We had a short timeline for dinner as we had a Broadway show at 7. The hostess and server checked on our timing and made sure we were out the door without making us feel rushed. They were so lovely and the food was delicious and the atmosphere cozy.

I enjoyed my plain Fennel salad with grilled chicken. I asked waitress if I could just have plain Fennell salad as they now add pomegranates, walnuts and dill to this salad during the Fall season. The cost of this salad went up in price by $9-10.00. My salad with a cranberry juice and tip cost me ~$53.00 today. In my opinion, I believe that is too expensive for a salad with grilled chicken.

Lovely lunch experience. I loved the Fennell salad with grilled chicken. Since it is Fall, they added a few things such as dill, pomegranates and walnuts to the salad. Service was wonderful.

Our server was very attentive and super nice. It is so rare that in NYC a restaurant will seat you before your entire party arrives so I was very surprised when we arrived early that they promptly sat us while we waited for everyone else to get there. The Chicken Liver Pate was delicious. Most of the folks at the table ordered the panko crusted chicken parm and they all enjoyed it. I ordered the vegan lasagna and while it was tasty it was so scalding hot that I burnt my tongue on my first bite and then just let it sit to cool while everyone else ate their meals. The matcha tiramisu received mixed reviews among the table - some enjoyed it while others did not care for the taste combinations. Overall, everyone said they would eat here again.
