    What a great place to eat before a play. The service was fantastic, and the food was amazing. Was a bit loud, but early afternoon brings out the kids.

    This restaurant is exceptionally loud and busy. I am not sure what the draw is. The food was ok. The service was ok (I did cancel a drink because it never came out). It is just so loud with people packed all around. This is a place for tourist.

    Pre-theater dinner for 1. Had a reservation, but still ended up waiting a bit. Ordered the fettuccine Alfredo with grilled chicken. It was tasty and filling, accented with real curls of cheese.

    Still had a small wait even with a reservation, but service was efficient. I enjoyed the wide selection on the menu; there's something for everyone. Good selection of creative cocktails as well. Good for a pre-show dinner.

    The servers were top notch in a high energy environment that defines NYC. Our food was served quickly, and was hot and delicious. The noise level was a bit elevated-my 13 YO granddaughter actually commented on it-but it was noon on Saturday so it’s to be expected. The level was noticeably lower after the huge waiting lunch crowd was eventually seated. It’s a great restaurant with a variety of delicious foods. I’ve been there before and highly recommend it!

    Amazing food , atmospher was impeccable. Prices were expensive. However, it's Manhattan and in times square, so I would say it's fair. Our waitress was always checking on us, and water always filled. Went for brunch with a reservation and arrived early, but we were seated right away. The food came out so fast it was unbelievable! Overall, it was a great expensive highly reccomend this before a Broadway show or just passing through Times Square for brunch. Can't wait to go back!
