Might be the worst fish and chips ive had for $32. Service and atmosphere are great.
Food is overpriced for the quality. The “chips” were large unseasoned soft potatoe wedges. The mussels were large and had no sauce so they just steamed them. Quality of food was very strange given how cool the building is.

The Rissoto was excellent and the white wine was the perfect accompaniment. Service was discrete and always timely and the atmosphere was American casual but with a distnct European flare. A most enjoyable lunch! More

Besides the crispy rice dish, the food was truly underwhelming to the point of almost being unpleasant. I was so desperate to love this place as I love the location and ambiance. The bakery near it was amazing, though. More

I have to say for the small amount of food the prices are a bit high.
The calamares were good, but the cheese plate i wasn't happy with it. They gave me 3 very tiny thin slices of hard white cheese, 1 very small brie, 2 dry pieces … More

We sat at a table across from the bakery, so atmosphere, though cute, wasn’t 100%—sitting at the bar next time. Overall, however, this place is IT. I nearly swooned over the razor clam crudo, and the deep fried sea bass (those words … More
