    I thoroughly enjoyed every bite of my delicious lunch at this rustic retreat in Manhattan. I started by tasting the chickpea soup which I’d never tried before. The soup was silky, smooth and full of flavor. After the soup I tasted both the eggplant parm appetizer and the Caesar salad. Not only were they a feast for the eyes but also a feast for the palate. I can’t wait to go back to try other delicious menu items!

    Had to wait 20 minutes despite having a reservation, BUT, the host worked tirelessly to speed time up and secure us a great table. He even offered us discounted drinks at the bar to thank us for waiting patiently. The food was delicious and we will be back!
