Our meal starting with Gabe's signature brussel sprouts dish and then our entree of tonight's special, Berkshire Pork Chop with Gabe's peach chutney was pure genius

This place is a must go to place. Everything was absolutely delicious and the service was excellent. It’s a small place that’s reminiscent of places I’ve been to in SoHo. We didn’t have room for dessert so we took it to go. The key lime pie and peanut butter cheesecake the day after was perfection.

This is a fantastic little restaurant. The food was fantastic and they had great cocktails. I have food allergies and they were very accommodating, plus the menu is well marked. Our server was great and the atmosphere was very nice. Heading there again soon!

The food and drinks were very, very good, but everything else was shockingly bad: It was very hard to find a place to park. Every time the door opened we were hit with a blast of cold air. It was very loud in the dining room. The service was horrible. We spent more time waiting than ordering/eating. Our server walked right past us many times while we were clearly waiting for her. Our table had no silverware/napkins when we were seated. When our salads were brought out we still didn't. We had to ask for silverware. The server we asked didn't hear us at first because he had earbuds in. Our silverware was taken with the salad dishes and not replaced. We had to ask for silverware again after our entrees were brought out. We saw servers drop things on the floor and then just leave them there. It was actually comically bad.

Lovely ambiance. Highly recommended to us so we were eager to go. We got there on an off night however. Both entrees were brought to us missing key ingredients (asparagus on one, shrimp on the other). Server was apologetic and then brought out the missing ingredients on separate small plates. The entrees were discounted by the manager but then my credit card was charged for another table's check (their bill was >$100 over ours). The mistake was promptly corrected but it was a fitting ending to our error-filled night. It is a meal we will long remember but not for the right reasons. Hopefully an aberration. Other reviews look great.
