   Cocktails are of course fabulous, as were the oysters Rockefeller, among the best I've enjoyed, and we shared a charcuterie plate with delicious cranberry nut bread. Perfect after theater tapas.

   Always a lovely place for dinner and drinks, especially before attending Jazz at Lincoln Center. Small places are very good, and live piano is great!

   The seating looks out over Colimbus Circle from 4 stories up. Great view. The service was exceptional, apps were plentiful for the price, as well as the drinks. There is a piano player starting at 4:30 to enhance the atmosphere even greater. Nice place to meet friends and start the evening off.

   We specifically made a reservation for a high top table in the bar area for happy hour. When we got there, all the seats in the bar area were all occupied. They insisted on not honoring our reservation and no happy hour. So we paid over double the price for the same happy hour food. We will never come back again despite our previous great experiences.

   Brittany's craft cocktails are outstanding. We went for drinks and dessert with a teen and he loved the cookie plate. Servers were attentive and friendly. Guests were friendly and the light show and piano player were added touches that makes this a hidden gem.

   From small plates through a fantastic burger , snacks to a full meal to accompany great cocktails and wine list. Service is friendly and accomodating. Food can take a trifle long since the kitchen is a way away but well worth the wait. Recommend for neighborhood and out of town visitors. A most pleasant experience

    Drinks generous unlike many other establishments' in the area. Bartender was welcoming and attentive without being overbearing. Have not been since before Covid but will return. We came after a matinee at the Philharmonic and Center Bar may well become a hang for us for after these concerts.
