LOVE this restaurant which was closed for far too long. It's my "go to" pre-theater destination. Small but innovatively wonderful menu, great service and reasonable -- for NYC -- prices. Fresh oysters are a wonderful addition to its former menu.

We were there after a show on Thursday night. The “happy hour” bottle of wine was very good; the pizza and the risotto were splendid; and the service was perfect. It was a marvelous evening.

Very good service and ambience. I ordered the pork chop which was overcooked but still tasty. Others at the table really enjoyed their food. We'd definitely return.
