The services are great, very polite and professional. Due to our diet, we asked to change the menu a bit, and the chef was able to accommodate without additional charges. Told us the price when going over the specials ( very few restaurants do so). The food is very good, Oyster is the best I have had for while. Fish was done just right with lots of flavors. My husband had steak and was very happy with it. We also had three appetizers, they are all very delicious! This is our new favorite restaurant!!

Beautiful restaurant with excellent service. The historical elements of the space make it special and interesting. For example, we were seated at a table beside a showcase that contained the dueling guns of Aaron Burr and Alexander Hamilton. I loved that. The food was delicious, too!

The dinner was spectacular in every way. Hygge in New York! The atmosphere was cozy, congenial and filled with Christmas cheer. Flowers and soft candle light everywhere. The punterelle salad was perfectly dressed with ample anchovies, the sea bream en papillote was tender and infused with deep flavor. Add a perfectly balanced negroni sbagliatto to start and the evening was perfect.
