What a wonderful birthday experience! We were made to feel special from the moment we stepped in the door. Food was delicious, and portions generous. The lemon chicken was a delight! Despite booking late we were allocated a fabulous table, and the small treats for my partners birthday really was the cherry on top. A lovely experience on a cold and sunny day in Central Park! We’ll be back!

This was our first time at one of the quality brand restaurants. It was a fantastic experience. The French onion soup was so cheesy and delicious just what we wanted after a cold day walking around the city. I had the lamb chops and they were cooked to perfection. The Caesar salad was also so simple but so delicious. The staff were so friendly. We were celebrating our anniversary and we were greeted from every staff member serving us wishing us a happy anniversary along with a card and a dessert. It was very special and we will be back again.
