JY GB: Happy hour between 12 and 7 PM, only wine and prosecco. Great bites like bruschetta, cheese plate (3 for $15). Staff is friendly
Steve LeVine: The bruschetta and Caprese appetizers were good. I really enjoyed the grilled salmon and my wife liked the pesto penne with chicken. Excellent Espresso Martini! Chocolate Trufgle cake is good, too.
Georgia R: Fantastic staff, wonderful Malbec, orgasmic panini. Best wine bar in midtown!
Ben Kay: A gem to visit. So firstly yes it's a cosy affair. Tables super close together (let's call it intimate). Staff equally intimate in a laid back, cooking for friends style. Incredible burger. Best ever?
Mark Heyert: Excellent tater tots, crab cakes, beet salad, and the bartenders are sweet and funny.
Michael Witbrock: Cocktails, old fashioned wedge salad, steak

Nikki Beauchamp: One of my favorite New York spots- if you enjoy a traditional tea time-highly recommend-great way to stop,and relax and step away from it all !
Alberto Mann: Do not sit near the crabby 30-something wearing a Christmas sweater. His faux French cultural references fall dramatically short. Order an Old Fashioned and hire a pro instead.
The Corcoran Group: You're definitely paying for the atmosphere here at this deluxe Four Season Hotel lounge. Drinks are good, but the real star of the show is the kobe sliders.
Tina Hui Tina Hui: Dine al fresca on a lovely summer night for happy hour. It's almost magical.
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.
Dawn Sandomeno: Great spot for a drink outside and the spiciest crab cakes I've ever had inside!
