    I can’t believe in a busy New York City Times Square hotel restaurant the level of service, personal attention and classy touches. This restaurant provides its patrons. No less than five servers stopped by our table to say hi and ask how we were doing and check on us. The prices are fair, and the selection are varied.

    My mom and I were at the bar attended by Francis, who was the epitome of a service and kindness. He gave us great advice on the special selections on the menu, and made sure we loved everything we ordered. Superb service. Excellent food and drinks.

    We had such a great time here! The food was outstanding- so delicious- and the drinks were fun and really well made. Our waiter, Ethan, was super kind and attentive, making the whole experience even better. The manager, Isabel, was also incredibly sweet and welcoming. Such an amazing time and will definitely come back!
