    The service, food and wine were all lovely. As a party of 3 we sampled a number of small plates and mains and enjoyed them. Great neighborhood spot!

    A great place to go after work in and before a Broadway show. The wine selections are bountiful.

    I feel like we found a hidden gem in Hell’s Kitchen. Food and service was spectacular with wonderful wine flights too! We shared an assortment of things from the menu. The pasta was ridiculous and the endive salad was to die for. Highly recommend!!!

    I don't know if I've ever had a more luscious mushroom soup -- and I've tried it in many, many great restaurants. My friend was equally pleased with her cauliflower soup. These may not be on the menu every day, but they show a level of expertise and talent that can't be a matter of chance. The menu has many options to share, which worked perfectly for us, and the steak tips were everything we could have wanted: moist, tender, very flavorful. Needless to say, the wine choices were interesting and we were both very happy with the wines we had. All this was in a small, charming place with great service. This was a real find.

    What a lovely Birthday celebration we had here for our dear friend! Food was delicious—REAL FRENCH BREAD! Service was upbeat and attentive. We felt like long-time patrons on the first visit. A very special place!

    Entire brunch service was a disaster. Single server had too many tables. Kitchen was backed up.
