    Avoid at all costs. Clientele are loud and trashy, service is very poor and no sommelier. The kitchen was out of half the items on the menu

    The ambiance is unmatched in the beautiful townhome restaurant. As expected, the menu is a bit expensive but the food was great. The only negative was our server. We were kind and excited to be there but he could not have been more rude. He was dismissive and clearly wanted us out of there.

    Outstanding that we were able to get reservations for brunch on Easter Sunday. Impeccable place, staff, ambiance, food. Steak, Tuna Niçoise, Greek Salad, Octopus, Deserts, all fabulous It was five of us and each is a picky critic in Manhattan hot spots. If you can get a reservation, make sure you get ready for a fabulous time.

    Outstanding in every way. Only odd thing was the Much Ado About Nothing dress code- a third of the guests had jeans and jogging shoes and a few tshirts- doesn’t matter to me but odd contradiction nonetheless Will return for the incredible hamburger
