    The service and food were superb. Very happy we chose this place for our post theater dinner. We weren’t looking for heavy entrees, they were perfect. The charred broccoli was super yummy just the right amount of cheese sauce. I also highly recommend the liver pate. My husband is a cheesaholic and their selection was varied and delicious. Huge wine list for by the glass and bottle. Also I loved the upbeat but not overpowering background music. Perfect for both a date or a small friends group.

    Inventive, tasty food and superbly curated wine list are amazing in this cozy corner place. It has the vibe of a great local hangout but also the quality of the offerings make it a destination place for foodies and people from other boroughs looking for a great place to hang with family and friends. The service and staff are top notch -- well informed and helpful about everything on the menu and bar, and just damn nice people who you feel are taking care of you. Feeling is like the old Union Square Cafe - casual but yummy.

    Great food, wine and service. They were very accommodating with seating us and our huge stroller. We split a little carafe of wine and had a lovely brunch.

    I read about this place on Yelp and decided to try them for dinner on what would be my first day here in NYC. My first worry was about parking but at 6:45pm on a Monday Summer night, I was able to find a stall at the curb right across the street. They were helpful and supportive I would likely find parking when I called to ask earlier. The place was not so busy at first when I got there. The
