    My friend and I had a very good dinner and a delicious dessert! We arrived early so had a chance to chat while things were very quiet and even as the restaurant got busier, the noise level was not too bad. Our waiter was very pleasant and we look forward to coming back again.

    The 80s milkshake saved this from being a one star review. The burgers were definitely heated-up frozen patties. Fries were cold and dry. Service was okay. Minimum interaction, pleasant enough, but not engaging. Volume was LOUD, so very difficult to hear others. Definitely not something I would do again. Our bill for two burgers, a kids meal, and milkshake was over $100. Not abominable by NYC standards, but too high given the poor quality of food.

    The six of us went for a birthday celebration. Food and desserts were good. Service was sub standard overall from previous experiences there. I'm not sure if they were short staffed or some just couldn't understand us. But had to request several times water refills etc.

    The entrées were amazing. So much so that I wanted to get another order of mine for dessert. I wish I had because the desserts were awful. The cookie skillet arrived cold and hard. The crepe was so rubbery it was difficult to cut. The waiter was nice enough but a majority of the meal was spent thirst as our drinks were never refilled.

    Phenomenal!! Very attentive and helpful. The food was delicious and dessert was scrumptious. Ended up ordering more dessert because the kiddos loved it.

    We were excited to dine here for my daughter’s 14th birthday. We were seated upstairs which had no decor, no music and was just old tables on a worn out floor. We originally booked it because of the vibe in the main room. The food was mediocre. When we sent a steak back because it was very overcooked, one of the wait staff made a rude comment. However, they did replace it and our actual waiter was very good.

    Went on a weeknight so it was not busy at all. I had the salmon and it was fantastic. My friend had a burger and she thought it was pretty good too. We were there for the chocolate and of course that didn't disappoint. Overall happy with the meal!
