I got here pretty late, about 50 minutes before they closed. I was worried that I might be turned away or could only ordered takeouts. Good thing they were nice and friendly enough to give me a table. I got a French onion soup and a 16oz porterhouse. The bread was nice and soft, and the olive oil they served was ... very nice quality. It was very fresh tasting and fruity. The French onion soup was very delicious. The sweetness from the caramelized onions and the savory flavor from the broth. The bread was soaked with broth and covered with cheese. It was simply delicious. The 16oz porterhouse was cooked median rare. It was very good. The meat was tender, and not too fatty. The fat around was very minimal. It was enough to enhance the flavor and not too much to be too greasy. The cause was wonderful! I don’t know what’s in it, but it was almost floral. The vegetables (string beans and carrots) and mashed potatoes were cooked to perfection. The vegetables still had a snap to it, but cooked. The mashed potatoes were creamy and fluffy. Overall, it was a great neighborhood restaurant. The seating was comfortable, and music was nice and soft. I saw that most customers were regulars and lived in the neighborhoods. So happy to discover another great restaurant in my neighborhood! Read More

This place is terrific. We stumbled on it by accident. We were actually roaming down Lexington trying to find a decent slice of pizza when we happened upon this wonderful restaurant and decided to follow our gut. So glad we did. The menu was outstanding and the food was terrific. Our server, Kazan, was everything a ... server could be, from helping us decide on the specials to making sure we had everything we needed and also giving us a little bonus of some limoncello to cleanse the palate. Definitely going to be on our agenda the next time we hit NYC . Read More

This was a random find near where we visiting. The service was great. The staff was friendly. Most importantly, the food was really great! My mussels inmarinara sauce were delicious. Several folks in our party had large portions with leftovers to take home for lunch the next day. We are keeping this place on the ... list for a repeat visit. Read More
