    Starters & apps were amazing! Unfortunately my steak was over cooked but the taste was on point! & the salmon dish could need more salt. The best thing was definitely the chicken nuggets & Italian Sausage!!!

    Very nice restaurant, connected by the hotel lobby. I love how this place smells, it makes you feel very welcoming. I tried the chorizo arancini and they were really good, as the main course, I got the burger with a side of fries, because it doesn’t come with it, as it should, like many other restaurants. That said, the burger alone by itself look a bit sad on the plate. Also the burger usually comes with pickles, ketchup and mustard inside the bun, no lettuce or tomatoes. I had mine customized without pickles and with mayo instead of the ketchup, as I don’t like them, and I have appreciated that they were able to accommodate my request. My friend ordered the lasagna, but it had a very strong lemony taste, as it seemed like they put lemon zest in it, so not really for everyone’s taste, and also, in Italy we do not put lemon zest in the lasagna….The overall experience was okay, the service was good but not exceptional, but I would not go back for the food as it was just okay to me, beside the arancini. Perhaps the other small plates are good too, so you may want to try it.

    I can’t believe in a busy New York City Times Square hotel restaurant the level of service, personal attention and classy touches. This restaurant provides its patrons. No less than five servers stopped by our table to say hi and ask how we were doing and check on us. The prices are fair, and the selection are varied.
