I loved this place! Starting with the atmosphere - it is such a homey, cozy vibe and a perfect place for a date, catch up, or to take folks from out of town.

The wine list was extensive and very delicious. All the natural wines were incredible and I’d recommend getting one of them!

The food was seriously the dark horse for me. My friend selected this spot and recommended it for its wines. But the food was such a show stopper.

The warm olives were absolutely incredible with a light and fluffy foccacia

The brassicas were so well seasoned, charred, and balanced

The branzinos skin was so crispy with a delicious and balanced tomatoey, buttery, bright sauce.

We also had the prosciutto and melon what a delight.

Overall the food portions are larger than you’d expect and the value at this place is incredible.

I will be back!!

Delicious and cheap food. I saw it on tiktok and this place did not disappoint. The chicken was super tender and crispy and the beans with the rice do fill you up. I wish I could’ve tried their falafel but they were out when I went.

Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area!

I’ve been wanting to come here for over 2 years. Ever since I moved to NYC all I could imagine was having dinner here with the views of the city and elegant food. The food did not disappoint. It was delicious and absolutely well done. The beef short rib app was such a dark horse pick. Super tender and flavorful and quite creative. The milk bread is a must. It’s so flaky, soft, and freshly baked.

We both got the chicken which was super tender, crispy skin, and the veggies were so well roasted.

My dirty martini was not very dirty unfortunately, apparently you should say extra dirty here if you want it to taste like olives and they didn’t give me blue cheese olives like I asked for unfortunately.

I loved that this comes with a free entry to the edge which is normally $40 just to view and you don’t have to wait in lines for this. Definitely worth a celebration or anniversary dinner!

This was a nice hole in the wall. I’d describe it as better than Taco Bell for value and the flavors are way better too. I had the 1A super with hot chili sauce. The chili sauce really brings out the flavor.

A great brunch spot in Nolita. We had seats in their outside cabins which fit up to 8 people. The staff was very friendly and attentive. Almost all of us ordered the chicken schnitzel sandwich which was one of the best fried chicken sandwiches I’ve had. The Israeli pickles with the sesame crusted chicken and zhugg was incredible. It also comes with fries that are nice and crispy.

Some folks also got the harissa burger which was tender and juicy!
