“This was an incredible experience! The restaurant is small and cute. The team was friendly and warm and knowledgeable. Every dish and every drink was well constructed and delicious. A memorable and perfect meal. Highly recommended!”
“This place is so gorgeous, adorable, elegant, vibrant and warm! The food! Wow! The small plates, each one is an explosion of delectable flavors! It’s like entering a different realm where everything, from the creative and well crafted cocktails and the food comes from a higher vibrating dimension! Our server was adorable with her blue starface sticker. Super knowledgeable and friendly!”
“Had the most wonderful experience here! The cocktails and hamachi were absolutely incredible. Merrick took such great care of us and got us seated right away. He really made the whole experience special. I’ll definitely be coming back and bringing more friends…can’t recommend this place enough!”
“We ordered light amount of food, 3 dishes. The portions are small-medium. They were all very flavorful and were very nice. The cocktails were 100/100. Wine selections are wide and good, matched with the foods well. Outside seats are quite dark, but inside is cozy and moody.”
“A solid B- of a place. Visually, it ticks off all of the Manhattan boxes: tiny, well designed interior, super cute everything, small plates. The staff is wonderfully friendly, as well. The food and beverages are quite mediocre, sadly. Starting with the cocktails and wine: upon sitting we were schooled in the fact that their cocktails were “low ABV” and that the wine was mostly natural. Our feeling on the cocktails was that was where money might be made because they charged full ABV rates and then made what tasted to both of us like mixers which had been added to ice and allowed to become diluted. Tastes are different so that fact that natural wines taste like beer gone bad to us, in no way counted against this place. Some people genuinely like that flavor, or at least the marketing hype around it. The food had a few winning moment: the ceviche was wonderful and creatively served with corn nuts, though the bread tasted like a forced health spa from the Kellog era. The beet gnocchi was undercooked and tough. Go for the lovely people at the front of the house and the pretty jewel box design of the place but don’t expect much in the way of blow-your-socks-off cuisine.”
