    Amazing food and great service. One of the best spots in NY for a special dinner. Lower level is definitely busier and more energetic. Prices are off the charts, but food is always spot on.

    The food was great. My husband had the steak, and I had the shrimp prawns special. I would have appreciated that the description of the prawns included that they were heads on. Although the prawns were excellent, I’m not a fan of heads-on shrimp. In the least, you can ask the server to mention it.

    This place is awesome. The vibe is cool and casual, with dim lights and hip hop playing loudly. The food and service are super elevated, and the fusion of different cuisines is dope. It's also so nice to get a "fine dining" experience without the stuffiness of white table cloths and dress codes. We came to celebrate a birthday and they made us feel really special.
