Our favorite things were the latkes with cream and trout roe, they do latkes very well, and babka French toast. Overall, we liked it and would go back for just for the latkes and cocktails.
I went for brunch on a Sunday and it was incredible. We got the latkes with lox, brisket corned beef, and babka French toast (that was our favorite). Everything was delicious! The staff were very friendly and the service was so quick. Will definitely be returning to try dinner!
