Pappardelle was the best dish!! Would skip the truffle ricotta toast and the meatballs (it had raisins in it…?…?). Sat across jake gylenhaal nbd he looks tired in person

First time coqoqdaq - very late to the game Brunch was a good deal for the pre fixe set. Fav bite was the caviar on chicken nuggets. I was ready to be a hater but it was SO good. I would get it again and again Froyo at the end was a nice touch and I love tart froyo!!
