Excellent service and food. Arrived from the UK with a reservation at 7pm. Walked in at 4pm (on Christmas day) as we hoped on the off chance we could get in early, and they accommodated the 4 of us, even though very busy. Friendly service, very tasty food and good portions . 4 meals (adult) 2 rounds of drinks and the bill was less than $150. Would definitely return.

A unique and tasty dining experience. A fantastic view of New York and you are taken care of from the moment you arrive and leave the restaurant. We got both the Omakase BBQ menu and the 5-course menu - both can be recommended. The meat is tender and juicy and well seasoned and delicious. We had the nicest service and the waiter ensures that your meat is grilled to your liking. So sit back and enjoy the food, the atmosphere and the lovely vibe, because we did - and we will definitely come again when we visit New York.

Excellent! Best visit in a long time. Brisket, Ribs, Chicken, Sausage, Beans all on point. Really appreciate the most reasonable $15 Corkage fee - you should really carry a Zinfandel - it is an excellent pairing with BBQ Our Server Bernie was Fantastic!
