Worthy of 4.5 stars. I initially had attitude about going to a restaurant that is part of a group (Fox Concepts) but that was judging a book from the cover.
I love the restaurants on 40th street, several of good ones on that street (Chelsea's Kitchen, The Vig, La Grande Orange, this one).
We went there on a Sunday and it was packed. Great vibe in the place. Good decor - it is like a warehouse, open kitchen, etc.
Great happy hour prices and happy hour is all day on Sundays!!
Excellent bucatini with meatballs (homemade pasta)
Castrevallano olives - delicious Italian ( not too briny)
Charcuterie & cheese plate with crusty fresh bread - very good
Bottles of wine - half price during happy hour.
Service was outstanding. We sat at the bar and the bartenders were attentive and continued to refill water glasses.
Definitely worth a visit!
