Great food & atmosphere. Service sub-par. Waiter messed up order and wanted to charge us for a meal that was supposed to be gluten free. He implied our error when ordering and wanted to charge us. Stew Leonard quote - Rule #1 customer is always right. We won’t be going back. Uncomfortable and awkward evening after this.

My favourite restaurant in NYC! Slowly working my way through the menu and I’m consistently surprised by the exceptional quality of the food and service. But one of the main reasons I continue to come back is because of the lovely bartender / waitress, Hally (red hair). She is always so sweet, funny and makes the best espresso martinis I’ve ever tasted. 10/10 would
recommend :).

Wonderful place! Make sure you have the correct address. Tripadvisor has the old location. The correct address is 52 1/2 Pembroke Rd, Danbury. The food was excellent and the prices were reasonable. The staff were so friendly and inviting. Don't miss this place!
