Food was very good. I had the hamburger which was very meaty and tasty. The French fries tasted fresh and crispy. My wife had the buttermilk chicken sandwich which she said was very good. My daughter had the grilled chicken and also agreed that her choice was tasty. Our server was very professional and pleasant. Overall a good experience.

I didn't eat here, so i'm biased on that. However, the vibe is really amazing for Sinatra night and would love to come again!

    I generally don’t write reviews, but this meal was spectacular. The food is so fresh and the presentation is beautiful.. Instead of an entrée, my friend and I shared about five different apps and small plates. It’s such a comfortable environment to hang out and talk and it was a beautiful day to be in the West village.. I’ll be back!

    Wonderful experience. Their selection of alcohol left my husband very happy. He got a flight that left him speechless. The food was so delicious and only topped by the amazing service we received. We will definitely come back next time we are in New York.
