    Tasty and generous portions. The mussels were plump with no hint of sand….huge burgers and a delicious array of desserts too. A real UWS go-to gem. Topping it all off is the warm welcome and great service (thank you, Jason!).

    Had a wonderful experience outdoors with a superb waitress. Stephanie. Some of the dishes had a different twist than expected, therefore the lower rating. But I would definitely recommend it and will return.

    Everything was good except that we requested a small quiet table and they had a DJ playing from 2 pm, when we arrived, up until at least 4 pm. The music was good but the volume level was needlessly loud for the 15 guests in the space and the totally subdued atmosphere. It wasn't a dance party and the space is like the size of a large studio apartment. Half the volume would have been more than enough. Cocktails were very good. Food was tasty.
