The food was delicious. We had the omelet, and they made it to our liking. Not disappointed. I give an A++. The waiter was very accommodating to our request, and even took the time to take a photo of us at the table. I gave him a great tip. I also give him an A++. I am a regular customer, and eaten at the restaurant several times. I love their chocolate martini! Totally recommend! That drink gets an A+++++! Leaves me smiling and happy!

We may have gotten lucky because we went to Rock Center and had a reservation New Years Day. But our party of 6 was sat immediately upon checking in even though restaurant was busy. Good menu choices. Waiter attentive enough. Gave water right away but took awhile to come back to take order. Food came prompt, portions were good size and mostly delicious. Drink special was delightful and nice size. Def enjoyed our time there!
