Copinette

Went here for lunch on Thursday and I really enjoyed my meal. The service was good and water was constantly refilled. The food was tasty and came relatively quickly. The portions are a reasonable size. Definitely coming back. Five stars.

Coordinated and attended a work function here. We used the whole dining room, doing a dinner for about 35 people with drinks included. The ambience was good, and the staff were really accommodating to our many requests and questions. Overall, the dinner went really well, and all the food was really good. Would definitely go back on again.

Copinette is a cozy restaurant with friendly and professional staff. We ate family style, so everyone can have a bit of everything. For the most part, we enjoyed our meals. Arturo and Marius were great. Apps: Bacon Mac N Cheese (a little underwhelming for us), Potato Leak Soup (everyone liked this, but many liked the French Mushroom Soup more), Calamari (tasted basic), Tuna Tatare, Grilled Octopus. We finished all the apps! Entrees: Rack of Lamb (well liked), Steak Frites, Chilean Sea Bass, and Stuffed Salmon (Entree of the day was popular with us), Shrimp Scampi (mom didn’t like it), Truffle Risotto (my sister raved about this). Drinks: We ordered a lot of strawberry mojitos 🍸 Desserts: I loved the Sorbet- raspberry, mango, coconut flavors, coconut cake (yummy too), chocolate mousse (most liked it), and cheesecake (I didn’t like it)

Went here for lunch on a random Tuesday afternoon and the place was relatively quiet. The four of us and our little one on his comfortable high chair were seated right away. We started off with Cucumber Cooler ($15), Spicy Margarita ($15), and Gene Hackman ($15) as our cocktails - all of which were absolutely excellent. Good taste, good amount of punch and took us all to that happy place after our drink! For Appetizers, we got the Truffle Burrata ($16) and Super Lump Crab Cake ($19) both of which were excellent and very flavorful. For mains we got the Smoked Salmon Frittata ($18), Four Cheese Ravioli ($20), Truffle Risotto ($19), and Fettuccine Bolognese ($22). The vegetarian options were excellent and my Four Cheese Ravioli was very delicious. Our table enjoyed their meal and food overall was really delicious and for a change, really well priced too! Service was excellent, friendly staff, and food arrived within 20 minutes of ordering. Noise levels were low and seating was very comfortable. We will definitely visit again!

We had top notch service and food. They were very accommodating. The filet mignon was grilled to perfection. The halibut was delicious. They had great drinks and desserts. It was easy to get a reservation. We are glad we found this place on Google maps. Definitely will be returning!

Went here for brunch with my parents and brother. Most meals were pretty good. I felt a bit tricked with the dish I ordered though. It was written in the menu that I was ordering a fish filet with some vegetables under a french dish title (yellowfin tuna viçoise). Turned out it was pretty much just a salad with some pan seared tuna pieces. A 24 dollar dish that is hardly sufficient for a hungry adult. The burger my dad had was very good (I had a taste). The eggs and steak were good as well, but I think the steak could have been jucier. My dish is a good option for someone on a diet, which I actually need and therefore wasn’t that upset about it. Mimosa was fine but I am pretty sure they use pasteurized orange juice. The ambience and service were both fine. It’s not an expensive place, therefore overall a very decent value.

The perfect brunch experience. I had the croque monsieur and crab Benedict with truffle fries. All so good. Cocktails & wine rounded out the menu. The waitstaff was so lovely and pleasant I would def return.

Friendly service and a cool atmosphere here. The food and service time really left something to be desired though. It took a good 45 minutes to get our food, and the appetizers we ordered when we also ordered dinner didn't come out until they came with dinner. Some of the food was room temperature by the time it came out. It was strange too, since the place wasn't full and it seemed like there were enough people working. So really just not sure why things took so long. When we finally did get the food it was ok, but for the price ($25-40 per entree) it was disappointing to get such a small portion that wasn't even all warm. Overall, this place wasn't terrible but it wasn't great either, probably won't come back.

