Food is consistently fabulous. Specials can be stunning. Service is pleasant and inviting. The only drawback is ambient noise in the main dining area, depending on size of dinner parties. Aside from that, a solid and enjoyable Tribeca go-to

Our server (Grant J) was so amazing. so kind, accommodating, checking in to see if our order was ok. It was my friends birthday and she is allergic to soy and sesame but LOVES seafood/fish. So we went here and they accommodated for EVERYTHING. Grant was the best, so understanding and didn’t question a thing. He also checked for everything in case of her allergy. Felt like a celebrity lol! Food was the best. Vibe was very chill was upscale. Loved!

Katherin C was our waiter. She was so lovely and attentive and made our anniversary dinner so special. But her interactions with other table were just as wonderful as ours. What a wonderful employee you have. The food was outstanding and the venue stunning with all the greenery and lights. Definitely worth a visit. Food was priced very affordably as well.
