    It's "ok." Ambience is better than the experience. 24-hour short rib in filo dough - awesome. Actually, incredible. Duck, utterly terrible (tough, little meat, no value). Service was slow. Finished dishes sat. Table not hand swept between courses. Bread service (not hot) tried to be creative but not practical - not enough butter or oil. Wine arrived halfway through the meal. Maître d' didn't really care, cold and inattentive. Servers were nice but, again, inattentive to details even when only 40% of tables were occupied. When ordering a whiskey sour the waiter just walked away ... didn't let me request the brand of whiskey (lack of training). The empty glass sat on the table during the entire meal. For a Christmas season meal relative to price, there are other choices in the city to explore. Management can make it better with dedicated attention.

    The Restuarant did not honor the 1,000 points for opentable. I made the reservation because of the points and not to get them is NOT FAIR!
