    A brilliant food and hospitality experience. We sat at the counter and it really was 10/10. We love counter seats to get an insight to the kitchen and the team - this was a brilliant insight with a wonderful team.

    Went for Valentine’s Day and it was absolutely outstanding. Some of the best food I’ve had in general, definitely the best in Jersey City. We had the linguine which was cooked al dente and the fusion of Japanese flavors with pesto worked really well. The whipped ricotta and crispy mushrooms were also phenomenal. Highly recommended. Service was super polite and accommodating as well. My girlfriend has a severe tree but and peanut allergy and they made us feel very safe. Thanks again for a great night!!
