Our first time there, not our last! Lamb chops and a Filet were ordered along with baked potato and cream spinach, baked potato large able to split. The service was great! Perfect for pre theatre!

I made a reservation to dine alone. just wanted to change of pace from my standard steakhouse. I was looking for a good martini before dinner and I did not realize that this establishment is only beer and wine. no big deal, but it took a good ten minutes before I was even acknowledged at my table. waiter was nice enough but felt completely ignored because i was a solo diner. The tall, thin young floor manager, walked by me numerous times never said a word or acknowledged me and he talked to all the other tables at one point an older manager did come by and say hello and asked how everything was is what it is. I am in the business, disappointed. moral of the story don’t dine alone here. I come to New York twice a year and dine out a few times each trip by myself I won’t be back.

D+ rating - what steakhouse in NYC doesn’t have a full bar? - unable to get a martini which was disappointing - french onion soup tasted like nothing - extremely under seasoned - appetizer was $31 for 3 clams, 2 stuffed mushrooms & 1 shrimp—ripoff - peppercorn steak sauce is disgusting and ruined the filet - the best thing we ate was the baked potato, which came with nothing on it — sour cream & butter was served on the side but still pretty underwhelming given the price - half bottles of wine for $40….yikes - the only redeeming quality was the music Don’t waste your time or money here — while it’s in a convenient location, this restaurant was worse than mediocre
