This is a beautiful place. They captured the spirit of the holidays very well. The waiters were very clean and professional. The front desk ladies was very warm and welcoming. She escorted us to our table and welcomed us to have a seat. The appetizers were very delicious and a full course meal was the best of the best, and health. I will definitely go back with my family when they visit me in New York. Again, it’s a beautiful place to have dinner with the whole family.

The food and service are perfection! If you want a quiet place to go and talk - this is not the plane. Very loud! But worth the loudness for the food!
