If I want a steak house, I go to a steak house. If I want mediterranean, I go to a mediterranean restaurant. Unfortunately, this place attempts to cover both bases, and so does a really poor job. The menu did not describe the food properly at all, making what arrived at the table a complete surprise. (If the meat in the dish is ground or chopped or diced - SAY THAT). Even the bread for the table was hard and tasteless. What a waste for such a beautiful setting. Needless to say, it was empty on a pre-Christmas Friday night, which should have been our first clue. Oh, well. Live and learn.

I loved this place. It was classic New York with a modern twist. I wouldn't be surprised to see Frank Sinatra or Marilyn Munroe here. The staff were amazing as was the food with delicious starters of hummus and Eggplant dip with amazing bread and a complimentary dessert of profiteroles. Delicious. Drinks in the roof top bar were were a great start to the night. I can't wait to go back.

the food was the most tasteless food we may have ever tasted - the chicken was tough and bland - too bad because the setting is delightful but no wonder there was hardly anyone there on a Friday night - the service seemed clueless as to the menu and quality of the food - even bringing it home and loading it up with garlic, onions, etc. could not bring the dishes to life

After calling them a few times, they never told me that lunch is served in the bar. OK - got past that. We had a table of 7. ordered a nice bottle of wine, then asked for another and they had no more. So ordered a different kind. Asked for another of those (1 bottle doesn't even give 7 people a glass), and they ran out of that one also. Limited menu of 6 items of each: appy's, entrees and desserts. That's fine, until they told us that they are our of 2 appetizers, 2 entrees, and 2 desserts. When lunch did finally come, Then they forgot one of our entrees for a client. Lunch was a disaster. And never once did a manager come over to say "I'm sorry, let me buy you a drink or dessert". Worst place I have ever been for lunch - not sure how dinner is but I won't be there to try.
