    Everything was delicious I had a 3 course meal of lobster bisque, ribeye steak, and a “chocolate soufflé” I would’ve given a 5 star all around bc the place is beautiful the staff is amazing but my steak was so fatty! I had to pull pieces of fat out of my mouth when chewing no one wants that and for the price you would think they could cut the fat off. The lobster bisque was perfect no complaints but the “soufflé” is just a lave cake with melted ice cream in a cup idk I wasn’t to impressed but all in all I would come again atmosphere is great staff is great first time in New York checked OIBLOIBS off the list
