This is usually where I'll go between lunch and dinner, just to hang out and relax. I always get just a soup or salad and am never disappointed. I like to fit it in somehow because I usually only get...

We went here with clients for work a couple years ago (I didn't belong to Yelp back then). This place is really cool, set in one of those small neighborhood buildings that NY is known for. The food...

giving 3 stars feels a little harsh for what i remember as a very good meal. however, there were a few things that brought the rating down. one of the wine glasses had a big crack (the glass was...

I've been here twice now, and it's been a great experience each time. The first time it was crowded with a wait of about 30-45 minutes. It's okay - they have a full service bar staffed with friendly...

This place is too good to be in the "student ghetto." Yes, it is way overpriced. But sometimes you just gotta break down and break out the big bills. This is one of those rare places. The service is...

I can't say enough about this restaurant. It has the BEST selection of tap beer, wine and unique food. I would suggest that if you want a table for dinner that you go early because the place fills up quickly -...

Convenient location. Service and food are consistently good!! The wine list has a reasonable offering, but could be updated more frequently (vintages noted are often unavailable).
