Our meals were hearty, rustic, and healthy. And delicious. Our server was friendly, helpful explaining menu options, and attentive without being overbearing. A wonderful, satisfying, relaxed dining experience with plenty of time to walk a few blocks to the theater for a show.

Khachapuri and khinkali are the backbone of this Georgian experience but don't sleep on the other offerings. The Taste of Georgia provides a nice introduction to pkhali, with a sampling of each to enjoy with bread and smoked cheese.

Great food (dumplings are a must) and service! Had never had Georgian food before and the staff was happy to help us put together a great order. Wine list also very good. Will make this a staple in my UWS rotation.
