What people say, in short
Many people recommend Cumulus Inc, and one commenter says the Flinders Lane branch is always great. A longtime regular calls the buffalo ricotta gnocchi a standout, and one diner who went alone rated the meal highly. Caveats: one diner finds it too far from the norm for picky family members, and another feels it no longer ranks at the very top, though still extremely delicious.