We recently held a company dinner here, and it was a huge success! Sandra was amazing helping me coordinate the event and the entire Copinette team provided excellent service the night of the event. The food was amazing and the environment perfect for our party.

This restaurant has become a go to for me. The food is always very good. The staff is welcoming and friendly. Never had a bad meal there. I would highly recommend it. Never disappoints. Also, it is not overpriced.

Had a really lovely time here for dinner as a party of nine. We were seated upstairs, where we had the area to ourselves. ALL the apps we orders were very good! The slaw with the Crab Cake paired nicely, and the sauce and mushrooms with the Pan Seared Scallops were so YUM! The Grilled Octopus was very tender and not chewy at all, like some places. We got the Salmon Tartare special and everything about it was delicious! Fried calamari is a must with large parties, as it's an easy dish to share. The Steak was perfectly cooked and came with the crispiest sweet potato fries. The Sea Bass was moist and I really enjoyed the roasted potatoes that came with it. There was ample lobster in the Lobster Linguini dish, which was pleasant. The Grilled Branzino was okay, nothing special. Great, attentive staff. Overall, had a wonderful time. Nice spot for a date night, comfortable meal, or special occasion!

My friend and I visited Copinette earlier this year for brunch and looooved their French onion soup. It brought us back last week for a post happy hour dinner! We shared a French onion soup and the roasted scallops for appetizers. The soup was as delicious as I remembered!! The scallops were good and cooked well. For entrees, we shared the truffle risotto and the Hazelnut Mushroom Crusted Halibut. Lovedddd the risotto. The halibut was a tiny bit overcooked in my opinion but still enjoyed it. We also shared a good bottle of Pinot Grigio! Service wise, we were greeted by a warm and cheerful man at the door, which was lovely! Our waitress was not super attentive but the restaurant was packed for a Monday night! She never helped to refill our wine glasses and since she put the ice bucket across the table from us, we had to keep getting up to refill our glasses ourselves. Will be back for the French onion soup among others! Lots of great things on their menu I want to eat my way through.

Had a pleasant experience at Copinette! Was here for a small work dinner on a Monday night. It was warm inside and they had a coat check as well. Service was exceptionally fast! Our appetizers came out so fast I was surprised. I must've gained about 10lbs - everything was pretty good! Only hiccup is that they accidentally marked down both our Steak Frites dinner with no fries. Once served, they told us their mistake and asked if we still wanted the fries. (Obviously!!!?!?) Once the fries came out, they only gave us 1 side order instead of both. Not sure why this happened! Other than that, staff were friendly and would come back.

Passed by this restaurant many times and said I would stop in one day to try it out. Stopped in for my birthday dinner with family. We had about 8 of us they put us at a semi long table near front of restaurant. The restaurant is dimly lit and they have small lamps at all tables. The bar area is in the front. It has a tv its on the smaller side but a decent size for a restaurant. And our waitress we had was very nice and answered all questions we had and took my allergies seriously. For drinks most of the table had red wine. not sure which one they had but they seemed to like it alot. I had the Oui Oui champagne drink that had champagne, botanist gin, cointreau, lime juice, rose syrup. It came with a pretty flower too! It lasted me through out the whole dinner. For food I started iff with the French onion soup which was very tasty and came super hot! I then had the ROASTED AMISH CHICKEN BREAST garlic mashed potatoes, roasted brussels sprouts, lemon, garlic and white wine sauce. There seemed to be like a raspberry sauce on my plate too of some sort not sure what that was. Some other dishes that were had at the table were the STEAK FRITES ny strip, peppercorn sauce, sea salt french fries with mesclun greens, Lobster Risotto with green peas, cherry tomatoes, scallions and some pasta dish. For dessert I had the affogato, and they brought out slices of their cheese cake for the celebrations. All around food and drinks were good. It did get a bit noisy because there were many people there while we were there. I would definitely come back and try their brunch menu!

