Waitress had old dried stains all over her white shirt. All over! Disgusting!! Drinks came after appetizers. Entree returned. Inedible. Couldn't find waitress. Replacement. Burnt outside and raw inside. Cash not accepted unless exact change. Gratuity for 2 included, but service horrible. Never will return. Total disappointment.

Food and atmosphere are great - and terrific service too- hoped for a window seat since made reservations months in advance. For sure need to make reservations and request window table in main room.

Service was great. Food was good. It’s a beautiful place with a beautiful scenic view. THE BIGGEST ISSUE WAS THE STENCH COMING FROM THE RESTROOM. It traveled to our table and it was unbearable

Very nice location overlooking the lake in Central Park , the food was ok - not something special - but the ambiance and view are very nice. I would expect a more polite hostess… also the address that your system shows at “get directlions” is wrong , please check this out to correct it.
