Excellent cuisine all around - AND one of the best burgers in town. Their crème brûlée is one of the best I’ve ever had.

Our table wasn’t ready for about 25 minutes past the reservation time and our group of 7 were getting a bit frustrated. The restaurant made it up to us with complimentary Prosecco and appetizers, which we all really appreciated. Because of this amazing customer service and the great food, we will absolutely be back. Thank you!

Cecily comes to join a bunch of new excelent restaurants along Franklin/Greenpoint. A little pricey and nice welcoming service -slightly slow at the beginning, but very nice- it arguably serves the most refined, elegant and delicious fare in the neigborough. The menu is rather short but everything was just perfect, masterfully elaborated. Great Wine list but one regrets the lack of some good, more affordable wines. Definitely worth the experience.
