    We sat by the bar and chatted with the bartender while sipping classic negronis. It’s a real nightlife gem in New York.

    Stopped by for happy hour, stayed for the Shrimp Alfredo Pasta. Portions are generous and cocktails are on point. Music was just the right volume.

    This place has serious style. Dim lights, upbeat crowd, and the sea food pasta was rich and creamy. Will bring friends next time.
