Description



Located just a block from The Dakota, this neighborhood spot is anchored by a famous wine wall and a fully stocked bar. It offers space to settle in without the pressure of being rushed out. The menu runs from brunch and dinner to late-night treats like molten chocolate cake. However, the easygoing pace can sometimes affect the kitchen; late-night diners ordering around 11 PM have reported delayed service and incorrect orders, even when drinks are served promptly.
