Went here for the first time last night and was blown away. They've found a way to make such simple food just so delicious. I think I can say their spicy feta cheese dip that came out with an appetizer was the best dip I've ever had. And their buffalo chicken sandwich was just phenomenal. You should really check this place out.
This place was delicious. Came here with a very big party (20 people). They easily accommodated all of us (reserved in advance). The food was shared family style, we got a lot of different dishes and everything was delicious. The service was fantastic. We stayed for the music at 10:30, but the music wasn't quite working for us so we left, but that's not on the venue. Just looking for a different style of music. The space to dance itself is perfect
I came here last night for a friends birthday party, there was about 15 of us. The place accommodated us and the host was very welcoming and the staff was attentive and friendly . They do family style meals for large parties. We had the burrata, octopus, sliders , and crab cakes. The food was delicious my favorite was the octopus it was very well seasoned and I loved the sauce . The drinks are also very strong and tasty, they have an array of interesting cocktails as well as standard wine and beer. I recommend the blue drink it's basically a pisco sour with a bit of a sweet touch to it . For dessert we had homemade strawberry cheesecake which was absolutely delicious. The place turns into a club after 10:30 . They play top 100 music but it's not my scene as far the dancing goes . It gets very crowded and is small but they do allow you to do a private party and close off a section of the dance floor if you pay extra ! Def worth it for food and drinks though !
The food was actually amazing! I had the lobster pasta, burger, fried burrata, octopus, beef tartare, and chicken schnitzel. I would def recommend everything except the chicken schnitzel, it was way too salty! But service was great and the ambiance was nice .
I randomly stumbled upon this bar and I'm so happy that I did! A friend and I was taking a leisurely walk towards Washington square park and passed this restaurant. Something about it intrigued me. While walking in, we were greeted by the amazing hostess who gave us the option of sitting inside or outside. Due to it being a beautiful day, we chose outside and was able to take in the restaurant as well as the bustle of New York City. While I can't comment on the food since we did not eat, the drinks at this place were delicious. I chose the lychee martini and was pleasantly surprised on how delicious it was. What got me about this place was the amazing conversations I had with the staff, the scenery and the drinks. If I had not eaten before, I would have loved to try their smash burger on the menu. The prices at the restaurant were great in my opinion and you won't break the bank. I highly recommend!
