Decor Musings: The pastrami sandwich trumps everything else on the menu. And the fries are perfect.
Fabiana Ruggiero Pereira: Pastrami, hotdog, fries ... everything is so good here!
Kevin Skobac: My go-to order is pastrami, Swiss, thousand island, and slaw, with a can of Dr. Brown's, sour pickles, and fries or latkes.

Amanda Gluck: The foie, lamb carpaccio and frisée salad are the best apps. Duck and steak by far the standout entrees. Get mushrooms, pommes frites and green beans as sides. Skip the chicken for two.
lauren: Ask for seconds on the flat bread with goat cheese spread, you won't regret it.Can't go wrong with the lamb carpaccio, crudite salad, duck à l’orange, short rib & pommes frites.(For 4 ppl, solid meal)
Giulia M: Flatbread and cheese they bring to the table, tuna tar tar, mushroom mille-feuille, short rib, lamb, pommes frites, chocolate fondant

Katharina Funder: Dollar oysters M-F 5-7 and you must order the fries with herb mayo!
Una Stade: Even though I am not a cocktail person,every single one ( out of 5 cocktails I tried ) was great! :) oyster happy hour was very enjoyable. Oysters,lobster,truffle fries was all very fresh and tasty!
Jon Chan: Come for the daily oyster happy hour, stay for the out-of-this-world cocktails. I'm a regular and get the On the Bowery or Pisco Sour. If you're looking for more to munch on, order the truffle fries.

Mary Elise Chavez: Menu favorites are the bacon-wrapped prunes filled with goat cheese, poached eggs with sundried tomatoes, grassfed cheeseburger & fries and artichoke dip.
Jon hoffman: If you're there for lunch, they have a great roast beef sandwich. The fries are also delicious
J Crowley: Solid lunch spot. Chicken sandwich is great but hold the honey mustard. Ask for chipotle mayo instead. Side of fries cause they're perfect... and another side of chipotle mayo for those fries. Trust.
