Vivian Vo: Fried chicken biscuit sandwich (the honey one) and Bloody Mary = perfection

Annie Hung: A delightful mismatch of things -- Biggie Smalls blaring in a sleek, loungey space with delicious schmancy French dip sandwiches, mac n cheese...and top notch cocktails. Hey, why not?! It works!
Sean Geoghan: Outstanding French Dips and delicious cocktails. Fantastic service when we visited on a weekday evening. Jacob & team keep hitting the mark.

Kash Guha: I am a regular here, I recommend the Lychee Martinis, Chicken Cigars, Lamb Meatballs, Shepard Salad, and the Hummus. This is a great authentic Moroccan underground restaurant.
Lauren D: Romantic, underground. I saw a tip saying "blink and walk by the entrance" and it's true. Delicious drinks-got Keylime martini, Desert rose
dawn harris: Yes, it's cozy, and you get to spend time in a romantic bunker (space is below ground), but the great food & cocktails are worth coming back for; try the Chicken saffron briouates & the date tart!

Javier Perez-Karam: Pastas are great!! Cocktail are awesome. The burger is tasty, but the bun makes it hard to it because it's not soft bread is more like a chewy brioche. Anyway, if You are in good company it's awesome!
John E: The Smith makes a mean burger and has excellent cocktails. One of many locations in the city, but this one is perfect for grabbing a bite before catching a movie at the Lincoln Square movie theater.
Rob Murcek: Excellent service, great food and cocktails (albeit pricey), a decent beer list, and a nice location. Outdoor tables on Broadway and a trendy indoor section that is fun but can get a bit loud.
