It’s such a comfortable spot for a meal before a performance across the street at Lincoln Center. The food, ambiance and service have never disappointed me (us). We are beginning to feel like regulars sitting at our requested table each time. Dining there is another type of performance to enjoy. A class act! It has been around for a while judging from the discolored ceiling tiles.

I thoroughly enjoy the food and the ambiance. My date and I always seem to get the same table and that also feels special. I had the Mexican chicken soup. It was delicious and full of chicken and chunks of avocado and other vegetables. It was a meal onto itself and I love their margaritas. I highly recommend Maz Mezcal.
