Check your bill two or three times. They charged us tip twice (one in the bill and another one in the credit card receipt). They charged a regular coffee as a cappuccino, a single tomato spaghetti as a spaghetti with meatballs, $9 for two avocado slices on the side...etc. Very limited menu for brunch.

Unfortunately, my dining experience was very different than previous reviewers. My family of 4 was squished into a small table, our entrees were slow to come out; the table next to ours were seated later and received their food earlier than us. The food was fair/good, but the portions seemed small especially when plated in a big bowl. Service was spotty; had to request water several times. Did provide takeout boxes for leftovers. As previously noted, dining room is very small. Sorry to say that we probably won't return if we are back in NYC Upper West side.
