The food was just okay. I haven’t been here for several years and it feels like the food has gotten worse. The rice taste like boxed rice and my friend who got the fried chicken said it was very mid. Hopefully they can improve their food but for now I probably won’t be back any time soon.

My husband and came to NY for the weekend and went for his birthday last night. The vibe was awesome. You could tell regulars were in there or that they just knew each other from around the way either way it was nice. The best thing to do is definitely make a reservation otherwise the wait is crazy or you might get turned away. The service was great they checked on you almost every 6-7 minutes filling up your waters, relighting the candle on your table etc. The food was great it came out super hot not just waiting in the window. I ordered pasta but wished I had ordered what the other tables around me had ordered. My food was good but theirs looked great. I recommend you going there. It was worth the price. The drinks were good as well. I didn’t take a picture of my pasta.

Needs updates.

The food here is consistently good and thats how they’ve managed to maintain their popularity but they’ve clearly outgrown the space. It’s crowded, tight, loud and uncomfortable.

Came for a birthday celebration with a party of 11. Our party was on time except for 1 person. They insisted we couldn’t be seated until the last person arrived, however they assured us our table would still be available when they arrive. The person arrives 5 minutes later. The space was so crowded the table operator confused us with another party and seated them before us and blamed it on “their system being down”. We all waited in the tiny wait area on top of other people waiting. They kept telling us 10 minutes knowing the wait would be longer.

In the meantime i sat at the bar and TRIED to have a drink while we waited and couldn’t even do that. The bartender brushed me off as he was making drinks for the entire restaurant and still had to make drinks for the people in front of him. 1 bartender for a packed Saturday night is absolutely ridiculous.

Still waiting and growing bored i start recording the chefs in kitchen as the kitchen is right in front the bar. The manager walks over to me and starts hovering…

About 15 minutes later they put together a make-shift table in the back of the restaurant in a corner where we could barely squeeze into our seats. The waiter then gives us regular menus when they had arranged prefixed menus for us. The night was chaotic and we could barely talk amongst ourselves because the music was so loud. There was a speaker directly over us. The only thing good was the food.

I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND FOR LARGE GATHERINGS Or even an intimate date night where you actually want to have conversations

Went for a weekend brunch with a large group for a birthday celebration and everything went pretty well considering how busy they were. Food was amazing. Service was good considering our party size and just how busy they were, but could’ve been a bit more attentive.

So, my best friend decided she wanted to celebrate her birthday at this restaurant, and I jumped in to plan everything about three weeks ahead of time. You’d think reserving a table wouldn’t be too hard, right? Well, it turned into a whole saga. I called the restaurant multiple times, only to be told their system was down. After what felt like an eternity, I finally got a confirmation text to set up the reservation. You can guess the twist—just a few days later, they told me they couldn’t accommodate us after all! Talk about a rollercoaster. But, in the end, it all worked out.

Now, let’s talk about the vibe of this place—it’s absolutely amazing! The music? Oh, it hits just right. We were a party of twenty, so they made us choose from a pre-fix menu, which was $80 per person. The food was phenomenal, but here’s a major bummer: my husband found a long hair in his salad. Yep, he had to pull it out of his mouth! The waiter apologized, but honestly, he didn’t seem too concerned about it.

On the bright side, the drinks were delicious and expertly made. However, the night took another unfortunate turn right after we received the cake. The staff approached us and said, “we don’t mean to rush you, but we have several people waiting for these tables.” I cannot stress enough that this was as we were still enjoying our dessert. It completely ruined the vibe and left a sour note on what should have been a fantastic evening. Overall, it was a mixed bag, but we made some great memories despite the hiccups!

A bit pricey but the food and drinks are delish! Good vibes and customer service. The space is a bit cramped for the amount of patrons that frequent the restaurant. Hopefully they will consider obtaining a more spacious location.

Owned by POC (people of color) and EVERYTHING was cooked to perfection! Steak was butter! Normally we have steak houses under cook our food (because most places don't cook to temperature), however we ordered medium rare plus (because we wanted it medium) and it came out exactly like we ordered and we had to send it back to be cooked a little longer. Love this place!
