    Mixed experience. No cutlery when food served. No drinks order taken. Food orders came out wrong twice. Hard to get waiters attention despite management being on the floor at the entrance. Food was very good when arrived. Portions size big!

    Excellent service and food. Great for a quick meal before or after a show. Our waiter was so lovely. Prices are great compared to other places and there was even a happy hour. Will definitely go back.

    our waitress just couldn’t be bothered to take care of us. I had to order a coke zero 4 times because she kept forgetting. Then when she finally brought it, she gave me diet coke and didn’t even say because they don’t have coke zero! I don’t drink diet so it would have been nice of her to mention it wasn’t coke zero. When the check came she charged us for items we didn’t even order. So many options in NYC, you can skip this one!!
