   By far the loudest place I’ve ever eaten. I am not a complainer, but this was horrible. Met a friend I haven’t seen in a while, and we had to SHOUT to hear one another. We could not hear our server either. There was not one but two private events taking place and we were seated right in the middle of it all. We spoke to the hostess who did not reseat us elsewhere or offer anything other than an apology. What a shame. The food was great. I will not return.

   Food was delicious. I got the steak, my friend got the salmon. Everything was perfect I just wish the service was a little faster. It seemed like there was only one waitress for the entire second floor. That is never good. Especially during the lunch rush IN NYC. Creme Brule Cheesecake was AMAZING!! Overall, a great experience.

   Im Vergleich zu unserem letzten Besuch leider eine ganz kleine Karte zum Samstagsbrunch mit sehr wenig Auswahl. War leider enttäuschend zum letzten Besuch.

   Thought we were going to have a table with regular food menues but they sat us by the bar. with limited space and only serving bar food. Had a dinner scheduled with a client so was not ideal, we only had drinks with light appetizers but had to find another spot for a proper dinner. Didn't realize the place didn't serve regular menu.
