Had a wonderful dinner here for our last night in NYC. The Maitake tartare was dreamy, the trout was light and fresh, and we loved both the olive oil cake and the chocolate marquis. We have gluten and soy allergies. This restaurant was very good about checking to make sure everything was safe for us. Our server also gave us great wine reccommendations. Highly reccommend the fig Negroni as well. Looking forward to our next visit!
