    Week-end for Christmas Eve we had to wait over 1 hour to get seated. Overpriced for this time waiting. Food was okay but not extraordinary. Will not come again.

    Bad - Our wait was incredibly long. We went on Christmas Eve and even though we reserved for 630, we waited until about 730 to eat. There was a line out the door of people who had reserved and were waiting. The food was not worth the price. Steak was a little burnt and no flavor on much. Paid above 300 Good- our server was great! Very quick and very responsive. Lobster Mac and cheese was amazing.

    Tolles Restaurant. Sehr gutes Essen. Super Service. Man kommt sich trotz der vielen Gäste sehr gut aufgehoben und individuell betreut vor. Das Christmas Eve Dinner war ein Traum.

    Everything was bad from the beginning. Our table wasn't served bread and they brought out the main course when we weren't even finished with the appetizers. Steaks were brought cold and had to be sent back. Spoke with the floor director and when trying to address our issues he raised his voice at us. He said he was "sorry" but you know he didn't mean it by his attitude and his tone. Didn't finish our meals and just walked out. There are PLENTY of other steakhouses in the city that offers better service than this place. Also what is the point of offering a Christmas fireplace reservation option if you aren't going to honor it? Also don't use the holiday and the volume of customers as an excuse of unable to properly serve your guests. If you can't handle it then close.

    Rib eye was amazing! Great service, food, and overall very nice old school New York aesthetic. We celebrated our Christmas Eve dinner here and it did not disappoint at all!

    Great service and great food. Noise level was perfect for regular conversation but still provided a great vibe in the dining area. My table ordered filets, salmon, and lamb chops; all were cooked to perfection. Sides were great as well and our table was ready prior to the time of our reservation. I will definitely be back!

    Food was on point as always. Service has really declined. First communication from our server was "are you ready to order or need more time". Then we didn't hear from them again until they asked if we wanted the bill. I know it's the holiday period, but the place was not even busy.

    Wonderful experience. Great holiday atmosphere and great service. Food was outstanding. Prices are high but it is NYC and the holidays and a top shelf restaurant. We greeted Benjamin as he is frequently in the restaurant. I have met him before; he is a warm and genuine host. Great experience! Thanks.
