    We started with avocado hummus and beet tartar and both were delisious. Then we ordered seafood and chorizo dish and really loved it. Everything was cooked to perfection. Overall very good food experience. We will come back.

    I loved everything about this place, especially that seafood melange with chorizo. It was delicious and to die for. I would love to have that for dinner every night. Definitely have found a new gem of the gramercy/flatiron neighborhood.

    It was my second time there. My friend and I came on a saturday night, had tapas and a bottle of very good wine from bordeaux. We order from the new menu which is by the way much better than before. the products were really outstanding. We had the gambas and chorizo skewers, the frisee salad, the scallops, the beef carpaccio and then a chocolate cake. The service was lovely as previous, it seems like the owners are working there, very attentive and professional. and the music is definitely a plus. will be back soon.

    Buratta dish was out of this world, hummus was so refreshing , shrimp dish was really good and we loved chicken skewers. Everything was delicious. I heard table next to us raving about brie cheese dish, I am getting that next time I come. Definitely coming back, music was great. What a gem place. I was recommended by friend some time ago, but it took me forever to come here. Loved it!

    We were surprised at the limited menu-only tapas. We shared 3 different sliders, duck, salmon & shrimp, kale salad & polenta balls. Everything was good, not great. Wines by the glass were pleasant. Vocalist singing jazz standards accompanied 2 piece band was a nice touch. It has more of a nightclubby atmosphere better suited to drinks and snacks than dinner.

    The menu had a decidedly French twist which we weren't expecting, but enjoyed. Very friendly & attentive staff.

    This was our second time for Brunch here. Truffled Eggs, Eggs Benedict & Green Omelets . Three of us had the unlimited Bloody Marys @ $18 per person and one had a Sazerac which came with walnuts. The drinks and food were all very good. Sadly, the adorable Can-Can performance was cancelled for this Sunday, we hope it will resume soon.

    The place was completely empty. Burlesque Brunch was a bit of a surprise, I should have read more carefully. Food was good, but I dont think they should have done the show with only one table. It was a bit uncomfortable watching all the waiters snap photos of the dancer. It clearly was not a show for us.
