Such a cute place. The gnocchi & bread pudding were light & pillowy. The scallops were not overdone. The Paloma was perfect. Server was attentive. Needed to request bread to mop up all the sauces. Couldn't waste a morsel!

First off this is a perfect spot for fine tapas, the lamb chops as well as the brie brulee were out of this world. Lastly the cocktails are all very well curated and the taste reflects that. Definitely will be going back.
