Luis is a great friendly server. He’s running the front while his dad is cooking in the kitchen. I’m a picky eater. I’m sorry to tell him that the leak soup is a little salty. He brought it back and made me another one right away. Perfectly seasoned, creamy and comforting. He also explained the history of speakeasy to me. Such a fun dining experience. It checked out more info about the restaurant: nothing bringing people together like good food:)

Fantastic place for tapas with BYOB. Tried various tapas from lamb chops, glazed carrots, tuna, smash burger, brie and carparcio. We highly enjoyed each and every one of them. The service was on point. The place is hidden but welcoming once inside. This is not a cocktail place although there are photos on the website and it's known as a speakeasy which is a bit deceiving. However, if you want great tapas, this is the place to go. Will be back!

Where do I even start! From the outside. So I love the cool speakeasy vibe where the main entrance is hidden in an alley and you need a special door code to enter. Something totally different and unique for Ridgewood. Upon entering I was greeted by Zaid, he welcomed us in, was super police, warm and friendly! The lighting, decor, and music fit the vibe perfectly for the speakeasy theme. Definitely works for a first date spot as well if you kinda wanna take your date to an intimate spot. To the food, I really liked a bunch of things on the menu so tried about 10 items. The plates are tapas style so they are great for sharing. We had the claim chowder fries, oysters on the half shell, ceviche, grilled oysters, scallops, foie Gras, octopus, and honey glazed carrots. For dessert we had the be

Bottom line: so good I want to leave a bad review so I can get reservations when I want. Gluten line: very willing to accommodate and knowledgeable of their ingredients. Bottom line: the whole thing is more about the experience. From getting the reservation, to arriving and how well they play along with keeping it hush hush, getting the code and walking to the side door, to finally getting inside and feeling the very intimate atmosphere. Wifey and I had a blast. Even the menu is only written on the large glass pictured. Servings are not as small as they say. From a culinary standpoint we were pleasantly impressed. We will definitely be back.

A+ dining experience. So cool that you need a code to unlock the door. First off, it's BYOB so plus points right there. We had oysters to start. They have a phenomenal selection of east coast to west oysters, be sure to try a variety! The menu changes weekly (good thing, because we will be frequent diners). It is mostly small plates but some plates are larger than others (chops, steaks, etc). Everything we ate was delicious. First, they give you fresh baked bread which was maybe the best bread I d ever eaten. We started with burrata toast which was delicious. Then we had the short rib stuffed peppers which were creative and tasty. The clam chowder fries might've been the best plate of the night. Chicken pie was hearty and very tasty. The pasta was the best pasta I've had in years (and use
