I made a reservation on the wrong day and they still accommodated me. Ed the manager is the best.

They're reservations and webpage have been non functional for weeks and nobody has answered the phone each time I tried to make a reservation in the last 2 weeks. Went there today thinking you could just drop by but it was closed. Not sure if they're out of business but they don't seem to be communicating their status.

Outstanding. We went to the restaurant on a Friday evening after watching an off broadway show. We took the "Let's cook for you" menu. The food was amazing, fresh and we certainly will come back. As Europeans we enjoyed the flavors, fresh and variety of food. We will come back and bring our friends for sure. The service of Brian was great as well and the chef came out a few times to explain the different dishes.

This is a can't miss experience! Absolutely fabulous in every way, from the service to the food, the atmosphere and the drinks. Everything was spot on and we were blown away. Every dish was amazing, we all did the 4 course. Those in our party ordered dishes including the Tuna, Lobster, Sea Bass, Prawns, and Carrot cake. Honestly one of the top 10 dining experiences I've had in my life in terms of the taste and quality of the food - it is truly that good.

Excellent staff and ambience. Staff is generous and extremely detail oriented but the ambience is casual and not pretentious. One of the waitresses even had the chef come out to explain how the duck had been aged as we had questions about it. And the man spoke to us for quite some time about it all - it was really interesting and informative. The food was well plated and delicious but pace yourself because there's a lot of it. We did the tasting menu which was well worth the price. Our favorites were the oysters, the duck and the carrot cake. Really great experience and we'll be back!

This is possibly one of the best dining experiences I've ever had! Everything from the service to the atmosphere to most importantly the food was EXCELLENT. Everyone in our party was blown away by the flavors of every dish. We went for the 4 course which was priced at $80 per person, and honestly was the right price for what we got. There is a $100 option which will get you more food if you're hungry.

Random find and glad we did. The food was delicious. Definitely get the chicken. And the poached pear dessert. So good!

The restaurant has a pleasant setting, but unfortunately, I cannot recommend it due to the subpar service and average food quality. We opted for the four-course meal, but disappointingly, our drinks arrived only midway through the second course. While the portion sizes were generous for a multi-course meal, none of the dishes stood out in terms of taste. Additionally, we were required to leave our umbrellas at the entrance, which were subsequently stolen. The host offered little assistance in this matter.

Had a reservation, turned up, but they cancelled as we arrived as they decided to shut early at 8pm on a Friday as they were not busy enough. Not a great way to build up a loyal customer base. Oh well. Plenty more places to try. Avoid this one as you are playing with roulette with your night out.

The food was very nice and tasty and I do recommend it. We ordered tagliatelle, octopus, a salad and gnocchi. Food was good for sure, but my gosh, the 4oz wine pour for 20$ was a little ridiculous. Im talking about some average wines too nothing great. I feel like they are trying to be fancy and end up looking little tacky instead.I want to say it was mostly a nice experience with nice staff but we probably wont come back.

Went here for date night and loved it. We sat facing the kitchen and were able to see the entire process…very cool. Chef Brendan came over and talked to us about our dishes. Our waitress Cathy was also incredibly funny and attentive. Overall, the food and service were impeccable, all of the dishes blew me away! We highly recommend the scallop crudo.

Absolutely delicious food. Service was personable and attentive and ambiance was lovely. Not sure why it took so long to find this place but so glad I did. Highly recommend.

This is my new favorite restaurant! What a unique experience. Wanted food after a concert and came across this place. The restaurant is gorgeous! The vibes are so great here! I've never been to a restaurant like this and I absolutely loved it. The food is so worth the price. It's definitely an experience you'll never forget. We ordered 3 items and shared them. We started with the tuna - avocado, cucumber. Then the lobster - cauliflower, red cabbage. And also the Prawn - parmigiana tagliatelle. Everything was fresh and delicious. Seriously, the best pasta I've ever eaten. I'm not in NY often, but I will definitely be back to eat here again. The staff was great as well! This restaurant is a must!!!
