It was a nice experience. Not just the interesting quirky fusion dishes also matched with a great service. Pretty good collection of wine. Worth the expensive yet delightful experience. My only wish is if somebody could share more behind the creative thought behind these dishes.

Much needed addition to UWS. Elegant but casual, lovely food and good service. Criticism: The wine pours are very stingy, music needs refining (strange Italian pop opera rock not so great) - DJ and turntable to do not fit the vibe and seem a little tacky. But I think they are still figuring out their identity and working out the glitches.
