    Absolutely gorgeous room. Service was exceptional. Not great for big groups. Best for 2 or 4. No big tables. Lots of small round tables for 2 they push together. Otherwise food was flavorful and it was an A+ r pence.

    The service and staff could not have been better as they were kind as well as knowledgeable and helpful which is Exactly what one would expect from a top notch restaurant! The ambiance was beyond fabulous! The decor and the original design makes it worth the visit alone as my out of town friend was memorized! The food was absolutely delicious as we had the crudo which I highly recommend and the dips which were delicious but tiny. The octopus was delicious as well but one piece as a main course was a bit surprising..my friend enjoyed his pasta dish as it was tasty and light as promised. I highly recommend the cheesecake dessert as it was delicious and shareable. To top off a great evening we were able to say hi to NYC’s mayor Adams and his constituents on our way out !

    Food was average and not worth the price. Endive salad was the best thing. Also, we asked to be seated in the main dining room. We were told no since they were accommodating big parties and that “hopefully next time we could be seated there”. I looked at the main dining room and there were plenty of empty tables for smaller parties available.

    The food was great - especially loved the bread, endive salad, mushrooms, and dessert mezze. The main dining room in the back is the best area to be seated- ask for a booth! Gorgeous space and vibey spot but not super loud.