We went here to have brunch and Inwas happily pleased! Amerixan with a French Flair- I ended up with warm goat cheese salad-frisée, beets, prosciutto, and hazelnut vinaigrette on the side. They also give you a croissant on the side. it was very good. My friends got scrambled eggs with bacon (took half home) and blueberry buttermilk pancakes-with strawberries, blueberries, blueberry syrup and whipped cream for my college daughter. Everyone qas very pleased. The place is so pretty with its pictures and flowers. There also is an upstairs which is lovely. We decided not to have any dessert here. I would come back as it is a very nice place that is worth trying again

This review is primarily for their brunch. I decided to have a few friends join me for a birthday Sunday girls brunch. We were seated at a long table in the back corner which is nice. I ate an eggs drink and a few alcoholic drinks. Their cocktails were interesting. Service was just ok, I remember there being a few small issues. Food was pretty standard, not that great or memorable. I had higher hopes, I do hope their dinner menu is better because I noticed a few things on it I would go back to try some day. It was still a pleasant experience.

Hubby and I took a day trip to the city and we checked out this place for dinner. We ordered the truffle Burrata and that was chefs kiss Drinks were great and I ordered the Chicken Francese as the entree also great. Overall can't complain!

this place was a 10/10 all around, cocktails were delicious, food was AMAZING, flavorful, mouthwatering and service was really good. The restaurant has nice mood lighting which I love. Do yourself a favor and share food with others at your table so you get to try a little bit of everything- you truly can't go wrong with anything on the menu

Great experience here during restaurant week! Service was great and every single dish was phenomenal. Reasonable prices as well. Decent happy hour until 6 which they honor on the patio as well. Definitely would come back here.

I came to the Copinette on a weekend and it wasn't too too packed. The waiters were really nice and patient as my friend was running quite late. As for food, I ordered the copinette omelette. The portion was MASSIVE. It came with potatoes and a side salad as well. Overall, I thought it tasted okay but it was good bang for the buck.

Was very excited to try this restaurant to celebrate with my coworker. As it was around the corner from our office we thought it would be a smooth ride. I received a text that they were closed for a private party and that we would have to be seated outside in which we agreed. We show up at the time of our reservation - with no one at the desk and a "closed" sign on the door so obviously we don't walk in. I call once and get their automated voice, no one proceeds to answer. I call back after texting the same number that contacted us about having to sit outside and the phone was picked up and hung up. As we started looking for other restaurants the hostess comes outside looks around and goes back inside - as if we were not literally standing in front of the restaurant. Then once we "summon" her outside I explain to her that we have been calling and didn't go inside due to it saying closed and us understanding there was a private party - and oddly enough she was very rude explaining she didn't know anyone was outside, though no one even came to check for almost ten minutes if we were there. It felt prejudice - and unfortunately I don't think I will ever return, we are at a lovely restaurant around the corner called deux amis where upon the walk in we were received with kindness and laughter.

I came here on a Thursday night. It wasn't that packed. My group and I were seated in the back and it felt like a private room. There were other tables in the alcove space we had but no one else was seated there. We ordered: - Tuna tartare - my favorite appetizer - calamari - needed a little more flavor and was not that crispy - bruschetta - didn't try this - crab cake - only comes with one crab cake - squid - lobster linguine - I enjoyed this a lot!! - steak frites I had a pretty good experience here and service was good.

What a delightful brunch we had here today. They begin with placing a warm croissant on the table, which was a very nice touch and very tasty. We enjoyed chicken Caesar salad and a crab cake sandwich on a perfectly toasted brioche bun that came with salad and fries. I've been craving a good crab cake for a long time and this one was seasoned to perfection and the toasted brioche bun with a really tasty sauce just put it over the top and really hit the spot. For dessert we had a decadent ricotta cheese cake with strawberry compote. The only negative was the coffee was luke warm, but it was still rich and tasted excellent. Our waitress was absolutely wonderful, on point, attentive and super friendly. Will definitely return to try Branzino or lobster risotto from their dinner menu. Very highly recommend.

Restaurant week. Excellent service, nice place average food. Sit upstairs it's quieter.

