The wine list is superior and the view is unparalleled, a must-see. Entrees were all stellar and the staff is more than conscientious, downright charming.

F. Bastard

Great new spot. River/bridge views w/ a terrace and an indoor/outdoor vibe if you sit at the back of the restaurant on a nice day. Fresh-tasting and delicious (mostly) middle-eastern food. A wInner.

Jesse Lane

Can’t go wrong with anything on the menu. Short rib dumplings , and hamachi were standout dishes + amazing cocktails , views , ambiance and service.

Sandra Rubinchik

Floor to ceiling windows on all sides with a beautiful view of the bridges . Somehow never crowded . Definitely order a mezze spread just as a pretext to get their zaatar-rubbed flatbread .

Liz Bianco

Get the short rib , the hamachi , and the kugel . Great cocktails(man of wool and east of the sun). Go for the views , stay for the wonderful service and delicious food (plus the cookies with your check)

Everything is good. This is my first time for brunch and I enjoyed it. I had the brisket burger and it was quite tasty. The view outside of the bridge is stunning.

Kate

Have been here for brunch and dinner . The view is fantastic and the food measures up. Can’t go wrong with anything on the menu and the staff is really friendly

Hefe Hofo

Dips - hummus , baba ganouch-were very good. Staff sincerely friendly and nice. Being almost under the bridge means a lot of noise, though, if you are outside.

Paula Buzzo

Nice and cozy place. Ask for the Three-Course Family Style to try a little beat of everything.

Jordan M

great views & yummy cocktails . the trout is tasty, but a bit underwhelming

Daniela Asaro

Cocktails were good as was the service. Food was alright. Nothing made me groan. I go back to places that make me groan.

Incredible views and best brunch ever

Matthew Breuer

Great view but better food - dumplings are likely the highlight. Cocktails are meh but otherwise the bar program is p good

Lily Sironi

Amazing food and great mezze

Davy Zoneraich

The homemade ravioli is amazing!

Stephanie Park

You can't really beat the location on the water.

Josue Evilla

Delicious Greek treats and city views .

Stephanie Park

You can't really beat the location on the water, but the service is surprisingly bad. It seems like management has spent zero time training the wait staff--our waiter was totally clueless.

Nasir Memon

Nice views

Julian Segal

Not the service. Walk ins trumped reservations and the staff wasn’t willing to sit those who went out of there way to book . Food mediocre at best. Smelled like an old Hebrew school classroom

Deborah B

The food is too salty and small in portions. But great view .

Kurkina Anna

Went there for lunch . Limited, overpriced options. The lamb wrap was dry.

ᴡ Meza

The view is great, as are the cocktails . The rest was sadly mediocre! I wanted so badly to live this spot.
