    Food, atmosphere and service 10/10. The chopped autumn salad and saffron coconut rice pudding are a must. Special shoutout to Annie for being an incredible server! Excited to be seated with her again in the near future.

    One of favorite places to celebrate a birthday or our anniversary. They have a parking lot it you can valet park. The restaurant is right on the water & you have floor to ceiling windows to see the beautiful buildings across the river in Manhattan. The service is always to notch. The severs are always attentive & so friendly & accommodating. And the food is always so delicious. Cocktails & wine. We had the Kim chee calamari & vegetables to start so good. My husband & I had the prime rib with mashed potatoes & my son had the filet mignon. Again so delicious & you have to finish the meal with the lava cake, they are famous for it! A must go to spot & you will not be disappointed.

    My sister and I are having a Girl's Weekend and we came here for brunch. We reserved an igloo and it was so adorable, heated nicely, and such a nice space. The only thing I would comment negatively on was the music--so loud. The host stand was amazing and Adam, our server, was fantastic. It'a a beautiful space with a great menu. We had a wonderful time.

    Staff was very friendly and joyful. Food and drinks were great. The music wasn't as loud as I anticipated, assuming it was because it wasn't too busy. No complaints.
