    The food was delicious, service was ok, but not great. The biggest disappointment was the tables are so crowded into the space that no one is comfortable and able to enjoy a delicious meal. My daughter was right next to the window and had to leave her coat on to stay warm. I couldn't sit straight to the table, but had to sit at an angle, my son was crowded against a wall. I noticed several other individuals looking very uncomfortable at their situations too. We had made these reservations over two months ago and this was the best seating we could get? I don't understand why the management doesn't appreciate how uncomfortable the seating situation is, or maybe they just don't care.

    Always an incredible dining experience, the food and service are so good. The downside is the cramped, noisy atmosphere.

    10/10, I love this restaurant so much, and this trip didn’t disappoint. It was my birthday, and the staff was so nice and kind, and the food was amazing as usual (highlights were the French onion soup, Manion style steak frites, and a caviar egg special dish). The whole evening was truly a special and memorable night.

    Nothing special for the price. You can get a better duck in Chinatown for half the price.

    It’s a shame their service can’t be friendlier or this restaurant would be a great all around experience. Service is repeatedly unfriendly and cold, as if you’re inconveniencing them by patronizing their restaurant.
