Peaceful and cozy on a weekday afternoon. Good menu variety, decent prices. Portion of the chicken was great. Very fast and friendly service.
Cute atmosphere, nice servers and host, good food. Was overpriced but that's to be expected from a trendy NYC cafe. Overall great atmosphere!
Cozy restaurant in the west village, has a charming ambiance and perfect place for date night! Food is good not anything mind blowing but I enjoyed the apps and my main dish!
A go-to 1st night in New York kind of vibe for us. Not particularly high expectations on food but the burger was spectacular as voted by 2 out of 3 of our party. The 3rd one had something else so it doesn't count !. As is typical these days, wine was ridiculously expensive. I found it difficult to find anything potable under $50. Service was efficient and friendly suiting our jet-lagged state of wakefulness. Doesn't disappoint and we will return.
I had a fantastic brunch experience here on Sunday! My friends and I were striking out with getting a table at other spots. We put our name in and we got seated super fast. The service was fast and they also let us hang out and talk for a while event after we were done which was so nice of them. The cappuccino was a 5 star one for sure. I had the smoked salmon benedict with fries and their fries are just fantastic. Get some mayo to dip them in! It truly hit the spot. I thought the eggs benedict was a great size. Not too big and not too small. I can't wait to come back here for brunch!
