The food was good but there were 2 issues I had. One, I was asked if I wanted cheese for pasta to which I replied yes, but no one ever came over with the cheese. Secondly, I waited, and waited and waited for the check. It finally came when I asked for a manager. His excuse was that they dont like to rush customers. However, I had declined dessert and my plate had been taken away already so that should've been the cue to bring the check. It took 30 minutes. The manager took of the glass of wine but I was very annoyed and did not leave a tip. First and last time for that place.

Just ok. Nothing special. Food was good, nothing was bad. But nothing was like “wow” either. The lamb chops were one of the best things.

Wonderful service and beautiful room. Noise level was high but it was a Friday night in NYC! Food was excellent- we had the delicious meatballs, fresh and fluffy caesar salad, mushroom lasagne, and a couple of specials. All in all a wonderful dinner!
