Upscale vibe, very nicely designed, and most seats are within booths, making things more intimate. The food itself is kosher/dairy/Italian but elevated and modern (most reminiscent of Cipriani). There were some service and other issues, but the fundamental premise is good. Trendy crowd, great location, good food.We ordered family style, got eggplant rolatini, hen of the woods (grilled mushrooms topped with parmesan and pesto), and the mushroom salad (more of arugula topped with charred mushrooms and farro). We also got two pizzas, the dough of which was very impressive and made me think what kind of oven they have back there. We got Margherita and, you guessed it, more mushroom and goat cheese (which was excellent, and topped with truffle oil). The tuna steak came with a peppercorn crust and red wine glaze that was excellent, even good well done. Branzino was very good as well. The fettuccine Limone was good, reminiscent of Lil Frankie 's, but with some kind of green mixed in. Overall a heavy emphasis on mushrooms, but we didn 't mind.The real critique here is that they seemed to be missing a maitre 'd or real manager to handle the crowds that were coming in at 9pm. The staff was hardworking, but unprofessional. They first told us we didn 't have a reservation (although we put down our credit card), then told us our 9pm reservation was made for 9:15. Recommend using Resy, OpenTable or a similar service. There seemed to have been 3 different groups all with a 9pm reservation, and only a single open table. We had a reservation for 7, but they seated us on a 6 seated table. They asked us tap, bottled or sparkling we said tap, but they kept bringing us bottled. $37 for 5 bottles, or $49 with tax and mandatory 20% tip. Would not happen at a more professional establishment. Could use some work here.Cost was $160 per couple including tax and tip for family style, sharing mains and a bottle of wine. Not bad and pretty good value. Dessert was excellent, especially the ice cream brownie thing.

And to follow up on her response to my review, the manager approached me with a very mean comment. I nicely told herthat i m not gonna take space or chair i?ll move to seat on a bench next to my friend. The guys who set next to me told her theydon?t mind either. I m attaching a photo of how much space there was in btw me and the guys next to us. I thought we made itwork. Out of nowhere the owner came back and started talking to me in the nastiest way. I responded to her nicely and told her:? i made arrangements to leave my kids at home so that i can come here, could you please let me stay?? She looked at me andyelled: ? i dont care that you left your kids at home?. She then instructed her staff not to serve me. When my 7 months pregnantfriend came up to her to ask her why i m not getting served, the. Woman told her; ?get away from me? and gave her the handgesture to leave. The couple next to us told her that before we came, she was fighting with them for no reason. Finally, after20 min someone brought me my drink. What kind of human being talks like this to paying customers? Who tells a pregnant person:get away from me? Reading the rest of reviews about this woman, it appears almost everyone complains about her. Time for anattitude adjustment!
