    The setting is attractive and the staff was very helpful and kind. We were in a hurry to get to the theater and they were most accommodating. The tuna and avocado salad was delicious and the presentation was lovely. The pasta dish was also delicious. A great option in midtown.

    Loved sitting upstairs…nice and quiet and able to chat. My niece and I both enjoyed our lunch and the waiter (Jose) was charming and attentive without rushing us. I look forward to returning when I’m planning to be in that neighborhood.

    we had a very rude waiter and had to ask for someone else to help us. We mistakenly ordered a spinach salad appetizer for $24 that was extremely small in size and the other ingredients in the salad were barely found. Never would have ordered had I realize they were charging $24 for a handful of raw spinach.
