The service from our server Alejandro was excellent. The restaurant itself was beautiful and well maintained with an excellent view of Manhattan. The food was very good and the background music was at a reasonable level. The only thing I was not a fan of was that the music they played was dance music. It would have been better if they played instrumental jazz or classical.

Excellent food, never disappoints, service is attentive, staff is very welcoming, would not hesitate to recommend this BYOB as a well needed addition to dining in Northern NJ. Menu items are delicious , portions are generous , and the daily specials it difficult to decide upon what to order. Hopefully your tablemates will share so you can try multiple dishes!
