What our guests are saying
We were looking for a dog-friendly restaurant on a Saturday night and stumbled upon this place. The staff, especially our waiter Louis, were very accommodating and found us an outdoor table right away. They were very nice to our dog (and us) the whole time. The Black Iris pitza was delicious. The hummus, and the Juliet and Romeo cocktail were all solid. We'll be back.

A very cozy restaurant with a lovely, homey atmosphere. You instantly feel comfortable here. The food is delicious, especially the lamb — perfectly cooked, tender, and full of flavor. Definitely coming back.

Very stylish restaurant with incredible food - definitely get the za’atar bread to start! Our talented server was able to remember the orders for our table of eight by heart, and made excellent menu recommendations since it was our first time. Would love to return next time we are in NY again!
