Super amazing cocktails and bites. Service was so so good. Highly recommend.
Best cocktails I've had in NYC recently. The seasonal menu is creative and the bartenders really know their craft. Service was attentive without being overbearing. Prices are fair for the quality you get. Love the vibe here—cool but not pretentious.
Solid wine bar with a nice vibe. We ordered a few small plates and the roasted vegetables were surprisingly good. The staff was knowledgeable and friendly. It gets moderately noisy, so not the best place for a quiet conversation, but perfect for catching up with friends. Parking is a nightmare in this area, so just Uber here. Took about 45 minutes to get seated even though we had a booking, which was a bit frustrating. Food quality is high, just be prepared for the NYC price tag.
