    Great vibe - upscale decor with a family friendly vibe at lunch time. Great location, nice menu and fun drink. Awesome outdoor patio overlooking the lake. Staff were all so friendly and very attentive. One small miss on our order was quickly identified and fixed. Excellent experience. Highly recommend.

    A Great escape from the street chaos of Times Square. Very pleasant staff. The food was great. We’ve been a regular when coming to NYC for theatre.

    We hosted a customer dinner here with 32 folks in attendance. Each person left with a smile! The Hits 2 menu absolutely DELIVERED. From the opening apps to the Wagyu presentation to mains and wrapping up with desserts - not a plate was left empty. The staff went above and beyond to make sure drinks were filled, guests were taken care, and ensured everyone was able to enjoy themselves! Daniel, the manager onsite that day, was stellar. He ensured we were taken care of and service was exceptional. Every guest left full. It was the perfect venue to wrap up our conference. Thank you all that made the evening possible!

    Took my in laws here for a combo late Mother’s Day/early Father’s Day and it was excellent! Beautiful views, great service and the food was phenomenal. I got the cauliflower entree bc I’m vegan and it was perfect. Great drink menu, I love anyplace that carries Lillet Blanc. We’ll definitely be back.
