I had a last minute invite this morning to join a friend's reservation. I have heard great things…read moreabout this place but hadn't had the opportunity to visit yet. So it was an easy yes, to say the least! When I arrived, I walked around the corner to the entrance on Rochambeau. The waiting area inside is bright, colorful, decorated with some personal tokens, assorted cookbooks and accolades. You can just see into the kitchen and suddenly the chef and owner, Milena Pagán will appear over the cafe style doors to greet you and get you checked in for your reservation. Highly recommend a reservation if you plan to come on the weekend. The place was busy! We were taken to our spots at the bar and greeted by Milena's partner, Darcy. He took care of us from start to finish. I could not resist the brunch prie fixe menu for $45. What a steal. An entree, house made pastry, juice/coffee/tea and one of the house cocktails. I chose the shakshouka, a cardamom knot, the guava-pineapple fizz and the rebujito. I also added an iced horchata latte because I was at brunch after all! We had our drinks and pastries in front of us quickly. My juice was refreshing, tangy and just a hint of sweetness. I love guava and this was exactly what I wanted. The latte was simple but effective, hitting the spiced notes you want from horchata with the depth of good espresso to back it up. The latte in particular was delicious with the cardamom knot, the two harmonizing together for a moment of heaven on this rainy Sunday afternoon. The outside of the knot was caramelized in spots adding this great crunch and the inside was soft like a cinnamon bun. My friend mentioned it was one of her favorites and I can see why! When the shakshouka came out, the smell hit me first. Warm tomatoes, the herbs from the chimichurri, and the tostones fresh from the pan. The presentation is beautiful, inviting you to dig in immediately. I of course opted for the smashed avocado upgrade and they thoughtfully plated it on the side. I like to taste everyone together so I added it to my skillet, and began eating the dish using my tostones as my utensil. It was amazing. All those smells I mentioned before played through beautifully in the tasting. It was one of the best dishes I've ever had. My only wish was for more tostones but I know if I had asked for an additional side, they had that as an option to take. I'll make sure to do that next time! The rebujito cocktail was something I hadn't tried before so I was looking forward to it. It felt like the kind of drink you have on a hot summer day. Similar to a mojito, but with good sherry as the base alcohol instead of rum. As a side note, I think it's an incredibly clever to create a cocktail menu around sherry when you have a beer and wine license. Using a fortified wine? Brilliant. But after my experience here today, I know that brilliance is in every brick of that space. If you were like me and haven't made the trip to this spot on the corner of Hope and Rochambeau, please fix that ASAP! I can't wait to go back, and bring all my friends and family here so they can share in what I enjoyed today. Just an incredible meal and service.

Still would get again. They say they have a 1 hour seating time, so we were a little worried when we got there at 10:30 for our reservation but didn't get seated till 10:40. However we did end up finishing within the hour - I'm not totally sure how strict they are about that rule. They also have the kitchen right where you wait to get seated, which just added to the hunger and anticipation

Service was friendly & helpful, and the menu offers many delicious sounding options. Food is fast casual style (order at the counter, get a card - here all were west side street signs, not the usual numbered placards, food will be delivered to your table. I had the avocado shakshuka, my husband had the lox omelet (see the photo). Despite the large menu of fancy coffee options, we each had a basic iced. It was served in a glass, which was a nice touch. Self serve milk was at a station in the dining room area. Coffee was good, cold but I would have traded some coffee for a bit more ice to stay that way as I drank it slowly. Both of us were surprised when our meals were delivered: the plates were beaut! In particular his omelet was absolutely gorgeous! Now for the flavors: the omelet had a generous helping of perfect cooked eggs (not sitting in a pile of grease, as restaurant omelets frequently are). It was so fluffy that we both thought "that's way more than the advertised 3 eggs," and the lox was thickly layered whole slices nestled inside the fold. Most places chop the lox like vegetables, add it to the eggs, & make it like a veggie omelet - meh. This iteration was perfect; the lox tasted like smoked salty fish, losing none of that flavor to the omelet itself. The potatoes? Fabulous! Great spice mix, cooked until they were crispy. That was a tasty bit of marble rye toast too. My shakshuka was very good, but a bit less successful. The elements were all excellent; the avocado was actually guacamole since it was mashed & there were tomatoes and spices in the dish. The combination worked, except for the bread element. The dish as presented was really more of an avocado toast with shakshuka on top. It might have been more successful to add the avocado/guacamole as a unique base on the plate, with the tomato sauce and eggs on top with toast on the side (as is the way shakshuka is traditionally served) because halfway through the bread got really soggy & less appetizing. Still, the first few bites, while everything was still warm? So good!

There were simply too many thoughtful touches and standout moments not to mention. We recently celebrated my wife's birthday with family at this restaurant, and the entire experience was first class from beginning to end. Originally, I made the reservation through their website/OpenTable integration, but because we had multiple family dinners planned over several days for her birthday weekend, I had to change the reservation more than once. Each time I called directly, the staff could not have been more accommodating. No attitude, no hassle -- just "no problem" and they took care of it immediately. When we arrived, the manager, Vincent, greeted me by name at the door and welcomed us in personally. That level of attention immediately stood out. He seated us at a beautiful table overlooking the canal. Even without WaterFire that evening, the view against the window was absolutely stunning. I also want to mention that they offer valet service. We didn't use it during this visit, but with the seasons changing and plans to return, we will definitely be taking advantage of it next time. Our server, Tyroll, was exceptional. He greeted us immediately, offered still or sparkling water, and brought out a chilled bottle of sparkling water along with fresh bread without us even asking. The focaccia was outstanding. He guided us through the menu perfectly -- making recommendations, answering questions, and pacing everything beautifully. For appetizers we had: * Two orders of Clams Casino * Two arugula salads with pine nuts, currants, shaved parmesan, and an incredible dressing * Shrimp & Chorizo, which was absolutely outstanding Honestly, everything was outstanding from the start. All you could hear at our table were the "ohs" and "ahs" as everyone tasted each dish. After the appetizers, they even brought warm lemon water with towels so we could clean our hands -- another classy touch. For dinner: * Chilean Sea Bass with miso beurre blanc, bok choy, Peruvian peppers & cucumber chutney * Braised short rib with smashed creamer potatoes, parmesan garlic broccoli, carrots, braising jus, and a side of risotto * Grilled salmon with haricots verts, dill buttermilk potatoes, lemon garlic oil, and caper onion agrodolce * Filet mignon over creamy scalloped potatoes and sautéed spinach with bordelaise sauce served around the plate exactly as requested Every single entrée was cooked perfectly and beautifully presented. Dessert somehow elevated the evening even further. My wife had the crème brûlée, which was phenomenal. I ordered a special blueberry muffin-style dessert with mousse and ice cream that was incredible. Then, for her birthday, they brought out a Pot de Mousse dessert featuring dark and white chocolate mousse, raspberry and mango coulis, and cappuccino tartufo. Nobody planned on ordering it, but once it hit the table my aunt and I completely devoured it. What impressed me most was that nothing felt forced or overly scripted. The service felt genuine, polished, and thoughtful throughout the entire evening. This wasn't just a great dinner -- it was an experience. Thank you to Vincent, Tyroll, and the entire staff for making my wife's birthday truly memorable. We will absolutely be back.
