    The food was really good, we enjoyed it a lot, but the best part by far was the excellent service that the waiter Julio delivered to us. He was very charming, welcoming and made our experience super pleasant.

    This place is just perfect! First we had the Parker rolls (must have) the whipped butter with garlic was so tasty!! Second we had the wedge salad which was very fresh and the spicy ranch was so good. Third we had the skirt steak with twice baked potato. Skirt steak was cooked perfectly and seasoned well. The cranberry pear punch cocktail was great!! All around great atmosphere. Highly recommend!!

    We came in for Christmas Eve dinner and the food was pretty underwhelming. We had all courses except for desert. The server was very friendly and attentive and double checked everything due to the nut allergies at the table.

    Nice environment, attentive server. The fish dishes were delicious as were the oysters. The flatbread were really just crackers. My lasagna came burnt on the bottom. They quickly substituted for another dish and adjusted the bill. Cocktail drinks were good.

    Food was terrible! I would NEVER go back. They are acting line a 5 star restaurant but you sit in chairs that you would sit in at a garage sale. Food was not good at all. Service was okay in that they constantly refilled your water, but as soon as we saw down they wanted us to order and our waitress got very annoyed when we didn't want to order right after sitting down. The best thing we had was the french fries. The steak was awful, burgers were not good. The appetizer bread was good. If you are visiting NYC like us, do not go here. Not worth it at all. Worst $311 meal for 4 that we have ever had! My kids said we should have gone to Canes and had fast food, it would have been better.
