    I arrived at 7:50 pm, but decided to eat in the Sushi Bar instead. My date was almost an hour late due to travel delays. Nonetheless, we had a very delicious dinner and the waiter was super friendly!

    We were a party of four for dinner in early June. We were seated upstairs at the time of the reservation, 6 pm, and the room was nearly empty and very quiet. Over the next hour or so, the room filled up and became quite noisy. There was business function at a large table (20 people) behind us which added to the noise level. The food was excellent but two side dishes did not arrive until we had finished our main courses. The waiter got a bit snippy when I asked for them several times and then said he would remove them from the bill, which he did. I think you can get a good meal here but be prepared for a noisy environment and somewhat erratic service.

    A wonderful dinner at Crave Fishbar in Kips Bay, my favorite place for seafood in NYC. We started off with a spicy crudo & fish tacos and a bottle of vinho verde from Portugal. For mains, I had their za’tar roasted Faroe Islands salmon with a farro shepherd’s salad; she had the seared yellowfin tuna with mexican corn, fingerling potatoes and salsa. For dessert, a yummy banana pudding. As always, everything was delicious! Service is too notch!
