    Made a reservation and there was a miscommunication where others kept getting sat before us. Once the manager realized what was happening they took care of us and made sure everything else ran smoothly. Overall it was a great experience with kids, the staff was friendly and accommodating. A dinner my kids won’t forget… definitely order the large ice cream dish- it comes complete with singing and dancing staff!

    The food was very good. Delicious PEI Pink moon oysters and other great selections. Hamachi crudo was great and I love the idea of local fresh ingredients. I’m glad we came- the halibut was a little too hard on the outside for me but the inside was nicely cooked. Brussels and potato purée were simply delicious. The brûlée cheesecake and cappuccino to finish helped power the 20 block walk home! It’s up there with the best of the restaurants I’ve been to. Prices were a little high but that’s what you expect in NYC.

    Originally had reservations for a restaurant around the corner that didn’t work out. Immediately jumped on OpenTable and found this amazing restaurant. From the second we entered we were greeted. We arrived a few minutes before reservation but they were already prepping the table for us to sit. Immediate notice how cozy the restaurant is. We were seated at a 6 person table and had 5 in our party. Great space on the table: our server came up and got out drink order. Their bread basket is delicious!!! We ordered the NY strip steak that came with potatoes, fettuccine Alfredo with chicken, penne a la vodka, meatballs and roasted chicken with orzo. Also had ceasar salad and mashed potatoes. Everything was delicious. Great prices and a good amount of food. We did not leave hungry. Our drinks were always filled, service with a smile, amazing ambiance! I will definitely come back next time I am in town! If you are thinking about going to this restaurant, please check it out you will not be disappointed.
