We had a wonderful time, celebrating and catching up with friends. It was festive and fun. Service was excellent. Food was delicious. Drinks were fantastic. It’s a special occasion place and you can’t beat the atmosphere and ambiance. Enjoyed views of Central Park carriage horses all throughout our time there.