We had the restaurant week dinner. $45 is more reasonable than many restaurants asking $60 for pretty much the same choices. First the background. The interior design is warm and welcoming. Real roses on each table. Real candle, not led light want to b s. Exceptional service. Impossible to get the water glass half empty. Our meal began with arugula salads. With pears, walnuts, blue cheese and maple champagne vinaigrette, this was a next level salad. She had the branzino. Perfectly cooked, topped with lemon, capers along with a side of mashed potatoes and sautéed spinach. Healthy and delish. I got chicken cordon blue. Stuffed with ham, Swiss, and apple. Asparagus side over carrot puree. Dessert was a warm chocolate brownie, caramel sauce , and vanilla ice cream. Since I once lived in Oregon, I went with the Erath vineyards pinot noir, which has never let me down. I know it's NYC, but you'll have trouble finding a much better dinner.

How lucky we were we that our dear friend treated us to a lovely dinner at Copinette when we visited her in New York. The restaurant has a whimsical décor with indoor and outdoor seating. Their menu is quite extensive; offering delicious Italian dishes. Nina, our server, was very friendly and attended to all of our needs. We ordered a bottle of Simi Chardonnay - 2021 Sonoma - a very drinkable and crisp wine. For the table, we shared an order of Fried Calamari with a marinara sauce on the side. The calamari were perfectly fried - not greasy, just crispy. My husband and I shared an Arugula Salad that had pears, walnuts, and blue cheese with a delicate maple champagne vinaigrette dressing. It was so fresh and delicious. Our friend enjoyed one of her favorite dishes, the Chicken Caesar Salad, which was huge and loaded with romaine, hard-boiled egg, and crostini topped with Caesar dressing. My husband enjoyed Shrimp Scampi served over a spinach risotto; dressed with a creole lemon garlic sauce. I was in heaven when I saw that they had a Truffle Risotto dish. It was perfectly done - arborio rice, mushrooms, white truffle oil and parmesan cheese. It made the angels sing. For the sweet ending, my husband savored the Warm Brownie Sundae - vanilla ice cream, chocolate, and caramel sauce. Our friend raved about her sorbets: raspberry and mango. Andrew, the owner, stopped by our table to welcome us and shared stories about his family, his restaurants, and his vacation plans. We really enjoyed our evening at Copinette!

Copinette is so beyond delightful, I wish it were closer to me! We were drawn in by the $6 anniversary specials and found the portions and taste of everything to be exceptional. I got to try the Cosmo, Rose, fried tortellini, tuna tartare, as well as hazelnut crusted halibut off the regular menu, and every single bite was absolutely phenomenal. The outdoor dining area is absolutely perfect, with covering from the elements and plenty of space to get comfortable. Everything was easy to access in a wheelchair, including the bathroom, and staff was great. Only downside is that I can't make it back tomorrow.

Excellent environment.... Friendly service... great menu choices !!! What a lovely restaurant Andrew the owner went above and beyond. Romantic/g

Very dark in bar are. Asked them to turn up lights so I could see what I was eating.no luck. Calamari over cooked. Staff nice.

Pleasant prix fixe lunch. Good ingredients. Nice presentation and reasonably priced but

Food is excellent Service, I admire Nina services it's outstanding and very knowledgeable to the menu by heart and explain clearly to customer with Always a smile on her face. I guarantee that I will come again and again for more

Great ambiance, love how you're not on top of anyone and the food is consistently delicious, just wish the shrimp entrees were a little larger. Very nice staff

Quite a standard brunch place. Interiors are pretty though however nothing in the menu that stands out. But I must call out that their service is top notch and servers are courteous and do care abt the customers. We ordered truffle omelette with house fries and smoked Salmon on toast. No complains from the food as such and the portions are generous. Just that I'm kinda tired of the similar brunch menu across majority of restaurants. If restaurants can start getting bit more creative with their menu, it will go far with the customers.

Copinette is a great restaurant starting with the ambiance all the way to the food. We started with the tuna tartare which was delicious and super light. We shared the lobster risotto and grilled Branzino. Both were amazing! The Branzino was cooked perfectly. The presentation of the food was like no other. Service was on point, making sure everything was to our liking. Will definitely go again!

