A wonderful find in SoHo. We ordered the falafel platter and hummus to start which was so good. It was a perfect amount for four of us. The lamb was perfectly cooked and the ravioli was super yummy. Kate was our server and bartender and she was great! Very attentive and made a mean espresso martini ❤️
