Tyrone & Mishkia Lewis
The food is extremely lackluster. Had to return both items i ordered: 1) lobster benedict- 1st attempt by the chef was over cooked hard poached eggs, 2nd attempt was undercooked loose eggs, home fried were soggy and gummy. 2) lobster mac and cheese- $28 meal, very little lobster mixed into the mac n cheese, seemed more like lobster flavored mac and cheese (not worth it). French fries and steak and eggs were good. Overall, Would not recommend the restaurant.

Highly recommend this place whether you want to just hang at a bar, casually sit at some high tops or have a romantic dinner! Great happy hour with awesome drinks and food and great prices! The owners are great and Anthony makes you feel right at home. Can’t wait to go back!

Pretty decent spot but the quality of food has definitely gone down. They also added to the tip I originally left. They didn’t take much but I definitely will not be going back as they lost my trust. If you go, bring cash and don’t pay with your card.

Came here while visiting for dessert one night and came back for their amazing lunch deal. Everything we tried was amazing: shrimp wontons (photo), salmon tartare, lasagna, and more. Delicious wine and service too. Fantastic deals value, highly recommend!

This place nails it on all accounts- food is fantastic, drink options are abundant, and the vibe in the evening is fine dining but relaxed and unpretentious. One of the best spots in SoNo.

We went for our monthly book club brunch and were sorely disappointed. The service was awful, took them forever to acknowledge us and then they screwed up our orders because the person who took it wasn’t taking notes and there were six of us! The food was not great either, we go to a lot of brunches and this was by far the wort place we’ve ever been to.

Incredible New Years Eve menu. New chef has been here 3 months and has big plans for 2022. Great wine selection of course, and fantastic service. When in SoNo, don’t miss Public Wine Bar!

I have been to this establishment a handful of times but tonight was probably the worse experience I’ve experienced. My partner and I were celebrating our anniversary and decided to check out this place together. We decided to sit at the bar as we wanted some drinks with our dinner. I will definitely never be coming back again and it is all because of this young man bartender who also said was the manager. we sat at the bar for like 5 mins + and he didn’t even offer us a menu. We decided to get a table instead because we didn’t want to keep waiting any longer. While we were waiting for him to provide us service, he just kept walking in front of us and didn’t even pay any attention to us. He wasn’t serving other customers and it wasn’t crowded at all. So we are still confused as to why he didn’t even pay attention to us? He kept going up to other customers that he seemed to know. I’m not sure what his problem is but I’d definitely recommended the owner to reconsider a new bartender / manager if he even really is one.. never again coming back and definitely not recommended it to anybody. Good customer service is equally as important as good quality food.

This place is a hidden gem in the heart of SoNo, must visit. They have a really good selection of bourbon , and the bartender Andrew makes the best expresso martini in the state of CT. Apart from the remarkable selection of wine they also have great beer variety . Food is amazing over here , wild boar ragu , pork chops, and mussels are a must try

Good food. Small portions. But worth the price. Because of the venue. And staff. Great food. Overall. This was a great random find.
