    There were a total of 6 people attending to our table and yet we still had to ask for forks once our entrees arrived since they had cleared the table after the appetizers. Not a big deal but we had to wait and ask for the cutlery. The food was okay but all the mains didn’t come with sides so those had to be ordered separately. This meant that the average price for each main + side ended up being around $40-$45, which is pretty steep for lunch. The best thing we had were the Parker House rolls with the garlic butter.

    Had tickets to the Rockettes that evening so this was a great nearby spot to have dinner. Helpful to tell server when you need to leave by. Had a very enjoyable time. Parker House rolls to start with are a must, the garlic butter accompanying it was delicious. Lamb sausage appetizer, which was just one piece of sausage, was very tasty as well. As for meals, the skirt steak was probably the best I've ever had. Cooked exactly the way I asked for which was rare. Chicken Sando was very good as well and fries were tasty. The restaurant is not big and can get a bit loud at times but the meal was very good. Bottles of wine were very expensive. Chocolate chip cookies for dessert were warm and soft on top but burned on the bottom. Ask for a booth because some of the tables were way too small for 4 people.

    We opted for the Pre-theater menu. Food, service and portions were excellent and we were out in plenty of time to make our theater reservations. Would definetly recommend to friends and would return again if in the area.

    Restaurant at back of hotel lobby, not what I was expecting. Lacks any ambiance, looks and feels like a hotel restaurant, even though it's not. Service was horrible. Maybe three tables occupied, and it took almost 30 minutes to get a round of drinks or lemon wedges for the water. Waiter was disinterested and slow. Manager was helpful and apologized for poor service, which was appreciated. On a positive note, the food was very good!
