Kilmer our waiter could not have been nicer. He was helpful and made our dining experience especially special. The cocktails were delicious. The Bryant Salad I shared with my husband could have been enough for 4. I had the pan seared chicken and my husband had the halibut. Both exceptional. Finished off the even with iced cappuccinos and shared the apple torte. The staff so graciously sang happy birthday to my husband! Can’t wait to go back!

Our servers Kenny and Brianna were excellent. They brought a lot of energy and definitely enhanced the dining experience. They both made recommendations that turned out to be on point. The apps were tremendous, tuna tartare and lobster dumplings. We also had the Halston roll and the Holiday roll which was a special, both were off the charts. Everyone enjoyed their entrees except the bronzing which I was told was dry and an overall swing and a miss. The scampi and ribs were delicious. The PB&J desert was ridiculous.

My husband came here last night for dinner and loved it! We ordered cocktails (winter sangria for me, old fashioned for him), the tuna appetizer, a burger (him) and chicken milanese (me) -- all were fantastic! The service was wonderful and food came out super fast.

We went at an off hour (2 PM) so got stuck between shifts. We lost our waiter halfway through the service. On the plus side we were able to speak with the chef. All of the food was fresh and inventive and locally sourced when possible (Shinnecock Bay scallops). This is a gastropub so expect elevated food in casual but cozy surroundings.
