Been meaning to leave a review, even though we've been telling anyone that would listen about this gem. My wife and I tried them out when they first opened at the end of '16 and we were blown away. We were already huge fans of Duke's so we weren't entirely surprised. We saw that they were having a first anniversary wine tasting party and we thought it'd be a nice date night since we don't get out as often as we'd like. Wow. What a night. At first we thought we might be a little out of place because most of the guests were extreme regulars and/or family, but it turned out to be one of the best nights out we've had in a really long time. The atmosphere and staff were beyond remarkable. The wines were thoughtfully chosen. But the real star for me was the food coming out of that kitchen. The braised veal cheeks were easily one of the top 3 dishes I've had anywhere. Ever. There aren't enough words to describe some of the things we had the opportunity to eat. The fact that this type of quality food, service and atmosphere are available on 8th Ave. is unbelievable.
My hope is that enough people appreciate this type of quality for what it is. I've read reviews on here and see people negatively commenting on prices. Obviously these people haven't stepped foot in a grocery store lately. I genuinely feel like they are very appropriately priced for what they are. We will certainly return and we wish you nothing but success.
