The Scene – In a glowing candlelit space the size of a studio apartment, diners on dates and small groups sit snugly on wooden banquettes. Distressed walls and a coved roof give the dining room a lived-in feel; despite the draft from the front door, it's pleasant and cozy. Service is eager to please but can be sparse during a rush. – – The Food – The menu runs from rustic Italian to loosely interpreted French classics.

- Pros: Outdoor area
- Cons: The hostess and the food

Great atmosphere!
by cheetohsaddict
August has ambiance nailed down. Romantic and cozy without being over the top. Immediate comfort as you walk in the door. Service is friendly without pretense, and the food is fabulous. Definitely one of the best in the west village!

you must try at least once
by joshmurph
I am giving this restaurant 5 stars for its 5 star service and 5 star food. I went for the first time yesterday for dinner and had such an amazing experience I must find a reason to go back soon. I had the pimenton mussels to start and the beef for my entree. Both were delicious. Mmm. This is a restuarant in the city that you must try at least once.
