I had a fish taco and the portion was perfect for me who does not like big portion. It wasn't anything super special but tasted very fresh and clean. The cocktail list looked cool, but I had a lunch. I should come back to grab drinks with friends.

Very tasty food but the place is small and a bit cramped.

Came here for the happy hour and while you're supposed to sit at the bar for happy hour, the bar had been taken by a private party but the server agreed to let us do happy hour anyway... The food was all fresh and tasty, and the drinks were fun as well, but remarkably, it still came out to $40 something per head before tip. Sure, we had two drinks each and were fairly hungry, but I was just shocked. Given how much we ate/drank, certainly not a bad deal, but added up much faster than I'd have thought. That said though, quality of food was great and will certainly come back, though probably not for full priced fare :)

Rating this based on my experience bringing a group of 7 for lunch. The place wasn't terribly busy, so they had plenty of room for us even though I made reservations. Staff was very friendly and attentive, and everyone liked the food they got. I personally picked the Gardenia burger which went well with a beer. One of my colleagues mentioned that the fish tacos were really good too. I have yet to try this place for dinner, but I can safely say that this is a good lunch option during business hours if you have the time for a sit down lunch.

Lapin and I have been here several times for brunch (I noticed they no longer have the brunch menu available on their website). The food is amazing but the service and be a hit or miss. One time, the service was the worst and they put an automatic 20%. Their guacamole superb and definitely worth a try! Who would have though pomegranate seeds and avocados would go so well! Their food options are light but very satisfying without weighing you down. The airy restaurant is very picturesque but can get loud and tight when it's half full.

I have been here twice during lunch hours. Ordered quinoa salad first time and sandwich the second time. The food was undoubtably delicious. It was not greasy and felt healthy eating it. The food was served in a good plate and water refilled regularly. My complaint is against the service which was slow both the times. It took forever when I visited first time to get our orders. Second the portions were tiny. Usually for over 20$ cost of an entree I pack half the food to eat later. However here the portion is enough to serve a single meal. The sides cost extra. Ambience is overall pleasant too.

I was not impressed with the food here. I ordered ribs and was still hungry after my main course! That never happens with me! My fiancé got the paella which tasted ok but nothing like paella I've had in France or even in other French NYC restaurants. It was also very light on the seafood. We left feeling cheated.
