   Food was very good. There was a problem in Happy Hour drink information as to what's included and what's not. Apparently Riesling is not part of the Happy Hour Wine list - even though it was at our last visit several weeks ago. Same vintage Trimbach wine. None of this is, of course, communicated to the patron ahead of ordering. This snafu impacted this visit. Our previous visit was outstanding.

   The decor, scenery, service and meal were perfect. Servers were very attentive and friendly. The food was plated perfectly. Everything was fresh. My second time at the restaurant. Will definitely return as I can and will recommend to family and friends.

   Nice meal, okay atmosphere. Appetizers were delicious - warm shrimp salad and scallop - yum! Entrees were also great - delicious duck and branzino in a delectable broth. Wine was delicious - though bartender seemed overwhelmed. Our server was attentive, but not intrusive.

   I expected more from the restaurant based on reviews and Michelin recommendation. Service was not great and food was ok. We had Thanksgiving prefix dinner that was nice. The breakfast next morning was ok the sausage was inedible. Whilst servers were super friendly and accommodating it wasn’t Michelin level. Overall I would give it another go.

   The setting is superb, hostess was very pleasant & wait staff was great. We were a party of 4 so we all had a different signature cocktail, they were all delicious!!! The food was extremely tasty but two poached egg dishes came to the table lukewarm. The other two entrees were warmer but not hot. The food in general was extremely tasty. A wonderful Sunday Brunch!

   Our first time to this restaurant with two birthdays. The ambiance looking at the Hudson River was beautiful! The service was impeccable! Each dish was made to perfection! We can’t wait to return!

   Food was just ok for the price, and wasn’t as described. Very small portions. Many waitstaff but never there when you needed them. Lovely setting. Highly recommend the spa.

    Beautiful location, great food but experience was lacking. Arrived for our reservation and was say at a tiny two top beside a cold brick wall. This wouldn’t have generally bothered me but there were better tables available which I assumed were bookings….they were never sat. This is after I specified it was my wife’s birthday in the reservation. Next, sat for 20 minutes minimum before meeting out waiter and getting our drinks order. Not an exaggeration. My white wine was room temp, my wife’s was chilled. Waiter did their best (I think?) not sure if they were brand new or they were understaffed. Had to ask for sharing plates as we ordered 3 starters and stated we were sharing. Had to ask for some type of spoon to attack the shellfish custard. Honestly the food was great but this is supposed to be fine dining. No busboy to clear plates which made our tiny table even more of an annoyance. My glass was consistently empty before being asked if I would like anything else. $300 for 2 with wine. Food was great and the kitchen was quick but service was so bad that my wife and I had to laugh. Every time I see an espresso spoon, I will think of my delicious seafood custard and how difficult it was to eat 😂 Sweet people but they need a front of house manager (or do they have one…definitely didn’t encounter them) and much better training. TLDR: Amazing food, laughable service. Would try again and just be more specific reg regarding where I would like to sit!
