Whether you are a meat lover, vegan, or vegetarian, we promise you will find something you’ll love in our rustic & unique restaurant that we call home. Mazel tov!

Fun Fact: find the blue door and enter our new secret, Blue Quarter NYC, between Tuesday and Sunday from 5pm-12am. Tea-inspired cocktails served by the best mixologists in NYC. It doesn't get better than that.

Nice menu with vegan and g.f. choices, friendly service. Pretty decor. AC was broken, but I'm sure they'll fix that.

Delicious food, awesome ambiance, and great drink menu… but incredibly slow service. Our drinks were sitting on the bar for ~20 minutes before they were delivered to our table.

The food was very good. This may sound insignificant but the floor was very slippery. At first I thought it was water but it remained that way the whole night. Aside from being nervous that my parents would slip and fall that made me question the cleanliness.

I typically don't write reviews but this restaurant exceeded my expectations. Service was a great balance of "attention" with understanding my friend and I wanted time to catch up. Server's recommendations were on spot and my drink was made perfectly. Loved the open-air of the restaurant, so even eating inside felt like you were outside but without the city street noise. Would definitely recommend and look forward to eating there again.

The best place to start your weekend. Great vibe , and just soooo much fun. I went to their Soho location 1st and had a great time, but that location is a lil more bougie, but the east village location is a straight up vibeeee

We never had a server assigned to our table. We had to ask the host for menus, we got to ask the host to order and we had to ask the food runner for more water and our check. The food came out in a time manner, but it was bland. The hummus and babaganoush tasted exactly the same. I got the Caesar salad and it came out with dressing on the side and a there was too much lettuce to mix the dressing it was falling out everywhere. It was just a mess. Maybe they were having an off night in regards to service, but the food isn’t worth it for me to go back. If you’re between two places, choose the other one.

Had a great time hosting a birthday dinner here! The staff were so energetic and attentive - shoutout to Lucas and Zoe in particular for taking care of us so well. Really appreciated getting our own private room, would def recommend for big groups.

It has been a while since I have eaten at a restaurant in the East Village. The food was good but just little things. We wanted to order a bottle of chianti which was on the wine list but was told the chianti was not available at the restaurant only at their sister restaurant in Soho. Not a huge deal but odd. The other thing that was odd ice was added to the guys' cognac (after dinner drink). Never have I seen ice in cognac before. You would think a bartender would know this. We asked for extra bread to sop up the sauce in our appetizers. 4 small pieces of toasted bread was $4 - didn't mention to us there was an extra charge. I understand prices have gone up and the restaurants need to recoup to make ends meet but $4 was a big excessive for 4 small pieces of bread. I would not go back but there are other restaurants in the area I would try first.
