New resto around Soho that’s super vibey. Believe one of the owners is also an art collector because the entire space is suuuuuper funky and filled with paintings. The bar area was especially fun - probs would be a fun date spot tbh and I think if I come again, I’d rather j sit at the bar. The food quality was a tad inconsistent. We got everything that was recommended online - the fluke crudo was meh (didn’t feel particularly fresh or unique - honestly felt more like ceviche), the oyster mushrooms were fine, the scallop was lukewarm, and the monkfish was plain bad (dry, a bit tough, and not particularly flavorful). I will say the biscuit and ribeye were so good though… the meringue dessert was also phenomenal. Service was also a bit wonky but I will give them the benefit of the doubt as they just opened (had 3 diff waiters ask us if we were finished w our food in the span of 10min lol).
