    We ordered multiple small plates and enjoyed them all. The chicken liver melts in your mouth like butter and the grape jelly is oddly epic. The tuna tartare was fresh and light. Other dishes we enjoyed included the calamari, Brussels, and crab toast). Service and ambience were excellent as well. Can’t wait to return again soon.

    We had received a gift certificate to your lovely restaurant from a cherished relative who knows we are both foodies. We occasionally dine out in Manhattan but have been disappointed with overly precious and pretentious restaurants. We have to admit we were a bit skeptical because your establishment looked so on trend. Boy, were we surprised. Thanks to the supremely gracious wait staff and superb food we were chastened that we had any doubts. We are an older couple and were afraid we would be overlooked for trendier diners. Nothing could be further from the truth. Although the food and presentation were the stars of the show, kudos to our server Vanessa, who made our evening. She was the perfect balance of genuinely friendly and attentive but unobtrusive. It was like dining with friends. The other servers were delightful also. I can’t remember the last time I enjoyed a dinner out as much. This restaurant certainly has it all together. May you have many more years of success. We will be returning!
