This place is such a classic NYC vibe. Grabbed a late dinner before heading to Proctor&#39;s. The bar area was buzzing, really cool energy.

Came in for a casual lunch. The vibe is bright and modern. Really enjoyed watching them shuck oysters fresh right at the counter&mdash;that was the highlight for me. Food was solid.

Sat at the counter again. Watching them make the corned beef hash from scratch is the best part. Fresh, crispy edges on the potatoes. Staff&#39;s always friendly, makes you feel like a regular. A bit of a wait for a counter seat sometimes, but it&#39;s worth it.

Jenn was a fantastic server, really attentive. My seafood carbonara was solid, and my husband loved his lasagna. The cr&egrave;me br&ucirc;l&eacute;e was a nice finish. I was happy with their wine list, found a nice Pinot Grigio that went well with the pasta.

Been coming here for years, and the grilled cheese for the kids is always the same. Fresh bread, good fries. It&rsquo;s the one thing I know I can count on when we&rsquo;re in a hurry before a show.

No wait on a Sunday morning, which is a win. The menu is huge, so I took my time. Went for the blueberry pancakes - fluffy, with real berries inside. Coffee kept coming. Staff was super chill.

My family loves this spot. The menu is huge, so everyone finds something they like. Service is always quick and friendly. Perfect for a casual dinner when you don&#39;t want to think about it.

The cheese-to-crust ratio on their pizzas is just right, honestly. It&#39;s the kind of detail that makes the whole thing work. The calzones have that same careful balance.

Cozy spot, perfect for unwinding with friends after skiing. The staff remembered our group from last time, which was a nice touch. Hot chocolate hit the spot. A bit loud when it gets busy, but that just adds to the vibe.

Really liked the chill vibe here. It&#39;s the kind of place where you can just hang out for a while. The beer list is solid&mdash;ended up grabbing a couple cans to go. Service was quick and friendly.

Cozy spot, perfect for a casual dinner. Ordered the chicken curry, and the portion was huge&mdash;definitely enough for two. For the price, it&#39;s a solid deal.

Been coming here for years. The chicken parm pizza is my go-to. Crust is always just right, not too heavy. Friendly folks behind the counter. Solid neighborhood spot.

The cheese board was a splurge at $26, but the variety was spot-on. Paired it with a glass of their house red, which cut through the richness perfectly. The sprouts were a tasty, cheaper side. A solid choice for a low-key celebration.

The prime rib with salt crust was a solid choice. It&#39;s a big portion, definitely enough for two. For the price, I felt like we got our money&#39;s worth. The meat was tender and flavorful. Would order it again.

The burger was spot on. Juicy patty, crispy bacon, and that brioche bun held up. Service was quick when I went early. Later, it got packed and seemed slower.

Bartenders are top-notch. They know their stuff and make you feel right at home. Fried pickles and piggy tots are my usual order. The bar&#39;s Old Fashioned is a solid choice to go with them.

The patio was perfect for our family lunch. Salads were fresh and looked great.

The bar is tucked away from the main dining area. I grabbed a seat there first. Their cocktails are definitely a step up&mdash;crafted with care. A nice, quiet spot to ease into the night.

The omelettes are fantastic. I really appreciate that they have rye toast as an option. Portions are generous, and the service is fast. Great for a quick, affordable breakfast.

Alex came out to chat. Really nice touch. Staff are super friendly, makes the place feel welcoming.

The back room was perfect for our party. Angel and the team handled everything smoothly, and the buffet kept everyone happy.

The shepherd&#39;s pie is so good, especially in that little cast iron pan. The fish and chips are great too, honestly some of the best around here.

The wine list is solid and pairs well with their simple menu. The side salad was a nice touch, though the atmosphere felt a bit loud for a quiet dinner.

Traveling and needed a quick bite. The grilled chicken sandwich was cooked just right, not dry at all. Hit the spot.

The Thanksgiving eggrolls. That&#39;s the move here. The filling was moist, not dry at all, and the cranberry sauce on the side cut through the richness perfectly. I&#39;d go back just for those. The loaded grilled cheese was fine, but the eggrolls stole the show.

I grew up in Japan, and this really tastes like home. The grilled mackerel was just right, simple and comforting.

The new patio is a nice spot for dessert. I had the spumoni and a couple of cookies, which were pretty good. The tomato pie was decent too, with a flaky crust and a hint of garlic in the sauce. A solid choice for a casual bite.