This place is amazing. Went here for brunch and dinner and both were great. The location is a little unfortunate being on first Avenue but it's worth going out of your way.

Bad Service! I went there sat in the bar area after 15 minutes no service! I called over a waiter and asked can I be served here he said yes and walked away never to be seen again. I waited another 15 min no service. the bar tender saw me sitting there with no response. when I first walked in I asked can i be served at the bar she said yes later that woman saw me sitting there and did nothing knowing I had not been served 30 min and no service. I went to the bar tender and said is it possible to be served here? She said Do you want a drink? Really no Im here to watch your plants grow... I thought in my head as I walked out. the food is good the service is hit or miss.

Food: 5/5 | Service: 5/5 | Experience: 5/5 Had a lovely early brunch at Copinette. The restaurant was clean and the staff were very kind. They have a great selection of drinks, wine, and food. There is also a small section for non alcoholic drinks. The food was great quality and came with great portions - everything was flavorful and cooked well. Brunch came with a free small croissant that was nice instead of regular bread. I got the iced coffee; something to note is that they didn't have any non dairy replacements for milk. What we ordered: * Eggs benedict * Copinette omelette * Iced latte * Espresso martini Things to know: * Many open tables open for early brunch * No non dairy options for coffee

Amazing experience as always. We have hosted 3/4 private events at copinette and have never been disappointed. The planning staff is responsive and organized. The food is plentiful and delicious. The service is amazing. Serving a large group can be very stressful but you would never know given how calm copinette's staff is. I look forward to coming back for future family events.

Overall, the food was just okay and considering there are so many good brunch places around I was a bit disappointed. Came here for brunch on a Sunday with two others. We had a reservation for 11:30am and the place was pretty empty. By the time we left the place was fairly packed. I ordered a Cafe Latte which was alright. We got an order of the French Toast to share, which was my favorite thing of the entire meal. Not because it was exceptionally good, it was just the best thing we ate. My boyfriend ordered the French Onion Soup, which was pretty disappointing. The broth was sour which is an interesting take on french onion soup. For myself, I ordered the Truffle Omelette, which was just okay. The truffle flavor was very faint, the salad that accompanied the omelette was not very appetizing either, and I felt like I got a half portion of the potatoes it came with. Overall, everyone in my party agreed that the meal was subpar. Thank you, next!

The food was amazing and the service was top notch. The burger was so juicy and tasty, the truffle fries were very good. The blueberry pancakes were out of this world.

Went here for lunch on a random Tuesday afternoon and the place was relatively quiet. The four of us and our little one on his comfortable high chair were seated right away. We started off with Cucumber Cooler ($15), Spicy Margarita ($15), and Gene Hackman ($15) as our cocktails - all of which were absolutely excellent. Good taste, good amount of punch and took us all to that happy place after our drink! For Appetizers, we got the Truffle Burrata ($16) and Super Lump Crab Cake ($19) both of which were excellent and very flavorful. For mains we got the Smoked Salmon Frittata ($18), Four Cheese Ravioli ($20), Truffle Risotto ($19), and Fettuccine Bolognese ($22). The vegetarian options were excellent and my Four Cheese Ravioli was very delicious. Our table enjoyed their meal and food overall was really delicious and for a change, really well priced too! Service was excellent, friendly staff, and food arrived within 20 minutes of ordering. Noise levels were low and seating was very comfortable. We will definitely visit again!

Copinette is a perfect spot for a first date. The food is good and the prices are reasonable for good quality ingredients without breaking the bank. The place is dimly lit and the shadows cast a romantic vibe throughout the space. The service was excellent. We were welcomed with a lot of warmth and enthusiasm. We ordered a bottle of Ruffino Prosecco and the bottle was perfectly chilled. We ordered the fried beef tortellini, crispy calamari with marinara sauce, Amish chicken breast, four cheese ravioli, and dessert. Everything was very tasty. The four cheese ravioli is very saucy for those that love to sauce it up. I'm personally not a fan but it still tasted good.

