I loved the food! I have a numerous dietary requirements and the menu met them all and was still super tasty! My only negative comment, is that it is very noisy - all hard surfaces.

I saw the write up in the New York Times and Broadstreet so was really looking forward to a Fathers Day lunch. The place was too small, the food was disappointing and took a long time to reach the table. But worst of all we froze the entire time as the door wouldn't close. Not good enough

The noise level was to high. This was because of a faulty door which would not close properly allowing street noise in, as well as the acoustics inside with concrete floor and metal legged chairs which scraped incessantly by customers coming and goings.
