierNovember 13, 2016Seven different staff members wished us a happy anniversary. Brought a smile to our faces. Complementary dessert/champagne. Gave us bag with special menus/candle/small bottle of champagne. AMAZING!
Stephanie DeDeckerSeptember 16, 2016The Diver scallops and the cheese plate are to die for. Loved the atmosphere and modern setup of the restaurant too
MischaFebruary 10, 2015The prix fixed is really good and it's worth it. Idk if they change it throughout the season, but what I got was fantastic, great portions and better taste.
Jennie HJune 1, 2013Great service! Free dessert bc the waiter wanted us to have something sweet before leaving. Don't eat too much of the amazing homemade bread drizzled with duck fat or you'll be too full for entree
The Wall Street JournalApril 6, 2012The menu hits all points—with, of course, a burger for $18—and includes pastas, salads and a steak. A three-course prix fixe runs $30. Ricotta gnudi with chorizo was tasty, as was a beet salad. Read more
Jessica NgSeptember 13, 2014Seared diver scallop, duck breast, pulled pork tacos topped off with affogato. Favorite was the scallop!
John HollanderMarch 15, 2015Black pepper tagliatelle was unbelievably good. Affogato was likewise delicious. Prices, considering fare, were reasonable. Side note: best house bread ever.
Ms NYCSeptember 16, 2017My go to for business lunches. Top notch service. My company does all our client dinners here. Their personalization, attention to detail is great. What really is exceptional is the incredible food.
MatthewNovember 28, 2012For an unusual dessert, try Chocolate Box ($14). It is a sizable rectangular chocolate "box", complete with a removable lid! Inside are more chocolate pieces.
Kevin ThompsonMarch 3, 2016Excellent food and great option for a business lunch in Midtown. Try the pastas.
Nathan HicksJanuary 21, 2015The scallops offer a wonderful contrast: soft and sweet raisins, crunchy cashews and spicy curry.
They have an amazing cocktail hour! Great Drinks and Awesome Bar food!
- Ms NYCSeptember 16, 2017Must get scallops, ramen, house made pasta, tacos and dinner Prix Fixe/ Chefs Tasting Menu. They have a secret 9 course Chef's Tasting Menu. Wine list is outstanding!
Monica CullenJanuary 28, 2016Seared scallops with tri-color cauliflower were delicious. The seating was odd though! The chairs do not work for a big crowd!
Katie ChildressDecember 3, 2017EXCELLENT! Highly recommend the Chefs tasting for $75 - 5 generous portions with a ton of flavor - did not leave too full either! Can’t wait to go back!
Celena ChanJuly 8, 2015Good for a moderately priced business meal. Our meal came with an interesting amuse-bouche-- though not really to my taste, it was a pleasant surprise.
Joe BrownJune 9, 2012Rock shrimp risotto is boss. Chocolate fondant takes 25 min, so order it when you're almost done with your entrée.
Mark HimmelsbachMarch 16, 2013Pasta for appetizer, schnitzel for dinner and a Bedford (rye drink) for both.- Ms NYCOctober 28, 2017Stuffed Quail is Sooo Tasty! Don't forget the pork tacos and Foie gras!!! Decadence! Spoil yourself!
Happy Hour from 3pm-5pm, M-F. 50% off all wines by the glass/beer/cocktails. Amazing cocktails y'all and the staff is awesome!!
Lane RettigApril 15, 2016It's pretty. And the wine is tasty. But it's overpriced. And no happy hour to boot :(

"Great, historic venue. Saw Hedwig here and it was incredible. Just DO NOT order a drink. We paid $38.00 for a house red and a vodka soda. Before tip. Yikes."
