So what is fork worthy. ...Bravas , octopus , sliders , sea bass & bouillabaisse ..sip worthy are cocktails made by front.bar :-). Get the Maya, maybe 2 . And have a chill time with the staff .

Service is slow, but you'll shut up about it once you try the Baked Eggs w/Brussel Sprout, Mushrooms , & Truffle Oil . Orgasmic and one of the best meals I've ever had.

Morgan McKee

Surprising find on the UWS! Bottomless mimosa deal is pretty good and food is actually well made. Was easy to reserve but place got pretty crowded . Perfect for summer days

Andrew C

Everything is good here - these fries are better than home fries + first few mimosa were strong, not so much later in meal.... the salmon and ricotta omelette was a bit runny, but still all great

Jenny K

Baked eggs with Brussels sprouts and truffle oil was delicious. They can make it without the cream for those who want something a little lighter.

Brad Eckhart

Recently began opening for brunch . Loved the Deviled Eggs and Beef and Lamb Sliders . Bloody Mary was awesome as well !

Karmyn Tyler

Happy hour is great! Only had time for the spouts! Drinkable wine selections !! Very nice!

Jenny K

Delicious! We shared chicken kebab , lamb burgers , potatoes and Brussels sprouts and everything was flavorful and cooked perfectly. Can't wait to go back!

Nicole

Brunch and dinner are delicious, albeit service being a bit slow. It's a tiny space, so you have to be ok sitting very close to other tables. The food's worth it, though.

Everything + bottomless brunch

Jonathan Ha

This place is just mediocre. Had the grilled octopus which wasn't grilled. Ordered the temp-cab blend (most expensive glass of red on menu) and it was bland. Would not go back.

Michael Fox-Rabinovitz

Highly mediocre, but not bad. Decent sangria , decent skewers , not so great octopus , OK potatoes ... Great staff though

Alexander JazzyAlex

Oyster happy hour

Second time here and extremely disappointed. The food was bland and the service was not very good. I wanted to like this place so much better.

Paige C

Not crazy about this place. Service was slow and the food was mediocre.

Staff was really friendly but the food took over an hour to be served. ????????
