    1. Love it. Definitely the best addition to the neighborhood in quite some time. Try the steak frites, one of the best that I've ever had. I also enjoy their antipasta plate. Decent wine list, as well.

      It's a more comfortable place during the week. The weekends can be a bit crowded and noisy.

        1. re: jclifton

          Went last night w/ my husband.
          Atmosphere and Service was great: though I'm sure it's really loud in there on weekends.
          Had the antipasto plate, which was good
          Spinach/Arugula Salad was EXCELLENT
          Steak Frites good but a little undercooked
          Husband had lamb risotto which he enjoyed

          The highlight for me was the roasted banana croissant bread pudding.
          All in all was a pleasant experience with good food which is very fairly priced.
          I'd go on a weekday--I'm sure they're mobbed on the weekends

              We can't say enough good things about this new neighborhood spot- have been there a few times- nice staff, cozy corner, great food at a good price. Loved the spinach salad and the antipasto tray, highly recommend any of the pizzettes and save room for dessert!

            2. A large group of us went a few weeks ago. I'd probably go back again.

              The food was very good, at least mine was. Definitely don't miss out on their pizzettes for aps or even your meal. I think ours had prosciutto on it. I ordered the filet mignon special, 2 got the pastas, 1 ordered a pork chop and there were some seafood orders also. My filet was excellent, served on a bed of perfectly cooked polenta. On the other hand, the pork chop was overdone and almost tough, so I'd recommend staying away from that. The pastas were tasty, but not my style - to me, they needed more sauce. Wine selection was decent, nothing to write home about, but no complaints either.

              The service was very good... up until the point when the waitress couldn't figure out how to split the bill between almost all cash and 2 cards, despite specific instructions. Oh well, partly our fault since everyone didn't have cash.

              Atmosphere was good; the room is large and loud on a weekend night, so it wouldn't be a place I'd recommend if you wanted a more quiet intimate dinner.
