Reviews
We started with thr fresh mozzarella and the mozzarella sticks. The fresh mozzarella was excellent the topped it with oil and fresh pepper. And the mozzarella sticks had a hot honey drizzled on them and more on the side. They both had excellent flavor and were very different so it was worth getting both.
Then we shared the chicken Milanese with ceaser salad and the short rib pasta. The chicken portion was insane it was so big and so much salad too. The short rib dish although small was very heavy but very delish.
Then for dessert we got the rainbow cookie dessert and the Samoa dessert. I was prepped that since I love a rainbow cookie I MUST get this dessert. It was to die for. The rainbow cookie was excellent and the ice cream also tasted just like a rainbow cookie with little cones that were filled with Nutella. And the. We got the Samoa cookie dessert. That was also excellent. I mean who doesn’t love a Samoa cookie the flavor was so great.
If you are thinking about coming here it a must!
The whole team there were lovely and we especially had great interactions with the food runner Kyle and our server Devin. We are happy to see this restaurant join the neighborhood and can’t wait to come back again!
We were seated at the bar with a clear view into the kitchen. It’s normally super cool to see what’s going on and the process. However, we watched two of the kitchen staff touching their phones or faces, then immediately touching food multiple times. A huge turnoff and after getting home, I did read a similar review from a few weeks ago. It seems like if you’re going to have a visible kitchen, staff should be on the top of their game.
We ordered bread (for $10), mozz & prosciutto and oysters for appetizers. All pretty tasty. My husband had the branzino for dinner, which was market price for a “whole” branzino. It was $60 for two very thin filets. I had the short rib pasta which was tasty, but a little too salty. Cocktails were all tasty.
Overall, everything was a bit too expensive to be worth revisiting and the kitchen staff hygiene makes this a place I would not recommend to others.
I went for the first time yesterday, and since it was my birthday, I truly got the princess treatment. Every staff member was kind and welcoming, making the night feel special.
Lindsey, our waitress, was phenomenal from start to finish. She walked us through the menu with enthusiasm, sharing the origins of the ingredients and her personal favorites. While she was explaining, one of the bartenders stopped by to ask whose birthday it was and surprised both my date and I with a shot of their take on an espresso martini—SO GOOD.
Lindsey’s attentiveness made the experience even better. She kept our table spotless, ensured every finished plate was cleared right away, and her excitement about the food was contagious. She even made sure we got dessert, bringing out a candle so I could make a wish.
The atmosphere was fantastic—it felt like a spot you’d find in Brooklyn, with great music and an inviting vibe. And the food? Incredible. My favorite dish was the mozzarella sticks—I already want them again today!
Overall, it was an amazing experience, and I’ll definitely be coming back. A huge thank you to Lindsey, whose energy and attention to detail made my birthday dinner extra special. Can’t wait to return!
