The setting is beautiful and the service was truly terrific. However, the food was mediocre for both me and my guest-- and very expensive given the quality.

Yummy food and great cocktails. Everything we tasted was good. Service was excellent. It was a bit weird two things were out already even though it was just 6pm. Prices kinda steep but the vibe was excellent so I’m just glad my company paid 😅 will return with the in-laws, who I’m sure will be impressed.

Nice room, but there was a problem with the heating when we came. The place was almost empty and so it was dull. The food was just OK .

Lacked a vibe. The bar area was more interesting. No heat? Food was standard. Again, the servers were the saving grace.

Great ambiance. Great location. The decor could be elevated in my honest opinion but it's nice nonetheless. I understand Valentine's day prices but i think the ingredients of the food was too expensive for what it is. Lamb was great, Calling Banana (drink) was refreshing, so was the caipirinha, and the floating island (dessert) was a great finish.

Food was not good and left hungry as the servings were very small. Quality of the food did not match the price point. Service was incredibly slow. I do not recommend!

Lovely room with high ceilings and a barn-like feel. I ordered the branzino and it was to die for. Excellent service as well. A lovely choice for the Upper West Side. We'll be back!
