    The Crostinis are delicious, and the restaurant always has special versions that change often. The best one is on the menu - Ricotta, fig jam, and prosciutto (yum!)

    Drinks are awesome! Lump crab cake is great - try it! Black Linguine is right on point. Amazing. Also do the flourless chocolate cake with espresso gelato.

    Nice updated menu. It's worth another look if you haven't been here in a while, like we were until tonight. Delicious!!

    Great Prix Fixe menu! Delicious selections, very friendly waitress (we had Daniella) and cozy warm comfy atmosphere. Very bistro feel :-)

    The steak is awesome (now that I know I would either request no sauce or to be put on the side). Also the "flour less Chocolate" is nothing to write home about (not a fan of Mocha ice cream).

    One of my favorite restaurants in nyc. Rigatoni is a great comfort dish! Passion martini is stronger than you think ;)
