  • birthday dinner, party of 15
    I absolutely love this restaurant! The quality of the fruits and vegetables is outstanding—always fresh, vibrant, and clearly sourced with care. Every dish feels thoughtfully prepared, but the standout for me is the pork braised dish. It’s rich, tender, and packed with deep, savory flavor that melts in your mouth. You can really taste the time and skill that goes into it. This place never disappoints. Noise level is average for a NYC area restaurant and service spot on (we were a table of 15 for a birthday, not easy to serve even with a pre fix menu!!)
  • birthday dinner
    A very delicious small bites meal. Came here to celebrate a friend’s birthday — for a large format group they customize a menu and serve family style! Food was great (small and pricey). Notably their seafood was excellent - great to see the two mains on the family style meal both being fish and also featuring seafood starters too. The wine selection was great too, lot of good surprised. Particularly enjoyed their Spanish Grenache and albarino and to finish, a white sherry that was super super super dry. Overall awesome place for dinner, excellent for celebrations. Service was good too. There is only one bathroom so the lines were pretty long. Would definitely come back for another regular meal.
  • birthday celebration
    Absolutely fantastic from the beginning to the end! Made a large party request for my birthday celebration here last minute and thought it might not happen. However, the owner was super efficient and was able to arrange the celebration for me. They made a curated pre-fix menu with my name and birthday message on it, and were also able to make changes for one of my friend with dietary restrictions. Every course was unique with fresh flavor. Cozy atmosphere, unpretentious spot, amazing wine list and seasonal food menu, definitely a great place for a romantic date! Thank you so much for making this happen! I can’t wait to come back again!
  • group dinner
    Great night out with a large group - fantastic small plates and probably the best wine list in Brooklyn. Shout out to MVP Ines and the whole team for impeccable service and accommodating us last minute.
  • group walk-in
    Strongly recommend not going here. Multiple open tables, kitchen closed yet asked if we wanted to have dinner and when we said no we got sat on the bar. Hostess and servers had a major debrief and decided we’d be better off at the bar. Maybe cos half our group didn’t dress the part ? Or we weren’t a white group
