- VVincentNew York City •12 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoNever had dinner here, so I decided to try it with brunch. Didn't disappoint. Parsnip soup is flavorful and rich and warms me up just right. I ordered the mushroom benedict with a side of sausage links. My partner picked the happy valley beef cheeks with pasta. I love the flavors and portions of our order. Service is attentive. I look forward to the culinary adventure here with my next dinner!More infoFork - PhiladelphiaPrice: Expensive• Contemporary American• Old City•4.8

Food was good but couple of improvements to be made- such as branzino was over salted and bit too much dressing on the crab salad.
