We had dinner before a concert and it was fantastic! Starters of oysters with champagne, bread service and curry clams; all delicious. The bread is so good, a must do. Mains of scallops for the wife person and the special of spicy bucatini with chorizo for me. Really tasty! Our server Matt was attentive and our hostess was fabulous. The joint was hopping and the two servers and staff were spot on. We sat at a high top and people and dog watched. Great pre show place for the 5th Avenue Theater. I highly recommend.

Loved the character of this place and the servers were both attentive and chill in the right amounts. Had a great brunch, everyone enjoyed their choices from the eggs benny, cinnamon French toast, waffles and open faced turkey melt. Coffee was strong and endless. Thank you for a great start to our day.
