    The food was delicious (our party had a Caesar, & mozzarella app to start, veal, chicken and two pasta dishes, then tiramisu). The service was impeccable. We love the old school vibe of the place with black tie waiters, white tablecloths, coat check girl, and pics of celebs lining the halls. Lovely Christmas decorations made for a warm and festive time. I was just sorry we weren’t there on a night with the piano player because I know from past visits that really brings the dining room alive and makes everything lively and festive. This place is reliably good and a standby for us in the city.

    The 5p seating with the theater prex fixe was spot on! The burrata and endive salad were very well done, and the chicken and steak were perfect. Well timed, good value, professional service - and we were check closed and exiting the restaurant at 630, in perfect time to walk to our show. Definitely recommend (and I’m hard to please).
