Melissa StruettSeptember 23, 2010Employees only is a trendy hot spot. Make sure you stop and have your Tarot Cards read before you try one of their signature cocktails. I think they coined the phrase "Mixologist"
Lucas FeijóSeptember 14, 2017Went for the drinks, came back twice for the extremely high quality cuisine.
Kathryn DJuly 26, 2017Mentally prepare to handle a crowd. Ginger smash is worth wearing heels to get.
Steak tartar... A dude comes to your table and amazing comes out of his magic
Once good but since Robert, Ray left and were replaced by a bouncer who preferred non POC guests, no longer an equitable place to get a great drink. Save your money.
Great bartenders! It can get pretty packed so get there close to 6pm when it opens to score a spot at the bar. The 'Amelía' is delicious Read more
Some of the coolest bartenders around. Ask them to think up a cocktail for you based on your liquor of preference -- you'll be pleasantly surprised.
tuesdays with Rob and Bratislava bartending, Tom Collins or a Manhattan and Steak Tartare are the best!
Food & WineApril 20, 2011This bartender-owned supper club was originally intended to be a late-night gathering spot for fellow bar and restaurant workers.
Jesse SchneiderMay 1, 2013Order a "Don't tell babo" and the rainbow trout. You won't be disappointed.

"Dim sum is unreal. Ideal meal is crab and pork soup dumplings, Katz pastrami egg roll, BBQ pork belly, and pan fried spicy pork buns. You'll pay twice the price of Chinatown and it'll be worth it."

"#FabuLIST #DubiDO if I had to rank the pastas #1 spaghetti #2 garganelli, #3 pici, #4 bucatini. For appetizers get the ricotta special and roasted mushrooms. For wine we loved the Dezzi"

"Most underrated brunch spot. You'll easily get a table 12-1. love the $5 champagne or breakfast negroni. Get Scottish eggs, waffle for the table and the kale salad (trust me on the salad)"
