    We thoroughly enjoyed our experience from start to finish. We received incredible service from our server Jose and the entire staff. We tried the meatballs, focaccia, arancini, ribeye, filet, mignon, chicken parmigiana, filet mignon sliders, scallop risotto, asparagus, brussels sprouts, double baked potato, banana gelato and the spumoni baked Alaska and several of their cocktails and enjoyed every bite and sip. The dining room boasts lovely views and the windows fill the space with light. It feels both spacious and cozy and coupled with the incredible service and food makes for a memorable meal we can’t wait to relive again.

    Fantastic pre-show dinner! The roasted salmon on pesto mashed potatoes was the best I’ve ever had. Wonderful waiter who brought our food in a timely manner without making us feel rushed. Definitely recommend!

    Claire provided excellent service for our pre-Opera birthday dinner. Great recommendations and timing. Loved the foie amuse, cotton candy pop, peach burrata, octopus & creamed spinach. I would eat ALL of their desserts! Riverside view was perfect. Nice touch when the Concierge introduces himself with his card. Con for the location of restrooms (need to take elevator).

    Beautiful restaurant with very good food and creative drinks. While the smash burger looks unassuming when placed in front of you the second you pick it up you know it's something special. It has some serious weight to it and it tastes really and I mean really good. My wife had the steak salad and loved it. The sangria was very good as well. Overall a great dinning experience.
