The food is just awful. Cafeteria level. Not as described, unevenly cooked and cold in spots, and took 25 minutes to come out. The house pasta was macaroni with a hint of tomato and a ton of cheese. Inedible. The jazz band was nice, but I can't return due to the offense on my taste buds. The staff was nice, so they get an extra star for that.

Came here on early afternoon and let me tell you - loved every second of it! The food was yummy and the drinks to go - ha fabulous!!!My family and I all had the Acai Bowls. So delicious would order that again and again! And I had the avocado toast also so good! Would I come again absolutely and do I secretly not want to tell anyone I know and gate keep it I do but that’s not fair!

Very nice bar / restaurant . There was a DJ and had a very warm decoration. You order at the bar and bring your own plates. If you are vegan it has options !!!

Excellent neighbour space and bar!! You can come sit here in the afternoon and work here with a coffee or go have a nice drink in the Evening. Both the coffee and alcohol is pretty nice and the staff too. They have happy hours too from 3-7pm. Quite busy on weekends but a good place to chill with friends. It's near Columbia University so at day time one can expect a lot of students working here. Do visit if you are in this part of town

Trendy but unpretentious bar. Menu has something for everyone, including vegans. Crowd is diverse and friendly. A neighborhood bar with extra.
