The food was excellent, could not make any complaints there. The noise level was very high and our wait staff, once they received our dinner order was great, the steak and Salmon were cooked perfectly. The only glitch was the coffee and other drinks took way too long to bring to us.

We had late night dinner reservations so the restaurant was nearly empty when we arrived. Staff were attentive and friendly, and the food tasted good - lamb, roasted chicken and tuna tartar were great, however, the ribeye was a bit tough. So as not to bury the lead, our biggest issue was MICE MICE MICE MICE!! On at least 4 occasions, just after beginning our appetizers, we saw mice running through the restaurant less than 8 feet from us. At one point our waiter witnessed this together with us and dismissed it as "well, they come in from the outside." No kidding! I would hope you weren't harboring a MOUSE FARM "inside" your restaurant. Isn't mice "coming in from the outside" an issue that EVERY RESTAURANT in NYC faces yet somehow they are able to prevent MULTIPLE MICE sightings in the middle of dinner service? And if that's what we see in main dining room, what is happening in the kitchen with respect to mice "coming in from the outside"? We did our best to compartmentalize and not think of the mice but once I thought of it afterwards I felt sick to my stomach. Finally, we felt oddly rushed (i.e., are you finished with that?) even though we arrived over 2 hours before their 2am closing time. For example, they informed us the kitchen was closing over 1hr before the restaurant's 2am closing time - we were still in middle of our entrees so hadn't even thought of dessert. When we asked for dessert menu a short time later, we were told it was too late because the kitchen was closed (even for "cold" desserts like ice cream or cheese cake?). The waitstaff should have told us this would mean we couldn't order desserts so we could pre-order them. Very disappointing and odd they couldn't accommodate this request because by this time we were the only table left in the restaurant.

Very loud (we were in the back room), expensive, poor service (we were ignored for nearly 45 minutes), and the food was good not great. I’d been here before and had a better experience in all dimensions, but after this I wouldn’t return.

This is a fine place if you’re grabbing a drink before getting on the train. Unfortunately we had dinner. We were seated at a round table, in a high traffic area and was told that it was not possible to move. The server was oddly combative, disappeared for long intervals, the wine took forever and the streak frites was like eating a salt lick. I will say that the quality of the food is good. But for a fine dining experience, there are sooo many other options. If my friend wasn’t getting on Metro North we would have left….

The service was slow and the wait staff was inattentive. The manager claimed that he would take care of us due to the multiple mice roaming around the premises while we we ate. I have never seen this at a restaurant before. Instead of doing something to compensate for the situation, which he offered to do, he charged us full price for an unpleasant experience. We took friends who were in town visiting as we have had good experiences previously. This visit was embarrassing and the manager was quite rude. I will not be back nor will I recommend this place again.
