    I wanted to make sure my family had an incredible Christmas-themed dinner experience while we were in NYC for our holiday vacation, and we were in awe of this place.! During the holidays, you need to make a reservation a month in advance, but it’s so worth it. The restaurant is decorated floor to ceiling, EVERY INCH PACKED, with incredible Christmas decorations! The food and drinks were delicious (get the lobster risotto, OMG!). Be aware… it’s LOUD. The place has a live DJ and the music is very loud. Don’t plan to have conversations at the table. It’s very crowded, standing room only for guests at the bars and around your table. But you don’t really care because it’s fun, beautiful and festive… an absolutely epic Christmas party! I highly recommend and will do it again.!

    There are very few places in NYC that are still elegant and yet exciting to go to. The food was delicious and healthy, and the service was excellent. My martini was one of the best ever. The room was magnificent filled with stunning flowers. You just do not see many restaurants that are willing to invest in creating such a beautiful atmosphere. I loved it!
