My visits, since moving out of NYC, are infrequent, but always exceed my expectations. I never feel rushed, and always love the friendly vibe of the staff. Tonight I was celebrating a friends birthday and my daughter, who lives inthe neighborhood was walking by from her apartment. I encouraged she and her boyfriend to stop by for a holiday hug. Since the table next to us wasn't scheduled until a half hour later they were able to join us for a libation and family visit. The staff handled our unplanned visit with enthusiasm and grace. Thank you again for another memorable evening.

Nice, quiet brunch spot. Mussels and French onion soup were fabulous. The breakfast American was just ok. Bacon was too thick and double-fried. No bread with eggs which I would have liked. Would return, however. Very pretty and bright interior.

We had a delightful, delicious meal last night. Everything thing was perfect from start to finish! If possible, it would be helpful to have some type of light in the entryway as it's very dark. It was hard to tell if there was one step or two in the darkness. There are two small steps up to the restaurant door.
