From the time we arrived at the restaurant to the time we left after lunch, service was excellent. We were quickly showed to our table and attended to. Our waiter, Kelyan, explained our options and helped us decide. The appetizers and entrees were excellently prepared and were delicious. We weren’t rushed and the ambience and view was as advertised. I will come back here on my next visit to NYC.

What an amazing find! Cannot believe we have gone all these years without dining here. Went last night for a birthday dinner and everything about it was perfect! A five star experience and we love that they have a dress code of cocktail attire and men must wear jackets. It made for such a special evening and it was a clear night so the city view was spectacular! Cannot wait to go back! Service, food, drinks, and noise level were perfect!
