    This was our first time here, but we will definitely be back. The food is creative and so delicious. We shared all our plates, and nothing was disappointing. We loved the root vegetable salad with tahini sauce, the pork shoulder with rutabaga gratin was amazing, and the confit chicken was so tender but not greasy. The prices are very reasonable, portion sizes are appropriate for one or to share. The bar had some amazing wines from Hungary and Slovenia. They have good NA options as well, from NA beer to a really yummy NA cocktail made with grapefruit. We definitely will recommend this place. I will highly recommend you get reservations.

    One of the best meals we’ve had (and we are talking Philly and NY) in ages. Beautiful room with exquisite lighting, terrific server (James) and delicious meal (Sicilian meatballs with chickpeas, couscous and preserved lemon; polenta cake). Can’t wait to return.

    This is a must try! Don’t walk run! They are truly showing you how to create an elevated affordable experience with a very kind staff who makes you feel like a regular the moment you walk in the door. Can’t wait to come back, wonder what the menu will be!
