The vibe

A romantically lit UWS brasserie with string lights, exposed brick, and leather booths that fill with neighborhood regulars and Columbia professors. The Mediterranean-inflected menu and thoughtful cocktail list give it a legitimacy well above its block. Among the most sophisticated date-night destinations on the Upper West Side. Happy hour 3–6pm daily. Cocktails $10, wine $8, beer $5. Bar area only. Confirmed via official website and multiple reviews (2024–2025).
