    The food was good but the service was horrible! Waiter didn’t come back to table and was sarcastic when he took our order!

    The food was disappointing. I ordered a Reuben sandwich that was supposed to be grilled and was toasted and soggy. French fries were cold. The cheesecake was OK. The restaurant is a tourist trap. I won’t be back.

    First time there - great menu! The food was delicious and the staff was attentive and very gracious. Nice walk from Broadway following a matinee.
