ᴡ ElliotNovember 12, 2015Great spot for a glass of wine, or wine and appetizers. We went in around 5:30 and had no problem getting a table - but the bar area was already full, per usual.
Andrew WeiserMay 10, 2017The Patty Melt: grass-fed beef ground in-house; sharp cheddar nicely melted; onions cooked to an extra-dark, and pickles (from cucumbers grown on the roof of the restaurant) make an impression.
Masha KacedanAugust 18, 2016Really good food menu, and happy hour oysters. However the cocktails are overprice (around $14). T all drinks are free and the technics used are not very modern (muddle old-fashioned)
Elsa HOctober 9, 2015Oysters all night long! Delicious and $1 only. Love the vibe of this place, and West Village in general. Read some poems on the wall while you're at it :)- Lindsay CMarch 9, 2015Down a few steps resides this cozy yet spacious restaurant, where you'll dine on seasonal, local dishes like roasted chicken and the restaurant's signature burger.
- amNewYorkOctober 29, 2013For a Halloween buzz, grab the Day of the Dead. Mezcal, dry vermouth, sweet vermouth and Mexican mole bitters make up this Manhattan. Shaved dark chocolate floats on top for an added treat. $14.
Serious EatsNovember 4, 2013Seasonal and local cooking with an emphasis on good produce. We're big fans of the vegetarian French onion soup.- amNewYorkSeptember 27, 2011Every Tuesday, executive chef John Mooney serves a special entree of crispy soft-shell crab with basil and fennel — grown in his aeroponic rooftop garden — along with grapefruit and hazelnuts.
- Charming, cozy hideaway for a low-key cocktail or a quiet-ish dinner through the winter months. Great bartenders.
Rachel PortMarch 25, 2014Best grilled cheese I've ever had in my life, and I've had my FAIR share of grilled cheeses. I would eat here every week if I was closer.
Jen DMay 21, 2017Excellent wine for happy hour. Great low key spot with a large restaurant space in back
Keith McKenzieJanuary 21, 2015Try to snag the back (and fairly well hidden) room if it's available if you have a small group of friends.
Veronica HApril 26, 2013Cozy digs. Homemade buratta and the clams made excellent snacks. Order the salmon over charred cauliflower medium rare
Stribling & AssociatesMay 11, 2012Call well in advance to reserve the Naked Lady Room, a private dining room behind a fake wall. With space for up to 6 people, it features exposed brick, a big chandelier & naked lady wallpaper.
Ilia MMay 9, 2014Fun place. Comfortable booths for groups of various sizes. A bit loud, but pretty tasty and overall pretty good.
Jeremy JacobowitzOctober 8, 2014Really interesting cocktails and nice beer selection. Good for dates! Never felt too crowded, but had a good crowd.
Katherine M.June 5, 2014Recommended by my friend Sophia R., who lives in the neighborhood and would certainly know. She says "It's the only place in the Village that hasn't been discovered yet."
Princess Abigail BacaniJanuary 23, 2013On Valentines Day, ask for The Naked Lady Room, a sexy secret room behind a fake wall right off the bar in the main dining room. The secluded table seats 2-6 and features naked lady wallpaper.
Wesley AuYeungJuly 4, 2019$1 Oysters + Amazing Vibes! Chat with Kelly if you get the chance! She's awesome!!- E MarSeptember 11, 2014Hard to see from the street, but it's downstairs and the sign is small. Don't miss it!
IrmaZandl ZandlSlantSeptember 20, 2014FUN happy hour spot. Great charcuterie and cheese platters and good wine list.
Patrick BaskinSeptember 28, 2014Decent cocktails, cozy for a table, upbeat for a bar, best of both worlds
A cool spot, great service, great food and the cocktails are awesome.
Phil the heat. Also happy hour M-F with $1 oysters and $2 off cocktails.
Lance LacoffFebruary 9, 2016Went with the burrata then hanger steak. Good service. Left very pleased.
Jason HirschhornNovember 18, 2011Great food. Try fresh baked pretzels. Grilled veggies. Short ribs. And the the place is filled with beautiful women.
Jessica VaughnJanuary 7, 2011Delicious meal. Try the pop corn panna cotta for dessert. Sounds a little strange, but its perfect. Light and not too sweet.
Jennifer EastonJuly 9, 2011Try the chicken with asparagus and top it off with it's homemade root beer float, they're amazing!
Vino50: Grape American Road TripMarch 18, 2013Try the Grilled Cheese Sandwich - With raclete cheese, truffle oil and farm fresh egg. Whoa.
Clayton SchmidtApril 2, 2011Booths are great. Steak is small Get the pretzels monkfish or chicken and peanut butter ice cream sandwich.
- Colleen HofmannJune 14, 2012The ambiance here is fabulous. Try the fried oysters and the house-made burrata!
Lisa MastroianniDecember 9, 2010Here on opening night and the chilie is superb, steak tar tar is a must-share and ambience is fabulous
Aarthi D.August 16, 2013House white is pretty good but the standout is the moscato. Not too sweet but not too dry.
CharlottesOctober 4, 2016An utterly forgettable meal in an empty restaurant. They ran out of the wine we ordered and the waitress read tasting notes when we inquired about other options. A real disappointment.
Alma A.June 25, 2011Ask for the private room. It will give remedy the volume at the bar. It's also very cozy.
Kayleigh HarringtonAugust 10, 2014They have a basil watermelon cocktail that's delicious. Prefer it for drinks. Dinner was good but the drinks are better.
