If there’s ever a testing time for a restaurant, it’s on a Saturday night. High expectation from people a sort of friendly hysteria …happiness of the weekend refuge - the joy ….and with it comes the pressure to the front of house , the waiting staff - and no more so, to the kitchen …and yet this place always performs so incredibly well like a well healed Premier League football team. Fabulous I can’t recommend it highly enough. What are you waiting for?-it’s without doubt the best restaurant in Williamsburg.

The food was amazing. I would suggest the shrimp mofongo. The ambience is very tight so it sometimes feels like you are sitting with another party but that’s NYC. I would highly suggest it.
