    A friend introduced me to this restaurant over the summer and it’s been one of my favorites whenever I come back to NYC to catch up with friends. I love the explosive flavors, delicious cocktails, and the music they played had me bopping my head while eating. Ray was a great waiter checking in to make sure I was enjoying my meal and had everything I needed. I always enjoy my dinners here because the staff is wonderful and gives excellent recommendations.

    Good food. We had French dip and French onion burger. The drinks were STRONG. If that’s what you like, you will love it. Wait staff exchanged my drink without charging. Great ambiance!
