    Given it was Thanksgiving day, I do not think the noise was necessarily indicative of a normal dining experience there but will find out the next time we go. The entrees and appetizers were delicious! The desserts were not. Service was wonderful, especially given how busy they were! We are definitely returning.

    Had another great experience. Food, drinks and service were all excellent. I had the veal porterhouse, which was perfectly cooked, that I definitely would order again. My wife totally enjoyed her burger. My son and daughter’s ribeye and filet were properly cooked to their desired temperatures. Our appetizers and side were delicious as was dessert. Our server and all of the staff that we interacted with were very courteous and friendly.

    A stylish gem located in a strip mall. Drinks were imaginiative without being crazy, food was very good, except for the overcooked brussels sprouts. Staff were friendly and attentive.. Looks like a great place to hang out after the theater, if there were a theater nearby.

    Amazing food and great service. One of the best spots in NY for a special dinner. Lower level is definitely busier and more energetic. Prices are off the charts, but food is always spot on.
