    This was our first time coming to the restaurant and we will definitely be back. We came on Christmas Eve for their special menu. It was absolutely delicious. I had the clam chowder, Chilean sea bass with gorgonzola risotto and cheesecake for dessert.

    Very cute restaurant. The food was quite good and the vibe was great. Not a huge wine list but good enough and not outrageous. Some fun cocktails. We will be going back soon.

    Lunch after a matinee is one of our Holiday traditions- this year it was just perfect. The restaurant was packed with diners waiting for tables lined up at the bar, so thank goodness we had a reservation (on a Monday at 3:00PM- who knew?). Once past that minor inconvenience, everything was absolutely wonderful. We shared the Tortelloni appetizer and even though I am an accomplished Italian home cook, it was the best we have ever had. Then we shared the Jack LaLane salad - partly because we grew up with him on TV and the nostalgia was undeniable- and it was perfect. It had a respectable amount of seafood and avocado and was very large. My husband said his Manhatten was excellent. We left vowing to come back soon and often.

    food was great, and the view and ambience are unbeatable, and our server was very nice, but the service was extremely slow but I will go back again because they've just reopened under new management and they have a good menu as well.
