   Really enjoyed this DB restaurant. Stopped in around 3 on a Saturday between theater shows and not very busy but service and food were both excellent. The bacon and the lobster dumplings are really good and worth trying. Also had a margherita pizza with prosciutto added. All three of these are house staples for a reason - they are excellent!

   It was a fabulous lunch, which started with a delicious rimmed bloody mary with just the right amount of heat, followed by immensely fresh naked oysters and tuna/salmon tartare. A great spot to hang and enjoy great innovative food preparations.

   This place is terrible. Food is not remotely good and definitely not befitting of a restaurant in midtown NYC. This has all the markings of a place that might have been decent a long time ago but got lazy and lost the plot somewhere along the way. The vibe is good and it feels like it has the potential to be a really good place but it won’t be until ownership finds some motivation to make some changes. They should call Gordon Ramsay and tell him they want to be on that show where he does the restaurant makeovers. This place needs one.

   Food was average. Bacon was cold, cocktails were strange. Entree was decent but sides flavorless. Service was professional. It all seems like they’re trying hard to save a sinking ship.

   Great brunch menu as there is something for everyone. Service was great and we weren’t rushed. The food and drinks were delicious.

    The pork chop with clams and chorizo had absolutely no taste. Even the chorizo had no flavor.The pork chop was so tough I couldn’t cut it even with a steak knife. I left most of this dish on my plate..Although the dish lacked any flavor, the presentation was outstanding. When I made the reservation I was assured that my friend’s birthday would be acknowledged by the staff but that did not happen at all. Our server forgot my coffee until we had already finished our dessert. We brought this to the server’s attention and got the coffee eventually but no apology was offered.The room was cold and therefore uncomfortable.. My friend said that the Hamburger and fries were very good. So was the key lime pie. In general, a disappointing experience.
