They were so accommodating. I kept adding people to the reservation....asking for several different tables of 5 / 8 / 5...each time the answer was yes. The prices were very reasonable. Food was very good. I loved that we could order from the regular menu as well as the Thanksgiving choices. I will return. Thank you for making our holiday dinner so special.

Good food, decent value, very good service, but not cool they added a 3.99% fee for using a credit card (without telling me beforehand). Left a bad taste…pun intended

Service was a but gruff and rushed even though the place was empty. The food was average, nothing special and no particularly fun cocktails or signature dishes. I asked for my salmon to come fully cooked, and it was rare in the middle, so I had to eat around the edges. Skip this and go somewhere more iconic.

We had a large party and they refused to split the bill…a small thing but in 2024 you can’t split a bill? Ridiculous. It was a Monday night and not busy so it was pure arrogance. Food was meh and overpriced and one of our party waited a good 15 mins after we were all served.he wrong drink order and an extra item on the bill. I would avoid. There are so many other places to choose from in NYC!
