64 W 10th St. between 5th ave and 6th ave-GREENWICH VILLAGE

From the outside it looks as though you are entering someones home. There is a main floor section that I would say is better for group dinners and then an intimate setting upstairs for smaller groups that looks over the rest of the restaurant. Service is quick, attentive and professional. We ordered the soft-shell crab (great!), brussle sprouts (amazing!), octopus (good!), scallops (great!), and a chocolate cake (naturally, great!). The atmosphere is what makes this restaurant shine. It’s so cozy you feel as though you’re tucked away in someones cottage/home with lots of exposed wood beams and candles. The food came out a bit too quickly for my preference so I’d say that was one of the biggest drawbacks but overall we had a beautiful night and would definitely like to come back and try the fried goat cheese balls…!
