Quick service and good food. I recommend. Plus there's a bit of a view from the upstairs windows.

Nice place for lunch. Food is good but you get rushed out after your meal to get others waiting on your table.

Service was terrible, they kicked out the people that were sitting next to us because they had finished eating and were just talking. Maybe if the service was better they would not have to kick people out. The French Toast was supposed to be vanilla but tasted like orange citrus which means they are mixing it with the citrus pancakes. You can get better food and service at any diner in NYC.
