“one of the best meals I’ve had in NYC! from the oysters, to their everything brioche, and XLB agnolotti - I love how creative every dish was and everything was pulled off with amazing attention to detail my friend and I also thought the cocktails really packed a punch and also appreciated how nice and attentive the servers were”

“The first course; oysters, potatoes, and Hamachi crudo; was unbelievable! Truly a flavor explosion. The Summer Zucchini had the perfect amount of heat and was delicious, and the Everything Brioche was solid. I could’ve skipped the Agnolotti XLB and the brisket, though. Dessert was very good, especially the matcha gelato, which was out of this world. It was an odd night overall, when we arrived, only two tables were taken, and by 9 p.m. we were the only ones left. My guess is that the tasting menu price doesn’t quite match the experience, especially given how inconsistent the dishes were.”
“We came here to celebrate a friend’s birthday on a Saturday evening and all of us chose the prix fixe menu(they were able to accommodate for a vegetarian version which was a plus!). The meal started off strong — the first three appetizers were served together, and each was beautifully presented. The tomato salad with matcha sauce was probably my favorite, such a simple dish yet it had so many layers of flavor! The pie was amazing, and the dumplings were perfectly al dente. Unfortunately, the main course was where things started to dip. It felt quite plain and underwhelming compared to the earlier dishes, and the dessert didn’t really stand out either. The staff were nice and friendly, but perhaps because it was a busy Saturday night, they kept forgetting our drinks. We had to remind them several times. The service felt a bit disorganized, which was surprising for a Michelin-starred restaurant. Overall, we still had a great time, and the food especially the appetizers were memorable!”
