"A gently romantic but upbeat neighborhood spot with reasonable prices and simple (in the good way) and tasty food."

"Calamari was cold and not crispy, underseasoned. Scallops were not seared at all, almost seamed raw and underseasoned as well. Beignet eggplants ok but nothing special."

"Went with a group of 8 for a birthday dinner. The menu was well priced and everything we tried was amazing. I'd go back again and again for the mussels and fries! Our server was so friendly and attentive. She may have been one of the highlights of our meal. I'd definitely recommend this as a go to neighborhood spot."

"The place was okay nothing special. Far better places in NYC to spend your money and get better tasting food. The pizza was terrible and taste like cardboard. We were looking forward to it and then were highly disappointed."

"The front door of the restaurant does not close. It was very cold outside and every time one of the customers would get up to close the door. The staff was friendly. Before we went I checked out menu pages for the menu, but the menu was not the same anymore. They took out a lot of items from the menu. I ordered veal, which suppose to be toped with sauce and mushrooms. The veal was paper thin dry and there was no mushrooms at all. This dish came with greens salad. It would be very helpful if waitress would ask if I want any side dish to go with veal. My husband ordered salmon. Salmon was good and it came on top of salad. Overall it was OK, but would not go again"

"We were very pleased. An enjoyable pre-theater dinner at very reasonable prices. Only minor gripe is that very cold air permeated the dining area, so perhaps something can be done about the front door/air coming in."

"I was looking for a nice wine bar to meet up with a friend for Happy Hour. This place had many positive reviews online. I made a reservation for 6PM on a Friday. I was surprised by how empty the bar was when I first arrived, but by 7PM the place was full. We ordered a carafe of wine and several tapas to split. The food was very good, but the house wine selections were limited. I would recommend ordering a wine off the menu. You will pay more, but it is worth it. The service was attentive and quick. I will definitely be back again!"

"Found this place thanks to OpenTable. Had a late dinner here, and tried the ten-plates Mediterranean meal - great deal of $20 per person - plus a pasta bolognese. Had a carafe, of course, of red wine, and was pleasantly surprised to get the citrusy vodka shots at the end of our dinner."
