Came for a girls brunch and loved the overall ambiance. The restaurant is in a hotel so it's easily overlooked. The drinks were very strong (which I am not complaining about at all). Service was great and we'd def return or maybe try their dinner options.
Came last night for restaurant week with friends and we were all very happy with our meals. The mushroom flatbread was delicious and could've been a meal in itself! The pappardelle with short ribs was also very tasty although it could've used a bit more meat. The crème brûlée was outstanding! The place is very pretty inside and our server, David was great!
Very nice spot hidden in an apartment complex. The brunch was delicious. Very tasty Bellinis with a bottomless option for $45. Stack of pancakes was not only gorgeous but very fluffy and tasty. Shrimp were cooked perfectly and grits very super smooth. Chicken and waffles were the perfect example of comfort food. The French toast was a bit soggy, the manager was kind enough to replace it with an even bigger portion; bruleed banana was a nice touch. Great spinach artichoke dip- however the veggie sides need much better knife skills. Overall , great meal . Will definitely be back.
Really enjoyed this restaurant! The complimentary bread was served soft with a butter and olive oil mix. The cocktails are good, I got the lavender margarita and my husband got an old fashioned. I wasn't that impressed with the wine list. The wines are expensive and mostly only from California or Long Island. The skirt steak was very good and well cooked. We split that and the mushroom truffle flatbread, which was great. The Brussel sprouts were sweet and drowned in honey. Would have appreciated if they were a little spicy but they were still good. For dessert we tried the cookie skillet which we really enjoyed. The indoor dining is really comfortable, we were in a booth. Service was friendly. Easy parking. Recommend especially if you are in the Garden City area looking for a nice date night spot!
A gorgeous luxury apartment/hotel building, truly beautiful especially when you walk inside. Super duper clean, quiet, and the restaurant is straight ahead when you walk in. The bartender and waiter were both very friendly and attentive. We came here for restaurant week, $44 3 course menu. The bread was AMAZING. It was warm and it came with olive oil, perfection. Literally all the food we tried was delicious. I would love to come back here and try the regular menu.
Our friends recommended this place after their one random date. Since then, they have been back a few times with other friends. This time, my husband and I finally got time to stop by for some drinks. The bartender Jack is a wizard, let's just say. We were truly amazed at his craft! We tried a few specials that our friends recommended, and they were tasty like the lemon drop. I gave Jack free reign to make me something as long as it's not vodka. One of those was the passion fruit bourbon smash? I forgot the name but it was delicious!! Also, he made me his version of a pisco sour. Yum. Oh, i missed a good pisco sour. It was comparable to some good ones down in Miami. It's been so long since I had really good cocktails, and he didn't skimp out on the alcohol ( a lot of places do when they see it's a female). So, 10 stars, for Jack and the scene. The -1 star is for the food. I tried the salmon tartare, wild mushroom flatbread, and Cinco de mayo nachos. The flatbread was delicious, but everything else needed a lot more flavor. It needed salt, especially for anyone drinking. The creme brulee was grainy and wasn't smooth. I would just stick to the drinks and flatbread. Overall, I can't wait to be back and let Jack bring out his creative side once again!
