A super cool spot in SoHo with dining inside a retail store or great outdoor dining options. Heaters in overhead fan blades offer a toasty warm addition. Just celebrated a birthday here and the lobster salad and the crispy chicken entrees were delicious special treats, as well as an amazing fig cake for dessert.
