    The restaurant’s interior is stunning, but for larger groups, you may be seated in an outdoor area. While the outdoor space is decent, it doesn’t quite match the ambiance of the inside. It is equipped with space heaters, but it was still a bit chilly during our visit. We requested to be moved indoors, and the staff was very accommodating, relocating us inside as space allowed. This, of course, depends on availability, and we were fortunate that there was room for our group of eight. We were celebrating a birthday, and the staff went above and beyond to make it special by providing a birthday card for my niece and presenting her cake with a candle. The food was, as always, absolutely delicious. I highly recommend this restaurant 100%!

    A lovely, serene, respite from the chaos of Times Square. Wonderful, though poorly lit, black and white photos from the City in decades past. Very efficient service. The carrot bolognese and dorade were delicious. We would have appreciated a slice or two of good bread to gather the sauce from the dishes.

    looked busy but sufficient staffs worked to take care of customers and have great communication. I think most of restaurants have a shortage of staffs though. Food is always amazing, I recommend oysters and smith burger and matcha latte.
