“The view is magic… The long northern wall of the restaurant is
floor-to-ceiling glass facing the Hudson River and the
George Washington Bridge… a broad span of glittering
lights… a sensational view.
Much of the food… explores Southern cuisine — defined
broadly — and what might be called elevated soul food… I
tried a fillet of striped bass encrusted with corn meal
and okra. The contrast between the gritty, crunchy
exterior and the moist interior made for a very fine
dish.
Service… was definitely earnest and often
charismatic. Both of the waitresses who interacted with
our table had senses of humor and senses of just how
much conversation we wanted and didn't and when.”

“A haute Harlem restaurant… with its sleek, football-field-length glassed-in front affording a Hudson Valley view [Hudson Valley School artist] Alfred Bierstadt would kill for (with the George Washington Bridge thrown in for good measure).”
New York Magazine
“[The] inspired soul/Southern cooking continues to score high points.”
