    Came here for Thanksgiving dinner with my husband since we weren't traveling back to New York for the holiday. We made the reservation for 6:45 but when we walked in it was packed and we had to wait 20 minutes to get seated. I found this to be frustrating. It felt like they overbooked for dinner. When we got seated it definitely seemed like everything was a bit scattered. Another couple sat down about 5 minutes after us and yet somehow received their drinks and appetizers before we did. I felt like the wait was long but the food was definitely worth it. I would definitely come back again to try a normal dinner service. All the food was seasoned to perfection. We walked away full as well as with leftovers.

    The service was very fast and helpful. We quickly got all of our drinks, appetizers, and main dishes. The waitress was very polite and answered all the questions we had about the menu with ease and clarity. The food was delicious. We ordered the goopy burger and maltagliati. Both of which were good portion sizes for the price and had great flavor.
