Description

The dining room features a close-quarters setup, where guests sit shoulder-to-shoulder in cozy banquettes or grab an outdoor table to take in the Soho street scene. The menu focuses on Mediterranean-American brunch options, featuring dishes like the Madame Freda, spiced beet dip, and green shakshuka—though visitor opinions on the shakshuka vary. The atmosphere shifts from a calm weekday pace to a buzzing weekend crowd, backed by a notably patient staff.
