Very much enjoyed our evening. Great views and good food in the heart of Dumbo. Waterfront views if NYC, Brooklyn Bridge and Williamsburg Bridge. The whipped ricotta appetizer was excellent! Pizzas and pastas were all very good as well.

Seated right away. It was decorated very nice for the holidays. Many choices on the menu to choose from. Our food was excellent including a side of meatballs that were sooooo good. I made an additional reservation while there to go between Christmas and New Years with additional family members to gather during the holidays. Looking forward to going back .

We went for Thanksgiving dinner. Disappointed that it was 'deli' turkey, and not carved off the bird. Also disappointed with the little dollop of whipped cream on the pumpkin pie. The sides were delicious, especially the mashed potatoes. I also enjoyed the seasonal drink - Midnight Harvest. Our server Matt was the best.
