Leave a ReviewGreat menu, large inviting space, attentive but friendly service. Lots of appealing dishes and it’s good to go with a bigger group to try more variety. We had the crudo trio, bread basket, greens and grains salad, oxtail biryani, sea bass, and greens. All delicious and a lot of new flavors or combinations I hadn’t tried before, but all really accessible and delicious for every palate.
See moreWOW! This place absolutely blew my group away. Such delicious, interesting flavors in these creative dishes. We absolutely loved the bread basket, crudo trio, curry goat gyoza, and Addis York. Great cocktails as well. I didn't really know what to make of the African and Northern European-inflected menu beforehand, but it was stellar. Highly recommend!
See moreMagnificent meal and immaculate setting. The menu was unforgettable and flavors were surprising plus curated to perfection. The service also replicated the love of the food, and I felt very cared for when our server Alexander took the time to carefully answer all our questions and even sent sparklers to our table with dessert as a celebration. From the moment we walked in, we were seated with smiles and staff came often to remove items from our table as well as clean our table which was very helpful and attentive. Ambience is top tier due to the mood lighting, artistic light fixtures and mermaid decor, and it gave private and elegant even as customers started gathering. Also want to highlight the gender neutral bathrooms. Fantastic, impeccable, marvelous. Thank you Alexander for welcoming my party into the experience.
