The experience we had with our family was amazing. The way the chefs plated the food was a work of art. The food melted in our mouths as we savored everything we had. The chocolate espresso was by far our favorite drink and the carajillo we highly recommend. The experience we had with our server was by far 5stars . She was so attentive and explained every dish we had. I want to thank everyone for giving us VIP service and making our dreams come true.

This was by far our best experience of NYC! The food was amazing…the staff was helpful and kind…the art and ambiance is stunning….can’t say enough good. After dinner…my daughter turned to me to ask about the bill….we all ate well…including dessert and drinks….and when I told her the total…she said…that’s it?! We should have eaten there every night. Best value for the quality of food by far. Thank you creating such a special place…and filling it with amazing staff. Loved it!

What an amazing dinner. I was expecting a low key meal since I was not familiar with this restaurant and boy was I surprised. Wonderful service that was attentive but not intrusive and the food was delicious! Only downside was they ran out of one of the desserts we wanted to try but otherwise I would highly recommend and would definitely come back.

Food, venue and service were excellent. Cocktails not so much (grasshoper served in high ball glass instead of coupe, “flying fish” in dubious-taste fish-shaped flower vase). Price mistake on check, was quickly and happily fixed by our waitress. Overall a good experience.

Super endroit, super nourriture mais service très très bas de gamme. Attente de 50 minutes pour avoir le premier verre alors que le restaurant n’était pas plein et que les serveurs riaient entre entre eux. Erreurs de commande. Le service est vraiment le bémol - dommage car le reste est top

Our favorite place for dinner in downtown Battery Park City area! Three times here for special occasions, and never a disappointment, in fact, expectations were exceeded every time. Service was always impeccable, food, ambience and quality all equally impressive. I will be going back in a couple of weeks.

If you want delicious food with a sexy vibe, this is your spot. The bartender Ashley makes the best drink as if she is making them for kings and queens. The drinks are just as amazing as the food. My favorite is the crispy snapper. It is divine! The entire staff is extraordinary. Run. Do not walk to go to metropolis!
