    CL is an old gem. In fact, I can't even remember the first time I went, and recently, started going there for breakfast. Service is always great (was exceptionally great today) and food is never disappointing. It's a rare eatery in NYC that has survived and thrived. I saw today it was voted one of the best by Vogue but I did not need that confirmation. Please stay wonderful as you are.

    I have no complaints ! On arrival the ambiance was great, dim lighting , calm music , and a sense of class and elegance to match. Tables weren’t ready yet but we were directed to one of the bars where the drinks started our nights off perfectly! As receiving our tables 5 minutes after and food about 10 minutes after that I was shocked how fast things were moving to make accommodations. The food was to die for, the shaking steak I highly recommend as the seasonings was so savory. The sticky rice complimented it perfectly definitely giving that tai feel,while our waiter was nothing short of perfect even offering us tiramisu ahead to time so it would be received faster as it was. If you’re looking for a good date night place that isn’t too pricy but still gives out Luxury I highly recommend it there!
