I was there for Valentine's Day. The food was amazing and the staff was extremely personable. Get the swordfish... you won't be disappointed.

An UES Gem!

by mayscafe at Citysearch

Shhh! Don't let the word out! Otherwise, you'll be waiting countless hours outside for a table at this very cute, intimate restaurant. I was impressed that this small little nook could prepare gourmet cuisine and offer a vast selection of highly rated wines with very low markup. For dinner I had a very balanced spinach fettucine dish served piping hot with salmon, dill, in a creamy pink sauce. The wine of my choice was a Chateauneuf Du Pape red--highly recommended and very hard to find! Try to get a table upstairs. It resembles a brownstone living room.

Outstanding Fare

This smallish cafe is home to the best food in the area. My date and I had the rack of lamb and the balsamic chicken respectively and the word perfect wouldn't do justice to how well our food was prepared. This place is definitely a secret and a treat to those who have ventured down 86th St. I truly hope that it remains as quiet and unassuming so I can continue to enjoy the tremendous effort that comes from the kitchen.

P.S. Their wine list is excellent and the by-the-glass menu rivals any in NYC!

• Pros: Food, Service, Size
