Description





The space was once Jilly’s Canteen, a haunt for Frank Sinatra and the Rat Pack. Today, it preserves the original red banquettes and bar—the latter featured in the film The Manchurian Candidate—along with original artwork unearthed from the venue's early days. The menu goes beyond standard classics to include Georgian khachapuri (spiced, cheese-filled bread) and karski (grilled lamb lollypops) alongside beef stroganoff and chicken kiev.
