The various dining rooms are lovely with interesting tile accents, candle light and heavy wood furnishings. Very spacious for a Manhattan restaurant. The neighboring tables were a few feet away, which is rare. I loved the cherry tomato salad, the lemony octopus tempura and the short ribs served in a red wine mushroom reduction. Great flavors and textures. Good service. The empanadas were good but not extraordinary, sea bass was good but not extraordinary, gnocchi- same. ALL of the other dishes we had were stellar!! 9 dishes between the 3 of us. I will be back! Vegetarian options: Lots of vegetable small plates as well as olives, nuts, cheeses and salads. Not a lot if non meat or fish main dishes, but enough vegetable small plates to make a very nice meal, varied and filling! Dietary restrictions: Great and varied pescatarian choices. And allergy conscious kitchen. My niece has nut allergies and more than 80% of the menu was available to her. Also the manager gave us careful guidance, avoiding dishes cooked on the same grill as nut dishes. Very safety conscious.

Excellent! We did the whole shebang. Well worth it.

Ambiance is fine. nice fireplace, promising until we had the food. Grilled octopus, was over cooked , rubbery. Felt like I was munching on a car tire. They smothered charred burnt Brussels sprouts with their special sauce. Failed miserably. Scallops were so undercooked, we didn’t chance eating it. They need a new chef. In addition, overpriced wine @ $23-25 a glass. I’m getting tired with restaurants overcharging for a meal and alcohol and giving covid 2 years ago as an excuse to make up for lost revenue.

We went there for a nice dinner and had a very bad and unhappy experience. I prefer not to give details so as not to defame the place. Just my boyfriend's and my opinion, we won't be back.