Came here during restaurant week. The place had an older-classy vibe to it, with a friendly and well dressed host. We ordered a drink which came out incorrectly and was offered to us for free since it was already made, but we declined since the other person does not drink. Very well handled by the server. We got the french onion soup, which I would put in top 5 I've ever had. Tuna tartar, which my friend loved. And the crispy tortellini - this will be insulting, but they looked and tasted like russian pelmeni which is concidered the chepest dish. I enjoyed them regardless, I just thought it was a funny coincidence. The entre was chicken and mushroom polenta, which I found far more flavorful with different flavor combinations of sweetness and earthiness. I don't remember what we had for dessert, because we were already full and I think we just took a spoon full each. Overall a very nice classic restaurant. P.S. They had live jazz! Made the ambience that much better!

Food was really good service was excellent . Would highly recommend especially when they have music

Great place to eat dinner. Extensive menu, beautiful setting, and very friendly staff. Food was tasty & flavorful while still beautifully plated.

I feel like this place was just okay. It's cute, and convenient if you're in the area, but I wasn't super into it. The croissant thing they give you instead of regular bread is a nice touch. Omelette didn't have much flavor, the fruit was good, fries were good, but my friend didn't like her penna alla vodka. She did like her cocktail, though I can't recall which one she got. Service was quick.

Great food. Efficient and friendly staff. Had a nice brunch outside. Delicious crab cake sandwich. Good place to grab a bite before touring the U.N. or a Broadway show.

I really enjoyed my experience here for dinner. I sat outdoors to enjoy the weather. I had the lobster risotto which I paired for the riesling. It was cooked perfectly, the risotto melted in my mouth. The flavor was just spot on. I then had the affogato which was the perfect way to end the evening. My server was was friendly and prompt. If you're in the area for sure stop by.

I had a good time here. Service was exceptional. Everyone welcomed you. They were responsive to requests and on point with coming by to check on you. The food was amazing. I had the truffle omelette and the pancakes pictured. So flavorful and juicy. The cheese was a bit much on my omelette but I still enjoyed it. I definitely could've eaten more of those pancakes too. Oh, and what's brunch without mimosa!!? Def a place worth trying. Make reservations for outdoor seating on a perfect day.

Randomly did a walk in here because we've passed by and thought it looked good and we were so pleasantly surprised! We ordered the Chilean sea bass, crab cakes and steak for two people and it was more than enough food. Flavor was great on everything, not over the top and all cooked really well. Super impressed with this place! Definitely will be returning here and have already recommended it to people!

Although Copinette is labeled as a French/American restaurant, a lot of its menu is actually comprised of tasty Italian pasta options. To start, we got the Fried Calamari, which were nice and soft- the softness was good in a way, but it was also missing a bit of the crispy fried exterior. I also ordered the Mushroom Veal Bolognese. This pasta was supposed to be fettuccine, but it was actually more like spaghetti. Nevertheless, it was still tasty, as it was cooked to a nice chewy consistency with little chunks of veal/lamb in it. It wasn't particularly flavorful, but was still enjoyable. To drink, I got the Copinette Cosmo, which was a bit strong with the vodka in comparison to the fruity cranberry flavor, but good nonetheless. The prices ($24 for the pasta, $17 for the calamari, and $16 for the cocktail) were in line with other restaurants of this quality. The interior of the restaurant has a classy vibe with some trendy artwork. There is lots of seating both inside and outside. The staff were friendly and attentive, and the service speed was pretty quick. Overall, Copinette has a variety of high quality French, American, and Italian foods served in a classy environment.

I started w a cosmo. Perfectly balanced n strong! The food is amazing except initially for my tuna niçoise, the tuna was too pink I had to send it back to be cooked more and my egg on the salad was over cooked. Surprised a restaurant can't boil eggs to perfection wo the sulfur around the yoke. It only takes 9 minutes for hard boiled eggs n you shock it in cold water! Other than that the veal bolognese was perfectly seasoned, the shrimp scampi was cooked perfectly, the grilled bronzino was good, nice big portion. The desert are great, The trois choco cake is good, cheese case is good. The ambiance is great, I love all the paintings. The restaurant is understaffed. (Like all NY restaurants) It took forever to get bread n water.

