The food here is hands down excellent. The Gorgonzola bread (surprisingly delicious), cheeseburger and Branzino were excellent. I don’t see that they have the calamari dish anymore but that was also amazing. Great cocktails and nice to have another fantastic restaurant on the UES. I personally don’t like sweets but their desserts here were a crowd favorite. Would go back - Susan Catherine
