    The service from our server Alejandro was excellent. The restaurant itself was beautiful and well maintained with an excellent view of Manhattan. The food was very good and the background music was at a reasonable level. The only thing I was not a fan of was that the music they played was dance music. It would have been better if they played instrumental jazz or classical.

    Great food and ambience. Service was incredible. The staff was very kind and let us be seated even after we were late to our reservations. Week day happy hour at the bar is an incredible deal as well. We definitely will recommend the place to others and keep it on our list for when we next visit the city.

    Great appetizers of vegetable chips and pita with dips started our meal. Beverages arrived quickly. Two of us had fish and it was delicious. My husband had lamp chops, which were perfectly done. Service was very good and timely. The restaurant was jammed, but noise level was fine. We could have conversation without shouting. We’ll be back to enjoy the great food and service.
