Fabulous food, wonderful cocktails and an amazing wine selection. Never had a bad meal there and last night’s dinner was truly wonderful. Two different pastas and hard to choose which one was better - both were fantastic. Steak tartare was delicious We ended with the “name your price” tasting of dessert wines for the table and it was a great selection and very fun experience.

Friendly welcome, chic and charming decor. Leather banquettes, marble dividers. Comfortable. Especial note to the excellently collated wine list. Kudos and thanks to Jorge, the knowledgeable and enthusiastic somm! We were invited to a spectacular taste, in addition to the very well-priced and delicious Pinot Noir from the Oh S***! markdown list. We are breadheads, and the rustic bread and baguette were first-rate. Lobster roll buttery, lobster fresh, sweet and delicious. My husband loved the breakfast burger. Delightful brunch. We'll be back!

I went here for my birthday brunch with a party of nine and it was just perfect. The service was especially outstanding. The restaurant has great vibes and the wait staff is so lovely. The price was also very reasonable. 10/10 recommend!

Lovely setting; easy underground free parking (with validation); excellent service. Burger was so-so but so many other delicious looking items on the menu (we made a poor choice).

Would give a higher rating but I’m annoyed when you have to pay the health insurance for workers on your bill!!! I hate places that do this. Then they bring the pay machine and it just says 25% tip or 22% tip. They’re holding it for you as you’re trying to figure out a lower tip amount (like 18-20%) under pressure. Food was good, as were drinks, but the charges and tip machine are annoying. Wouldn’t go back due to this.
