Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

This is one terrific bar/restaurant in Hell's Kitchen. We snared two seats at the bar and were pulled into the warm greetings of Alec. Full of charming personality & eager to explain the lay of the land to us.
Their cocktail selection is quirky & clever & delicious. We enjoyed a couple during the night. Their small plates fooid selection is spot on & also very gentle on the prices. We adored their croquettes, chicken satay, coconut salad and fried rice with egg.
Everyone around the bar was enjoying themselves. Lots of animated conversation. This place is fairly unique for Hell's Kitchen. It is a definite winner !

Newly opened and it looks like this is going to be a hit.
Tasty menu with the highlights being the chicken satay, baby bok choy (which has some great spices on top), and the crispy fried rice (pork belly and fried egg addition is recommended!)
The fried chicken (nuggets) are good but be warned it has a lot of Indian style spices which may not be everyone's taste.
Overall, pretty tasty food and worth a visit

Came here with a group of friends for dinner. It was a group of 5 people who are huge foodies and cocktail lovers. They loved everything. We highly recommend the old school, major tom, 7 long years! For food definitely get the croquettes, any of the skewers and oysters!!

Funky fun bar with amazing cocktails.
That is not your usual bar staple by any means! Very creative cocktails, good food (we only had some appys), and good vibe in general. A little bit off the main streets, but so much worth finding!

Went for their soft opening. And omg. This is the best place to hit Hell’s Kitchen in NYC. Definitely a must try if you’re ever in the area! They are known for their cocktails, but don’t skip their food.
