I came here for my birthday brunch with friends and had the best experience ! Staff was very kind and service was excellent. All the dishes were very tasty and you could tell the ingredients were fresh and very good quality (they use seasonal produce from their farm). I took the biscuit & poached eggs and French toast: each dish was flavorful and well balanced. They also had freshly squeezed orange juice so 10 / 10 for me. Thank you for the hospitality; will be back for dinner soon :)

The waitstaff was incredibly friendly and went above and beyond to ensure that my wife had a delightful birthday celebration. They even surprised us with several scoops of sorbet on the house, which was a small but much appreciated touch. The food was delicious as well.

Food is great, and we appreciated their accomdation to allergies. The restaurant has a nice atmosphere and a great selection of drinks.
Our dinner was somewhat ruined by an issue at the end. We had a gift card (purchased directly from them, not through a third party of any sort) and they had difficulties finding it in their POS given it was from before they migrated to Toast.
Despite us having both the physical gift card from them, and the receipt from them that was emailed to us, it was hard for them to look up.
Had a manager with authority been staffed, I think it would have been an easy fix. But the hostess seemed to have very little authority, and no one could resolve the issue. (She was very, very sweet though.)
Anyhow, it took over 30 minutes for them to finally fix the issue (after suggesting we pay in full, and they'd call us later in the week to take it and issue a refund...but we wanted to obviously settle and go, not spend more time later in the week). We were coming in from Long Island and missed the next train, forcing my 70+ year old parents to get home an hour later than expected.
It was unfortunate as it should have been handled much more expeditiously. And they didn't even think of waiving the $8 that was due on top of the gift card (as a small gesture...or anything for that matter). That plus the actual service isn't very attentive during the meal if you have a question, would like another drink, etc.
Great food though ... and our issues are definitely fixable, and many people may have a much better experience.

Delicious shredded duck gnocchi, comfort food with flavor that will knock you out of this world. Salmon was perfectly done, with beautiful light flavors. The chicken was also perfectly cooked, with a yummy pesto base. Both dishes were delicious but the salmon is a better option if you’re looking for something lighter (especially after raiding the starter menu). They were on top of moving between courses and very helpful. The waitress, Sophia, was absolutely lovely.

The starters were good. But when the mains came the duck has sinew/fat in the breast so it was inedible. The server didn’t ask about our meal during eating or when clearing the plates. So there was no opportunity to fix the issue. We were also celebrating a birthday which we put on the reservation but there was no acknowledgment. Overall good food but disappointing service.

DO NOT BUY GIFT CARDS FROM THEM!!!! Purchased a gift card online August 19th and restaurant still has not issued it to the recipient. They do not answer emails and their phone number goes to a machine.

Fabulous clever food. Fried green tomatoes, octopus, artichokes, cavatelli, are all superb.
A couple seasoning tweaks- simple hit of salt/lemon/acid/spice would have leveled up the duck and gnochetti which were still excellent, though both under cooked. Duck served rare is of course ideal but come on not cold in the center. Gnochetti were quite under and hard but a few tweaks to the leftovers and they were yum the next day… but why leftovers!!
We were definitely upsold on the amount of food to order and pressured into ordering individual mains as you allegedly have to order everything at once. Ordering 6 starters and then being pushed into 4 mains for 4 people is obviously too much. Really an unnecessary practice at a restaurant of this quality. Otherwise service was quite subtle and nice enough.
Too many caveats to merit a proper 5* review. Will happily return on occasion

Lovely place to eat. Not crowded even for a sunny Sunday brunch. Delicious food- empanadas and fried green tomatoes, blueberry french toast. Best Bloody Mary ever. Service was beyond great. Friendly and attentive. Highly recommend!!!

Absolutely delicious! My wife and I had the spiced duck and the wagyu and it was so tender and juicy. The service was one of the greatest I I'm had in a while, I think her name was Kayla. Thank you!!
Had a great time with my girlfriends. Everything from the cappuccino, to the green fried tomatoes, the huevos rancheros, the chorizo omelette and mimosa tray were amazing. Great ambience and service. Definitely coming back with the love of my life. The doughnuts were not my fave though.

The restaurant is located in a lovely neighborhood in Williamsburg, perfect for walking around in the summer. Aware that they used to have a Michelin star, I went in with somewhat heightened hopes but also not too expectant — then was surprised with an incredible meal start to finish.
The whisky cocktail was really well balanced, clean and on point, crafted better than most bars. The octopus chorizo and spiced duck breast were even more delicious; from the first mouthwatering wafts when the dishes are placed on the table to the wonderful blend of flavors, everything delivered perfectly. When you ask for the bill, it comes with a small coconut dessert that’s warm and chewy. I savored every bite of it and still think about it now.
Beginning to end everything delivered! Even the leftovers I brought home and shared apparently tasted very good. Would strongly recommend this place to anyone who is considering going.

Brunch food is phenomenal. Definitely must try spot.

Truly one of the most incredible meals I've ever had. Each dish was not only stunning but tasted better than I could've imagined, and was constructed with care and creativity. The service was also great - we felt taken care of without feeling rushed or pressured. I felt as though I was truly able to be present in the moment and enjoy the food, ambiance, and the presence of my friend. I can't wait to go back.
