Fantastic experience! We decided to grab a spot at the bar so we could catch the Knicks game, which made for a fun vibe. Alex, our bartender, was super friendly and really knew his stuff when it came to food and drink recommendations. We went with the prime ribeye steak for two, and it was cooked to perfection—medium rare with a nice crust. We also tried the seared scallops with bacon vinaigrette, which were absolutely delicious. The kale Caesar salad was made with whole anchovies--which can be a divisive prep but they really pulled it off. Highly recommend.
