Sergey Morozov: Get steak! Pasture raised meat that's aged 40 days. It's one of the most tender and flavourful steaks I've ever had. If you like steak get the largest piece as everyone in your party will want a bite!
Gianna Nebbia: This prosciutto di Parma Benedict is the best single brunch item I’ve ever had. Pappardelle with oxtail ragu was also very very good.
Dan Sohayda: Good brunch selection with plenty of cocktails available too. No crowd at all for brunch on a Saturday which seemed odd for how good it was. Take advantage before it gets found out!
