We told the waiter we had to be at a 7 pm Broadway Show. Seated at 5pm and had to put cash down and leave at 6:30 pm before our desert was served. Waiter had time to lean against the wall on his phone but did not ensure we could eat our entire one price meal.

Food was excellent. We had a late reservation, so crowding was not an issue, nor was getting out in time for the theatre. Enjoy!

Food was good, service was not good. Waited a very long time to get our drink order even though restaurant was not crowded at all. Once we finally got our drinks the waiter asked for our order and walked away. Food came out and was good. Noticed that the waiter had about 4 tables in our area & that the 2 tables next to us were told the specials that we were never told. Also, had to flag him down for a dessert menu which he never brought to us. We finally asked for the check to leave. Overall food was good, hostess very sweet, but unfortunately our waiter was not very attentive.

A shocking bad restaurant. The food was pretty abysmal - bland, unappetizing and overly priced. There are too many better choices in the theater district.

Have eaten here multiple times, but this latest visit was a major disappointment and I won’t be in a rush to return anytime soon. We arrived at 4:45 pm and needed to make a 7 pm show. We ordered and received drinks and appetizers pretty promptly. But by 6 pm we hadn’t received entrees. Our server returned only once to say the delay was due to a party taking place. Meanwhile, others seated after us were finishing their meals. Flagged down a manager, who did get us our food within 5-10 minutes. But we needed to rush through, couldn’t even think about dessert. Pretty lousy experience for a $350 meal.
