Came on NY’s day for lunch. Food, ambience, and service were fantastic. There was an issue initially with the hostess getting our party seated even though we had a reservation. The hostess was not very receptive, reassuring, or service oriented it seemed. But the manager eventually got involved who was amazing and got us all situated. Norma was the sweetest. Would definitely come here again :)

The host was very friendly. The decor was pleasant and the restaurant embraced theme around the bar and in the menu. We were seated in a cozy booth. Waitress was warm and welcomed us within a few minutes of getting seated. We ordered salmon potato latkes. It was a generous portion and very delicious. We also ordered apple pancakes and avocado toast which were also good. We will be back again.
