Our light-flushed dining room features soaring arched windows overlooking the NoHo streetscapes and a live-action rotisserie bar. Our corner boulangerie-patisserie is open all hours offering artisanal breads, Stumptown coffee drinks, a light breakfast or lunch, and a host of confections.

Good as always

I can’t a visit to this place every time I come to the City. The brunch on Sunday morning is not to be missed. The service is wonderful and the taste incredible. Don’t forget to take bread home!
