Ka: Great quick bite! Huge variety, everything's tasty.
Douglas Kurdziel: They have moved some hot sandwiches (like the wonderful Telera and steak sandwich) to the counter in the back - don't miss them!

Natalie Miyake: Fabulous find in midtown east. Nice space, great appetizers and large wine selection. Try the salmon tartare with avocado.
Harry: Nice, cozy little wine bar. Decent selection of wines and finger food. Conveniently located. However, the music does not suit the place and decor imho
Sexy LF: Nice selection of wines by the glass and a great, classy after-work scene. This isn't your popcorn and peanuts on the counter crowd.
Dawn Sandomeno: Great spot for a drink outside and the spiciest crab cakes I've ever had inside!
The Corcoran Group: Grab an outside table during the warmer months and enjoy a pitcher of sangria with a Beef Burger or Steak and Eggs. Relax, it’s the weekend, who cares if the service is slow.
Sexy LF: Put down the menu and order the truffle burger. Delish! You'll thank me later. The kale salad with shrimp is also delish but small.

Patricia S.: Certé's catering transformed our office party into a gourmet experience. The food was delectable, and their staff was courteous and efficient. I highly recommend them for any corporate event!
Noël Duan: For $1.75, you get an oatmeal raisin cookie bigger than your face. I would take a picture but I already ate it.
Raja H: Come here for the Montauk Hangover sandwich. Fried duck egg, creamed corn with pancetta, a spicy lobster sauce, and crispy fried leeks on a roll. (credit to Serious Eats)
