    Yeah, I am sure they will sell a lot of that! Has anyone gone in there? Its a nice place but the manager ( maybe owner) seems like a jerk.

    and here i thought that only farmed fish eggs could be sold here anymore. is this a pre-embargo stash from a cold box somewhere? or just a menu entry designed to position the restaurant as high-end (and that they’d be “out of” if a patron requested it)?

      Probably. But the affectation is a total turn off. Pretention is a bad way to build business. The owner should take a tip from the previous occupant of that space. Charles, who owned Josefina’s. He made a point of stopping to chat with patrons Made you feel welcome and part of the landscape. Ditch the caviar and sell the fish instead. It’s a lot cheaper.

        The owners of the restaurant are actually very cordial and responsive to customer feedback. I think they do a great job of making everyone feel welcomed.

    Mama Mia! I’m not sure anyone is looking to spend almost $200 for an OUNCE of Caviar, in the BRONX/NoMa/Riverdale. Manhattan, at a glitzy restaurant, on a special occasion, perhaps. But on Johnson Ave? I’m mean REALLY?? The owner needs to rethink a bit…

    I really enjoyed my dinner here. I thought the quality of the food was manhattan like — meaning I don’t have to drive into manhattan to get a well prepared inventive meal. Everything we had was fresh and well seasoned and the waiter knew a lot about the food. The smokey margarita is a hit with me (and my husband, who thought it was a very manly margarita). I will definitely go back and will try it casually for drinks and appetizers as well. I don’t know who the owner is to speak to the comments above but there was a gentleman doing his rounds asking everyone’s status throughout our dining experience.
