The 2nd time there in 2 weeks. It is a great bar restaurant, a place with wings and salmon salads too. Our drinks were stiff and delicious . The staff were attentive and our food was served in record time. When in White Plains I will go again, it delivers.

The food was OK. If we went for drinks and picked up food, I’m sure we would’ve had a different experience - appetizers and small plates were better than their entrées
