Our meal was fabulous, as is typical. Our waiter, Benjamin, and those supporting him, were outstanding. There were 9 people in our party from ages 4 to 71 and everyone agreed that this was our best meal there. Everyone went out of their way to seat us in a beautiful setting and meet our dietary needs to be sesame free in order to ensure the safety of one person in our party. Thank you for a memorable meal before a night at the Fulton Theater.
