    We did the Dinner Prix Fixe and the food choices were great, and it tasted amazing! The service was excellent! They asked if we were going to a show and worked to make sure we were done timely! Loved the atmosphere also!!

    Made a reservation here last minute as it was one of few restaurants available. We had the squash lasagna, which was more of a vegetable lasagna as the squash was overpowered by all the other vegetables. Not bad, just misleading. The Pork Snitzel was a bit dry. The Parker house rolls were over rated. Our waiter was great, food was below average for NYC. Cocktails were strong, but in typical NY fashion it was $83.00 for two double gin and tonics.

    Horrible service,  quality. The food was uncooked cold probably one of the worst places I’ve ever been to this place is not even worth the second chance.  The place was absolutely empty and the manager came over and said I think you’re gonna have to leave in 15 minutes. We have this table reserved? Horrible in every way

    Food was excellent but wait staff wasn’t great. We ordered a of different items and no one came to check in on us or remove finished plates. More food was served while empty plates stayed on the time so we didn’t have much room.

    Our service slowed down as the meal went on and we did not get our dessert before we needed to leave. If you are trying to make a show, keep an eye on your watch.

    Skirt steak was under cooked. Brown butter old fashioned lacked depth and flavor. We were given an additional appetizer for our food being late (but wasn’t really late). Appreciated it but ended up being too much food for us.
