Combined with friendly service, it creates the impression that you’re eating in a tasteful Scandinavian friend’s weekend home.

    Very attentive wait staff and bus helpers. They kept our water filled which I really appreciate! The fig and prosciutto pizza was excellent- one of the best I’ve ever had. We went here because it was close to the Nederlander Theatre and I am so glad we found it!