Great spot for brunch that won't make your pockets bleed! We made a reservation for outdoor dining a few days in advance and were immediately seated upon arrival. In terms of COVID safety, the outdoor dining allows for a lot of ventilation, which is great, but is also right next to a bike lane -- so be careful as you step out because I saw a few people nearly get hit! As with all large groups, it took a bit for the entire group to arrive; however, the staff didn't rush us at all and instead gave us complimentary mini croissants as we waited. T.T So amazing!! My friends loved the croissants and quickly ate them up. I ordered a french toast, which came with plenty of cream and huge chunks of apple. The toast was crisp on the outside but fluffy on the inside and had plenty of syrup to keep the entire dish sweet. They also give a ton of syrup on the side in case the prepoured syrup doesn't hit your sweet spot. The apples and cream provide a great contrast to the sweet, fluffy french toast. Overall, a great meal and a decent price for NYC brunch! Drinks were $9 per drink if I recall correctly, which is also a pretty good price.

Wow I was completely blown away by my Restaurant Week dining experience here! When I was browsing menus, Copinette's definitely stood out to me and sounded so enticing, and their $39 dinner deal was relatively more affordable than $59 dinner deals at other places - music to my med-student-wallet's ears :) My friend and I made a reservation at 5 pm just in case, but the restaurant was relatively empty that Saturday evening and we were seated very quickly. I really loved the decor and ambience of the place - it somehow gave off cozy yet aesthetically modern and sleek vibes at the same time. Our servers were incredibly attentive about water and offering us butter & bread, which was so hearty and warm and much appreciated after we crossed 4 avenues in 20 degree weather to get to the restaurant! For the appetizer, I got the crispy tortellini while my friend got the French onion soup. I wasn't sure what I was expecting, since the tortellini I received wasn't exactly crispy, but there seemed to be another bread crumb coating outside the pasta skin. The filling inside was delicious and bursting with flavor! For the entree, my friend and I both got the pan seared pork chop dish and we were both amazed at the portion size. This was my first time trying a stuffed pork chop and it was incredible! The meat was so tender and juicy, despite the size of the cut - I'm so impressed at how well they were able to cook it! I had been a little anxious because I don't like blue cheese and the dish was served with blue cheese fingerling potatoes and green beans, but I enjoyed the sides immensely! The blue cheese flavor wasn't overpowering at all and everything on the plate just seemed to pair so well together. Needless to say, I definitely wasn't able to finish my entree and had to take part of it to go. For the dessert, we both got the peach melba (caramelized peaches, vanilla ice cream, raspberry puree and whipped cream), which honestly was what I was most excited to try. Even though I didn't really get a lot of raspberry puree in my glass, the dessert was so rich and indulgent and I can honestly say, this was one of my favorite meals I've ever had. My pictures definitely don't do justice to their taste and quality :) We never had to wait very long for our dishes, and I'm so glad I was able to check out this restaurant! I can't wait to come back on a special occasion and try other items on their menu!

Excellent food and service. We keep going back whenever we visit NYC. The atmosphere is friendly and relaxed.

You must visit this restaurant to get the full experience as my review won't quite do justice. Request Emilio to be your waiter. Absolutely wonderful experience. Starts with the welcome and then the food. My three guests were thrilled with their perfectly prepared salmon and dinner salad suggestions. I had the lobster linguine and it's as though the chef placed an entire lobster tail and claw in the delicious linguine and sauce. Very generous and highly appreciated. We stayed and enjoyed a wonderful conversation and none of the staff rushed us to depart!! They were so friendly and wonderful and made us feel like we owned the restaurant for that short period of time. Thanks again, Emilio! We shall return.

I order an Avocado toast but it came with guacamole and not real avocado. Wine, drinks in general were very good. Good price for brunch. Price: 45 per person (tip+drinks)
