Leave a ReviewGreat little casual spot for dinner. The Good for small groups.
Loooove this place. Perfect combination of casual and fancy, loooove the food... looooove the staffs... Perfect almost for every scenario. You don't want to be at the bar but want to have a drink alone? Perfect place to sit at the counter, the bartender makes you feel at home, maybe because of him, there are lots of solo customers who want to sit there, drink and read...I think it's also perfect place to have a semi private dining on mezzanine, I've never been up there but I see groups there all the time. The servers are super friendly and super helpful. This place is 3 blocks from Union square. If you're local, you probably already know. If you're tourists, never settle with whatever close to you, you won't regret for walking 3 blocks!
See moreHad a great experience with friends. Everyone had great food, whether it was the fried chicken, the lamb chops, or a salad. The best part though was the service with Alan. He was personable and wasn't afraid to banter with the table. 10/10 will definitely be back!
