questionable food quality and slow service
Sat. 5 nov, 2011. i ordered what was described as a pork tenderloin...i received a pork chop type meat not the tender darker loin meat. the meal was fine but not as advertised. My son ordered 'NY Strip' steak. a pricey $35 steak. what he received was unlike any NY STrip i've ever had. A poor quality cut of meat and very small with tough sinewed edges. when asked the mgmt took the steak off the bill but we would have preferred a top quality steak (he was hungry). the service was slow and I think the basis for the slow service may have been their bar services...slows down all both food service and drinks

Amazing design disapointing food
Does anyone know who designed this beautifully balanced space? Just beautiful! However the food is another story... Tiny dishes with very little flavor. (That only arrived after a long wait of 1 hour) service was ok but probably only to keep us busy and happy while the longest wait ever for the food. And btw, 3 of the items on the menu were not even available. Great potential thanks to a great atmosphere but needs tons of help with the food and service. I would go again just to check the design again...

Not recommended
Can't comment on food quality because my food did not arrive. I sat at the bar for 45 minutes and, despite the assurances of the courteous staff, my food order never showed up. Dining room was half full so it's not like the kitchen was slammed. All this place needs to be is average and it will do fine as there are no other restaurants on East End Ave. Won't return

Warm and inviting
I have been wanting to check this place out ever since I read about it on NY Mag...went with 5 friends on Friday night and we were all very pleased. The very best things were the Chicken and Beer, the Risotto and the Figs and Goat Cheese, they were outstanding! The brussel sprouts were borderline gross and the Burger while good had a ton of onions in it, if that is not your flavor you will not like it as our diner did not. The service is good in that everyone is really nice but their timing is not awesome. They kept recommended pairing food with a beverage and the beverage would come when the food was almost gone. Happened with dinner and dessert. Try the saffron ice cream! Overall it is a nice addition to the neighborhood and I will definitely go back!

Coming along nicely
It's been an uphill battle, but this place is coming along very well. Had dinner there last night. The appetizers were very good and the burger, which is now on the main restaurant menu, was wonderful. Service was good and certainly much better than it was when the place first opened. It's so nice to have a good neighborhood place where the food is good and the noise level is so conducive to conversation. Keep up the good work.

Disappointing Experience
The experience started out on a positive note. As the restaurant became crowded service slowed considerably. Our appetizer, though odd, was the best part of the meal (broccoli rabe and creme). The main courses were a great disappointment. The lamb shoulder was presented on an unappealing plate and the lamb (which was not lamb shoulder) was tough and served with a lime sauce that did not help. Overall, quite a disappointing and expensive experience.

Not to be missed!
Eating in this restaurant is like going to a friend's for dinner, a friend who is a great cook. The food is freshly prepared - no skimping on ingredients or attention to detail. The dining room is beautiful in a restful way - the staff helpful and friendly. The owner is present and pleased to discuss the venture, which expresses a vision rather a singular focus on the bottom line. I had a swiss chard tart that was interesting and excellent; with its tart side preparation, the combination of flavors was suggestive of high level cooking. My trout was wrapped in hand sliced bacon served with lentils, mustard greens in a light red wine sauce. It did not miss a beat. Lastly, my dessert was a cake or torte made from chocolate and hazelnuts with a gel type fig glaze surrounded by a fine creme anglaise amidst dark chocolate swirls. Once again, the concept and execution suggested a 4 star venue. It is clear that these folks are committed to wonderful food in a lovely setting. This is a place not to be missed!
