Description
The experience spans two distinct zones: an upstairs bar serving warm nuts and deep-fried olives, and a downstairs dining room wrapped in wood, jazz music, and a 1930s New York atmosphere. The menu leans into decadent classics, where a highly praised burger and pastrami starter share the table with more mixed plates like dover sole or dry chocolate cake. But the clubby vibe comes with an operational catch: downstairs dining is limited to a strict time, with service keeping a brisk pace to usher tables out on schedule.
