    Our visit began by encountering two wonderful hostesses who also stopped by during the meal. Our server, Nicholas was terrific, and he was always on the move - very quick delivery of all parts of the meal. The food was excellent - both the scallops and the halibut entrees. And they each had their own unique tasty touches from the chef. Topped off by the delicious molten lava cake, the entire meal was extraordinarily great! And don’t forget the spectacular hilltop view of Manhattan.
