Everything was phenomenal, but for reasons that are unclear we were seated out of the main dining room at noon on a Monday. Very minor issue (because it was near a chilly atrium in December) that in no way detracted from superb food and service.

This place is an absolute must— over and over again! I went with friends for a few apps… not realizing we should have brought a greater appetite! The service was outstanding- our waiter was attentive, knowledgeable and made great recommendations. The food was truly memorable, especially the fried artichokes, which were masterfully accompanied by an incredible lemon aioli, and the grilled octopus, which was tender and full of flavor. The bufalo burrata was fresh, creamy and just delicious— and the Romain style pizza was perfection. This will be a regular on the restaurant rotation, for its service and incredible menu— that I’ll be looking forward to trying one of everything!

We went at an off hour (2 PM) so got stuck between shifts. We lost our waiter halfway through the service. On the plus side we were able to speak with the chef. All of the food was fresh and inventive and locally sourced when possible (Shinnecock Bay scallops). This is a gastropub so expect elevated food in casual but cozy surroundings.
