This is one of my favorite spots in NYC, where there are literally thousands of places you can go. Food and drinks are always solid, the music and vibe on point, staff is friendly, and is great for a date, friends, large group.

Overall good dishes but everything was on the spicy side. We had mix palate of 10 people and overall they all liked but some who don’t like spicy couldn’t handle it and some were okay. Perfect spot for some Cocktails and shared dishes. Ambiance is a bit dingy, and outdated. I get the look and vibe it’s looking for but definitely can have a refresh. Hasn’t changed since I last been there 5 years ago.

We ordered two entrees and a side. Told staff we had about an hour to an hour and fifteen minutes before a show. Only received 1 entree and the side. The second entree never showed up. The waiter had no excuse, just apologized and took it off the bill.

First time here and loved our experience! The food was amazing but our server Ray was the real stay. He was kind, cool, knew the menu and where to push us based on allergies or preferences. The vibe is immaculate.
