Pam R.: Cheese plate, yellowfin tuna tartare great. Skip the pizza. Also order a bottle versus wine by the glass. Weak pour.
Silvia Nordio: Love this place! Sole Muniere my favorite and crepe Nutella!
Susan J Campbell: Tuna Tartare and the beet salad were both delicious. Special rack of lamb was excellent, salmon was really good.

Geoffrey Haratyk: Beef, aspargus, wine pairing, and all desserts.
ZAGAT: Try not to get too full before dessert – a dish of complimentary chocolates and pastry bites await you. You’re also awarded a free slice of cake if it’s your birthday.
The New York Daily News: PHOTO: Across the street Greer Garson, as Eleanor Roosevelt, and Ralph Bellamy, as Franklin D. Roosevelt, sit in a refurbished Packard for a scene in "Sunrise at Campobello" in 1960, at the link! Read more.
Ale: English Breakfast and Avoca Toast with sauce on the side. Great place and nice venue
Thea Rodgers: All dishes were pretty basic, but delicious. Try kale Caesar salad, orecchiette, crab & avocado toast. Made us wait 40 minutes for our table, offered free crudo for the wait & then charged us for it!
Time Out New York: Try the sundae, bourbon-vanilla & Scotch-chocolate ice creams form the base; the booze factor are cherries soaked in Pimm’s, and salted-caramel chocolate sauce & whipped cream mellow the alky punch. Read more.

The Bar Room: Juicy Bar Skirt Steak with whole roasted spring vegetables & chimmichurri.
Yasmin Rodriguez: The best bar in the UES/Midtown east area. Super chill, unpretentious and really good food. I wish they would have opened 3 years ago when I lived in the area.
Meredith: Possibly best artichoke dip, ever, period. The owner also plays DJ and takes requests.

Mary P: Highly recommend the mango margaritas and the black truffle quesadillas
Theo Davis: The frutas guacamole is unbelievable. Pair it with the atun ceviche and you'll be drowned in fresh flavor. The short rib tacos are a must but I'd pass on the tilapia. Beware of small portions.
CB: Things to get besides the guacamole, which is great- truffle quesadilla, braised brisket tacos and spicy shrimp tacos. Tequila selection is great
