“there was so much oil and fat that the pasta was sticking together in a gloopy way (not overcooked). I couldn’t finish it and I’m a proud carb fiend. We both had upset stomachs the next day because the food was so heavy. No desire to return.”

“Over salted , over fatty, and over hyped. The onion tart was like eating a tick of butter. My crab pasta came undercooked. Don’t believe the Instagram hype”

“I’ve had it, it’s the best steak I’ve ever had in 20 years in NYC, and I’ve been to many steak house. The strip part of the steak was super tender and the filet part was marbled and very flavorful, much more that you’d expect for filet.”

“Pastas were mid, steak didn't have any character and the steak and just all the dishes in general just gave the impression there was no wood fire in the kitchen despite staring at it the whole time. Just a huge let down to see such potential not be utilized really at all.”

“Everything was oily and heavy, pasta was mid, and the steak weirdly tasted like it had been cooked in coconut oil - we couldn’t even finish it.”
