    This restaurant is fantastic. We had a number of appetizers and entrees and everything was delicious. The Brussel sprout appetizer and vanilla ice cream dessert, in particular, were next level. Looking forward to going again!

    Pricey but good food. Duck and fish dishes were a stand out. Meat/steak was not worth the cost.

    As all kosher restaurants in New York City, the prices are very high. My problem with this restaurant was that the lamb chop was 2/3 fat and cold. There was no apology for having to reheat the main course and no offer to send over a glass of wine. It was just sent back and it was not hot.
