Solid spot near Washington Square Park. It has indoor and outdoor seating and it’s perfect for dates. The food was also good. I had the branzino and it came with a ton of veggies. The mussels were also great! The rest of our table also liked the pasta and salmon. Lots of healthy options! - Martina Ruseva
