Go for the drinks. The and the are what people order, and there's a $10 and hour from 3 to 5 that regulars say is the whole reason to time your visit. Most people say the food is forgettable and expensive, so have a snack here and eat dinner elsewhere.

  • 'Martini hour' is short and early, but you can have a DELICIOUS ten dollar Dante martini in their beyootiful west village location if you time it right. However the rest of the menu is mad expensive and not that interesting, so as a guy who came to read and chill, I probably wouldn't come again.

  • Unplanned visit, absolutely loved my Fluffy Margarita Royale and the Garibaldi is perfection. Didn’t care for the focaccia but that panna cotta with strawberries and 18 year balsamic was the perfect end to the night. World class cocktail bar for sure!
