Adya Sinha: Grilled salmon, baked sole. Yum.
J.R. Reed: Grilled chicken is an outstanding dinner dish - sauce amazing and potatoes cooked perfectly; salmon, grilled tuna burger, and the steak frites are other notable winners. A must try for brunch as well
Giulia M: 3 course prix fixe dinner is the BEST deal ($35) - Burrata toast, frisée salad, steak frites, tagliatelle, chocolate torte, banana trifle

Kat: Had an amazing outdoors dinner date here during COVID. The cacio e pepe was fantastic, as was a raspberry dessert. We also had burrata, artichokes and a great grilled fish dish. Service was stellar.
Gus Borrmann: Fried Rabbit and the Steak (burger). Try to seat outside and enjoy the lively street.
Eater: Fried rabbit, crispy artichokes, and fresh fruit are on the menu at this new restaurant from the West Village power couple. It's sort of a French bar meets an Italian country home. Read more.

Paul Lomax: Controversially, I didn't actually enjoy the Brisket Sandwich. However, I loved everything on the 'raw bar' menu! Great grilled fish (Skate) too, and a good wine list (esp the Santorini).
Jared Milano: The bathroom is one of the best I've seen.. if you come on a date and want to ditch, just go to the "WC" and climb up the ladder and out the window.
Ghostly International: Stumptown Coffee for $1, can't be beat. If you come for brunch, try the Sausage, Egg, and Cheese biscuit. Full size sausage patty, moist biscuit.

Eater: The menu features East Coast seafood favorites. Look for cherrystone clams stuffed with pancetta, roasted Brussels sprouts with bacon and peanuts, fried rice with seafood and pork belly.
Tasting Table: The restaurant's soft lighting, reflect off a gorgeous arched tiled ceiling, as you twirl strands of linguine studded with tomato sauce and clams ($21). Try their awesome appetizers too. Read more.
Noah Weiss: Brunch is great. Get the poached eggs with peekytoe crab over fresh biscuits. Bonus: takes reservations.
