My fave New York-vibe restaurant. Great upscale American food. Always have new dishes and everything is always great - especially the pastas. Sublime service and cozy atmosphere. Perfect for parents or a date.

One of the more memorable meals I’ve had in the city in a minute. First, our waitress was lovely and let me and my mom try all the orange wines before picking which one we wanted. The food was incredible some of the most unique and flavorful food I’ve had in the city. Favorite was by far the tumeric bread and the French bean dip. Insane. Date and citrus salad also incredible - perfect sweet and spicy combo. Reviews consistently hyped the eggplant which was my least fav thing lol. Octopus kabob was yum (but def spicy!) and the lamb was the most tender lamb my mom and I have ever had. Chocolate cake also delicious. Love this kind of cuisine because you always leave full but not feeling gross.

Perf place to celebrate big accomplishments! We went on Sunday at 2 which was ideal big weekend linner vibes. But, as for what matters, we started with the savory pizzelles and meat and cheese which I think was the perfect sweet/salty bite to start out. Then we got the lasagna (duh) and it definitely was special, I loved the pinwheel take on it and it made it way easier to split. Comes with fire garlic bread too and was so filling we even took some leftovers home (which never happens with me lol). The broccolini was such a sleeper hit too lowkey my favorite bite dare I say? And then the black cocoa tiramisu was epic, loved how dense and rich it was - but why is no one talking about how the black cocoa gets ALL OVER YOUR FACE. Lol. Only complaints were a waitress was not the most pleasant and the heat was blasting inside. Thrilled to have gone, would absolutely go again for a special occasion and I want to try the sourdough chicken pasta thing
