    I made reservations a month ahead of our scheduled time to visit New York and had no issues so that. Once I wanted to call and confirm a few days prior to the reservation, no one answered the phone. I also called the day of the reservation and no answer. The ambiance was great! The seating felt tight, but luckily we were in a booth in the corner. We definitely had to shift the table around to get inside the booth. Once in the though, it was comfortable as there was enough table space. The service could have been better. The server sold the menu to us and forgot our cocktails and failed to keep water on rhthe table. He didn’t check on us really after we got our food. The food was good and the portions were definitely enough for 2-3 people easily. For reference, we shared in our party of 3 the calamari as an appetizer with the stuffed salmon, rigatoni, and surf & turf for our entrees. Great food but service was not up to par.

    Had such a great time, first place we stopped into after getting to the city. Our server was INCREDIBLE, i got a lil tipsy just because i was enjoying the bottomless mimosas so much. So his name has slipped my mind. But kindest smile, he had braces. So he deserves his credit! Thank you for making this time for me and my fiance so special. We got the breakfast pizza, lobster roll, and the fresh guacamole! Everything was delicious, atmosphere was comfy and cozy very airy for being in New York. Loved the decor. Thanks!
