We are a restaurant from Chef Albert DiMeglio known from Barano and Rubirosa, that simply wants to be your neighborhood kitchen. A place where everybody knows your name and serves you a thoughtful menu of exactly what you want, and let’s be honest, what you need. We love to do it in a buttoned up, polished way, with lets say… our hair down!

We want to be there for your first dates, family gatherings, business dinners, great parties from 20 to 100, or just that craft cocktail you needed at the end of your day.

Happy to be recognized as Newsday's Feed Me top 100 and Long Island Herald's choice awards finalist.

Excellent food, service and atmosphere. We truly enjoyed the spinach and butternut squash salad. Food was served quickly and waitress checked on us to see if we were fine. We definitely enjoyed.

1st time here with another couple and we were disappointed. Our waitress seemed like she couldn’t be bothered and didn’t want to be there but her counterpart Alex who did come over was so pleasant, funny and kind. We were hoping he would be our main server but he wasn’t. The spinach artichoke flatbread app was burning hot like it just came out of a microwave and was not good. For dinner I had the brick chicken dish which was very good but a little dry at the end. My husband and brother in law got the chicken sandwich which was tasty but dry. My sister got the Caesar salad with chicken which was not very big and unfortunately the dressing was bland. We shared the warm chocolate chip cookies for dessert which were good but needed to be heated up a little longer since cold in the middle. It is also on the pricey side with limited choices for us so if spending that type of money we would choose to go elsewhere. Maybe it was an off night but since our first time we wouldn’t return.

Top notch in every way, food, drinks, desserts, staff kind, professional, knowledgeable. My boyfriend & I ordered as appetizer- " pigs in a blanket" The hot dog was so beyond tasty, the puff pastry was light & flavorful with everything seasoning! The waiter told us the hot dogs are flown in from Chicago as the Chef was there & tasted the hot dogs & well drop the microphone! Delicious! Next level, as each dish from Dinner, lunch & brunch! My Gin cocktail the Claw, yummy! Everything is fresh, cooked to perfection, cocktails are interesting & yummy...Highly recommend for any meal- any time! If I needed a venue for a small to mid -size party, I would choose without hesitation! Great location for me as I don't live far from it, and accessible from parkways . Look foward to summer outdoor eating !

Service was absolute horrible. We got seated at 715 and waiting at least 20 minutes for a drink. Our food didn’t come out for 45 minutes we ended up leaving. The service was the worst I’ve ever experienced

Great GF choices - more than half of the menu is or can be made GF. My husband and I went for restaurant week. We ordered all GF . Everything was very good and we particularly enjoyed the butternut squash apple risotto and the chocolate cake. Good wine by the glass selection. Excellent service. Comfy atmosphere. Ample portions - we took home enough for both our next day lunches.
