I think this is the most underappreciated restaurant in the city. Always excellent food and service and the ambience is just cool. If it was a little closer to the Aronoff, it would be as hard to get into as Boca. Highly recommend.

Every bite of food was incredible. We had the brioche, beet salad, and burger. We’re still talking about it the day after and we’re sure to stop back soon. Great staff and ambience, as well!

Our evening could not have been better. The service was friendly and attentive. Waiter, bartender, and sommelier responded to all our requests and went above and beyond, dividing our entrees since we shared two, finding the right wine when our first choice was unavailable and making an excellent mule! Appetizer of mussels was excellent. The two pasta specials were delicious, sea bass and gnocchi. On a snowy night it was cozy and relaxed.

We dined here New Year’s Day for dinner. It’s beautiful and comfortable. We ordered the meatball appetizer, which was delicious but we felt it was served a tad on the cool side. The entrée of salmon was perhaps a tad overcooked but the crusted duck was perfection. The caramel cider cheesecake dessert is very rich. We had nightcaps at the bar and enjoyed the seasonal dark Manhattan made with a dark stout beer reduction, very warming on a cold winter evening. Friendly and prompt service from the staff.
