★ 5★ 4★ 3★ 2★ 1Such an amazing experience! Love the variety of service options; Bar and Casual Dining or upstairs Formal Dining (where we were). There is even a special area on the top level that for up to 12 guests for special occasions. The food is unreal and has so much detail put in the the flavors of each entree. From the appetizers to the dessert they are something we will never forget and will come in town to come back to eat again. The chef has done a fabulous job with the menu and the ambience of the entire experience.
April 25 · Ashley AdamsCame for the Sunday brunch pancakes. But surprisingly the Brixton burger stole the whole show. It was juicy and delicious, the bun is crispy on the outside but still fluffy and soft on the inside. Pancakes are great. We also love the duck confit hash.
June 15 · Christine ChuangWhat a wonderful dinner! I want to come back to the bar for the burger and 11 dollar martinis. We had the entire upstairs dining room to ourselves for about an hour and it was quiet and lovely. We started with champagne and a blood orange spritz. Both were very nice and we moved on to a glass of the bordeaux. The salad was creamy and flavorful with a hint of spice. I wish they sold the dressing because it was fantastic and not something you find often. The steak tartare was perfection. The farfalle was delicate and the pesto was delicious with tomatoes that really added to the dish. The quail was almost like a sausage and it was nice as well, definitely different than what I expected but really yummy. And we finished with sticky toffee pudding that was very well balanced and not heavy handed with the butter or toffee. We also had a glass of Oremus dessert wine that paired well with the pudding because they were out of the Madeira. Loved loved loved this place.
June 15 · Tommy MartinezCame in with high hopes but largely left unimpressed.Service was attentive and the shining highlight; the food and atmosphere left much to be desired.Arrival was the first hiccup - took nearly 15 minutes to check in and required waiting outside given the small foyer. No reason or rationale was provided - perhaps because we were at opening?We were seated in the lower level, which was odd and empty. The bar was pumping music - perhaps appropriate for when fully occupied, but in a sparsely populated setting, it was overbearing and intrusive. No hand soap to be had in the bathroom - not a disaster but another fly in the increasingly distressed ointment.The food was hit or miss. The farafelle was delightful (albeit a tad too al dente for my liking) and the leek soup was a strong performer. The omelet (supposedly a star feature) was a complete and utter sad event. The Lobster was clearly not fresh, and the seasoning left you reaching for one’s water to allay the sodium content.The pancake was terrific although contrarily the crab benedict left much to be desired. The crème brûlée tart offered for desert is best skipped.You won’t be missing anything if you can’t attain a reservation here, and given the void that was downstairs, you should be able to walk in comfortably… at least for a Sunday brunch.
April 20 · KlentonWest Village vibes with comfortable interior design and cosy seating - it was mostly a great experience especially since we walked in and the food was delicious (pancakes are some of the best I’ve had) with two notes. Firstly, I wish they told us on entry that they were not doing the iconic tableside omelette service that day - we only found out after we had already ordered a coffee. Secondly, we were awkwardly placed between a group of 8 people that were split into two tables who proceed to speak and almost shout over our table. While they managed the table and eventually moved them together, they didn’t really apologize or do anything with us which made it somewhat of a subpar experience.
