The worst experience ever. I would never refer anyone to this restaurant. First they sat us inside when we requested to sit outside once we were seated outside. We had to ask for ice because they gave us hot water. When we question the menu, the response back from the host was not what we were expecting, we need a clarification on the menu. We were given one answer response. They never came outside to check up on us for the amount of food that we received the bill was astronomically very high. We felt non-important not the vibe I was looking for.

Tucked into the heart of Midtown Manhattan, overlooking the East River sitting on this spot is a total standout—equal parts culinary artistry, skyline stunner, and laid-back elegance. From the moment you step in, the atmosphere hits just right: dim lighting, curated music that moves seamlessly from chill lounge to upbeat energy, and a warm, modern aesthetic that feels both refined and effortlessly cool. Let’s talk food. The lamb chop pops are not to be missed. Expertly seasoned and grilled to tender perfection, they strike that balance of smoky, savory, and melt-in-your-mouth satisfaction. Each bite confirms you’re somewhere that takes flavor seriously. Drinks are equally on point. If you’re into cocktails that are both beautiful and balanced, do yourself a favor and order the Resurrection. This vodka-hibiscus creation is light, floral, and just the right touch of sweet—one of those drinks that makes you pause and appreciate what a good bartender can do. Add to all that the stunning views of Midtown—windows overlooking the cityscape—and you’ve got yourself a night to remember. Whether you’re out for a romantic dinner, catching up with friends, or just treating yourself, this place delivers across the board. Pro tip: Grab a seat near the windows at golden hour and let the city do the rest

It was a great experience, overall the staff was not very attentive at first and we sat for almost 15 minutes with no one taking our order. We decided to move to another table and then had to flag a waitress to finally get service. It may have been a low staff night, who knows, but for a Monday evening in New York this felt unusual. There should have been more attention paid. It ended up being okay, the food is great and so are the drinks. You can’t beat the view.

We're glad that you found the food and drinks to be satisfactory. We strive to provide an exceptional experience, and your feedback helps us do just that.
