Vinny La Barbera: The pad thai is a must-try dish. Everything else we tried (lamb chops, brussel sprouts, crudo, short ribs) were fantastic as well. If he's working, ask for Antonio's section. He was a great server.
T Man: Fiji Cannelloni, Alaskan Cod, Flank Steak, not in order. Service efficient.
Natalie K: The Apple cannelloni dessert is hands down the best dessert I've ever had. Lobster fettuccini was also really good, but very creamy.

Neil Ford: Best short ribs ever!!!
Salim Mitha: Huevos Cancun. Awesome. The regular coffee is also excellent so no need to fancy up the coffee. Grilled chicken is either juicy or dry. If it comes out dry, send it back! When it's right it's amazing
Anneke Jong: ground beef kebab with quinoa. don't even try to not order the hummus, it's perfection pureed.

Austin Smith: Best combo...beef short ribs with the warm chips. Highly recommended!
Andrew Galdi: Good coo and great atmosphere. French toast is great. They use fresh squeezed juices in their cocktails
Dress for the Date: The Black Truffle Grilled Cheese with Crispy Onion Rings are a perfect comfort food. Pair it with a glass of wine or beer. The portion size is perfect, which makes it not over the top indulgent.
