Mom-and-pop partners Marc and Blue Solomon have infused a bleak stretch of upper Columbus with downtown flavor and a mellow neighborly vibe. Even after an expansion, this tiny BYOB café is as cramped as a car on the subway line it's named after, populated by a mellow mix of Columbia students and UWSers communing over French-Caribbean-accented small plates with equally small price tags. There's... more

Chef-owner Marc Solomon cooks nearly as fast as he talks—your order arrives almost before you're done giving it. Charming, if not altogether romantic date spot won't break the bank.

Unbelievable restaurant! Quietly tucked away in the Upper West Side, great music and friendly staff greet you with a warm smile at the door. Organic food and wonderfully presented dishes add to the overall charm of the restaurant. Food was easily some of the best in the city. Try and get there before this place get discovered and remember to bring your own booze!
