What to Order
Chicken
This chicken dish is celebrated for its perfect cooking, juicy texture, and rich flavor, often highlighted as superior to other well-known establishments.

Eileen Kim

A pasta dish featuring clams, praised for its amazing flavor profile with earthy tones and fresh herbs.

Nicole Panacci
Steak Tartare

Inside Scoop
- Reservations for 2-3 guests are allotted a 2-hour seating window, but you might be asked to leave slightly before the full two hours.
- The restaurant can get uncomfortably warm due to the oven, so consider sitting outside in summer.
- The sticky toffee pudding is not a traditional sticky toffee pudding and has been a point of disappointment for some.
- Portion sizes can be small, especially for vegetarian diners, and there's limited vegetarian entree options.
- The atmosphere is serene and moody, making it a perfect spot for a date night.
