I was there on a Thursday evening for dinner with a client. The service was friendly and helpful. The food was delicious. The drinks were unique variations of classic cocktails, and very pleasing. While very active, the noise level didn’t interfere with normal conversation. It was very pleasant evening.

My gnocchi and hangar steak was fabulous, and my steak cooked to the level of doneness (i.e. medium) that I requested.

Had a lovely experience with brunch. The food and drinks were really good and not too expensive for nyc brunch. Our waiter, Junior, was friendly and helpful the whole time. Would recommend this place to anyone looking for a cute quiet place for brunch.

We were there for breakfast w my boyfriend and we both loved the food; the portions were very satisfying. I think I’ll be craving that amazing pancake all the time! The service was excellent—from the waitstaff to the manager, everyone made sure everything was perfect. Thank you, Prince, Joana, Fernando, and Eda!

The food here is absolutely delicious. Some of the best meals I’ve eaten have been at this restaurant. The drinks were also delicious, and so was the dessert. The service was good, and the ambiance is lovely.

Our server, Junior was very welcoming and attentive. The food is good. We ordered the Burgers and the steak & eggs. The yuzu castella cake is the best I've ever had. You can really taste the yuzu flavor there. Love that they were able to accommodate my friend who has a service dog with her. The place wasn't noisy with loud music that we can hear the conversation within our company.
