   We booked the back room for my sister’s 50th birthday with a party of 22. It was much cozier than the front of the restaurant, and we loved the overall ambiance and vibe. The food was unique and flavorful—this was my first time trying duck and oxtail, and it definitely won’t be my last! We’re even considering hosting my daughter’s baby shower here because of how great our experience was

   Look the food was good but the portions were very small on the appetizer. Completely not worth the price for such a small amount. The wait time to actually get our food was very long and honestly we were only the second table sitting at that time so I would think it would have been much faster. With so many other choices out there I seriously doubt I would go back.

   My family took me there for my birthday. The atmosphere was beautiful. The items on the menu were so unique. Duck wings were an amazing appetizer, Oxtail pasta was delicious and so big, the burger was huge and flavorful with the thick cut fries. The only thing that could be improved was the kabobs. They were more of an appetizer size. Would be best to make them have more for the entree or just add it to the app menu.

   Went for my birthday dinner and had a blast. The oxtail ragu was flavorful and very filling. Also tried duck wings for the first time which were amazing will definitely be back.

   None of us were impressed with the food. Branzino was sloppy and sides had odd flavor. Friends had the kebabs and they were dry and just not good. Everything seemed very acidic and just didn’t taste very good. Not sure if it was a seasoning or marinade they used. Even the taziki was very tart. Only offer 3 desserts and didn’t have one of them. Best part was the pita bread. Overpriced and just wasn’t a fan. Server was very nice and helpful.

   Dined there this past Friday evening 6/14, had an Open Table Reservation for 2 at 6:45pm. Cute place, new place, empty place. Food average at best! Management poor, terrible mussels..wayyyyyy to salty. The manager guy proceeded to tell me at my table that 'the chef said he didn't add any salt'. I didn't say the chef did. I wasn't looking for an argument or anything for free!! I've been working in the Hospitality, and Restaurant Industry my entire life, and I love it! I know food and the industry very very well. , I just wasn't going to eat something that tasted like a pound of salt and no flavor other wise, nothing. I couldn't taste the mussels or sauce at all! SO Rude for the guy to even say that to me! Sent them back after having a few mussels, couldn't eat them! (I didn't bother to order anything after the mussels, I couldn't even get the salt out of my mouth with a full glass of water, lol. *(I was going to Governor's for a comedy show.. just across the parking lot after, 10pm Show . so I decided I'd eat there instead!) Bartender was a very nice girl, she should try another spot. I won't give this place a second shot though..not worth it. They're not ready to be open, they were very disorganized for service all around, and it was very obvious. With SO many great places to dine and drink in the area of Levittown, its no wonder they were empty..with no one in there like 5 people! Take your money elsewhere! $17 for the fig martini.. eh, nah,.. it was just ok. I doubt very much they'll make it! They are NOT fully set up for business, or seem to know what it takes to make it happen. It was overall just very obvious. I won't be back! Overall, HARD PASS!
