    Another great brunch shared with friends. All meals prepared and presented with care and good service as well. Very noisy inside so outdoor dining is always preferred.

    The food came out cold and not appealing. We had to send back the french fries for new order and the cridpy calamari was cold and soggy. The salmon looked old and not appealing. The matcha coffee was not hot and had to be sent back. What happened to the restaurant I really liked?

    I don’t know what happened to this restaurant but the noice level inside is unbearable!! Way too loud. They really need to add some sound dampeners to the ceilings or something-I had such a headache by the end of the dinner. Food was great and the service was OK but unless they fix the noise level-I will not be back. So sad as I loved this restaurant….

    One problem: ordered focaccia as one of our starters only because server recommended it. It came drenched in oil and so was not a pleasing finger food. Told server we were unhappy with choice but it appeared on bill anyway. Otherwise food delicious.

    their HVAC stopped working early in the meal. we were all sweating and eating...you would think they woulf at the least offer us a free drink. All they could say was it was tough on the staff too...they seem to have forgotten they are there to serve the customer.

    Great brunch offerings. We enjoyed our meals. The Mimosas were a little pricey for the serving size. The noise level made conversation difficult at times. If the weather had been cooler, I think we would have enjoyed the outdoor seating area. The interior was very noisy.

    We were meeting friends who were visiting from Florida and wanted to stay above the congestion pricing zone. We often go to The Smith in the East Village when we attend theater down there, and have enjoyed the Smith when we're going to Lincoln Center. Love the menu, with plenty of options, and always reliably well prepared and delicious. Terrific, attentive service--exactly what we expect from a well run and professional New York City restaurant.
