  • "Roast chicken was bland + kale and quinoa were far overcooked to a near mush 4/10."

Cons:

  • "The service was pretty terrible too."

  • "Pricing in my opinion seemed a tad steep, but since everything we ordered was pretty quality, it was overall worth it."
  • "The drinks are just a little expensive. 6 dollars for gingerale and 15 for mimosa."
  • "I had the linguine with clams and I wasn't impressed. It was way too garlick-y and for ny standards really small."
  • "The $20/plate burger and pasta dishes we ordered were nothing to write home about and we'd definitely made better food ourselves."
  • "It was okay, nothing life changing."
