    We live on the UWS and decided to check out this fairly new steakhouse for an early dinner on New Year's Day so it was fairly quiet. The decor is modern and comfortable. The service was attentive and helpful and the meal was outstanding! The onion soup and mac n cheese were top notch. The NY strip steak was tender and cooked to perfection. The fries were crisp and not over salted. The spinach was cooked just the right amount. Desserts of chocolate lava cake and creme brûlée were superb. We will definitely be back to taste several other items on the menu. Definitely worth the expense. Cheers!

    Best find off of 125th! Amazing food for everyone (from vegan to meat eater). Perfect blend of West African Jolof and other favorites with salads and espresso drinks. We had a mixed generation table from 80 to 8 and everyone loved their food and we had time to talk and hang without feeling rushed. Highly recommend to everyone.
