The whole branzino was flawless, grilled simply and finished with lemon and olive oil. Warm, attentive service and a lively room. Our new favorite spot in Midtown East.
We hosted a client dinner for twelve and the team handled everything, from the tailored menu to the wine pairings. Polished, elegant and effortless. We will be back for the holidays.
Oysters and crudo to start, the dry-aged strip for me and lobster pasta for her, then baklava to share. The perfect pre-theater dinner, and they had us out on time.
