Its a lovely place for a date. Food was amazing. I liked their special butternut squash soup. Chicken Kebabs were juicy and grilled to perfection. Flourless chipotle chocolate cake is one of its kind here. I will visit here again to explore more.

We had a late lunch/early dinner here. It wasn’t packed so we just walked in and got a seat wherever we liked. Their steak sandwich and fries were really good. Everything was cooked to perfection and well seasoned. The cocktails were pretty amazing too! We loved our dining experience. Very nice servers as well! Would definitely be coming back! Highly recommend.

We did walk-up seating on a Sunday and only had to wait in line about 10-15 minutes before we were seated at a community table. Everyone working there is so friendly and fun! The food is amazing and my whole party loved what we each ordered. I got the Mediterranean breakfast, probably one of the more plain options, but I've caught myself thinking about the chopped salad and labne several times in the last few weeks. I'm keeping this specific location on my list of places to return next time I'm in NYC!

We had lunch here on a Monday afternoon. It's right on space, like a European cafe, but the food and drinks are good. I had a Madame Freda, a take on the common french Croque Madame, but made with duck. It was fantastic, and was served with a salad or fries (I chose fries, which were very good). My son had a BLT made with duck bacon, which he also liked very much (though he preferred my dish). My wife chose the Mediterranean Breakfast, which includes poached eggs, avocado, and a light yogurt. She was pleased, just as she was with her Cantaloupe Mimosa. It's not cheap, but not overly expensive by NYC standards. The staff was attentive, though there was a mistake on our bill that was likely due to a switch to a new waiter after ordering. It was corrected, of course. I'd surely go again, though I'd probably shoot for a less crowded time of day than noon.

I loved the spot! The service was really nice, I loved the food. The only problem was the music inside - a little bit too loud. I couldn’t hear my friend. Would definitely come back to try cocktails

We went there on our last day of our NYC stay. Cute place, great food. I was especially surprised by the steak breakfast - damn that was yummie. Also the cheesecake with a non traditional spice was great. We enjoyed our stay. There are probably 2 things I would change - it's quite loud inside. And I would offer more toasted bread with the breakfast dishes ;) But beside that just a nice place

I LOVED THIS PLACE! Came the last time I visit NYC with my mom and she loved it. And I had to come back this year too. The staff is friendly, the food is SO good! And it’s a nice place. The Chelsea location is really loud and busy but I would recommend to go to the one in Soho. The tuna salad and the fried zucchini 10/10!

Super cute and well lit decor with a great brunch vibe and menu! Came here with some coworkers and were promptly seated in a large booth by the window. Our server was super gracious and sweet, huge fan of her, along with the assortment of dishes we got for the table to share. Would definitely come back again for good food at a decent price!

I ordered their poached eggs with halloum and dried tomatoes and i would definitely order it again. It was fulfilling, tasteful, and the perfect portion size for breakfast. They have a variety of food but i wish their breakfast section had more options. Their staff is very attentive, quick, and friendly. The atmosphere was nice. Its a big place with lots of seating areas.

Really solid brunch place. Great atmosphere for quite literally any occasion. Outdoor and indoor seating is beautiful. Food was so well cooked and seasoned and love the mediterranean inspired flavors. I highly highly recommend the zucchini fritters!! The staff were beyond kind. In terms of comparing it to other brunch places in the city, the food and prices aren’t that insanely different. But I will say, the atmosphere and space does make it unique!!
