    One of the most special people in my life flew across the world to come and see me for a few days. And there was only one place I wanted to share the first day together with and that was at this wonderful restaurant. I always find Sundays tricky at restaurants, but I knew this one would not disappoint me. The ever changing eclectic menu, carefully crafted - was as usual - filled with wonderful choices and when our meal came out only one word comes to mind ..wow! The other test of a good place is what happens when the key manager is not there-not to worry here. The staff absolutely are a team- quietly and efficiently making it all happen. The service absolutely on it The vibe in the restaurant - authentic, relaxed - and chilled out ..just as it should be - seemingly effortless … I’ve said this before and I can only say it again this truly is the best restaurant in Williamsburg. Sorry Missy. Sorry everyone else. You’ve got a long way to go. Which makes me wonder - Why aren’t they on the top 50 New York list? Lazy journalists maybe? Go! Truly And no- I don’t hold shares in the place , although I wish I did

    Very cozy and comfortable dining experience on a chilly, late November evening. Enjoyed sitting at the bar - the bar tender was attentive and flexible with my order. Appreciated her! The brick oven roasted half chicken and Mediterranean salad was exceptional! Hated to take the last bite! Will return soon.
