Chloe is fantastic! The prawn pad thai is the best we’ve ever had by far. Tried one from each section of the apps, all very good but highlights were the beef skewer and crab uni buns. Ended with a top tier soufflé and espresso martinis with a lovely chocolate after-note.

A new neighborhood favorite! Outstanding service, exceptional food, proper cocktails and a feeling of pre-Covid NYC smart and chic that’s been sorely missing from the UES dining scene. Please keep the secret ;)

Burger was delicious. Crab cake is full of fresh crab, but could use a little more of the sauce. The slaw served with it is very good too. However, I think the crab cake the boathouse used to have was better. Appreciated the complimentary plate of veggies to start. Offering some bread would be nice too.
