An eclectic menu of hearty, classic bistro dishes crafted with New York flair. Think: A hearty Wagyu French Dip, topped with mozzarella and a creamy horseradish au jus, served on a perfectly crunchy baguette; or the Lobster Frites, made with luxe Maine lobster; the Bolognese Blanc, with freshly made rigatoni in a luscious white wine sauce, topped with wagyu beef ragu and parmigiano reggiano; or the innovative Caesar Salad with Fried Cream Cheese Croutons, which takes a classic Caesar and modernizes it with the flavors of that New York staple – the everything bagel. The star here, however, is the over-the-top Angie Chop Martini, a thinly pounded, breaded pork chop redolent of butter, lemon and red wine vinegar, topped with hot peppers and parmigiano reggiano imported from Italy.

    I work in the hospitality industry, so I truly mean it when I say: Niko was hands down the best server I’ve ever had in my life. His attention to detail and pleasant demeanor! We felt so catered to and everything from the ambiance to the atmosphere were top notch. I am a fellow Greek, all of the delicacies were savory, super fresh, and came out at record speed. Lastly, I have to rave about the salmon- my girlfriends and I all agreed that it was the most delicious fresh fish we’ve ever had… ever! The best part was Niko, but the food was definitely a very close second! - Jessica G.

    Everything about our meal was amazing. Our server, Mauro, gave us spot on recommendations. The steak was cooked and seasoned perfectly (filet for two). The shrimp cocktail and escargot couldn’t have been better and the dessert was delicious as well (something with hazelnut). The ambiance was lively and the decor was tastefully crafted. Love this place!!
