    I was there with my wife for her birthday before a show. Dinner was good and service was excellent!. They do charge for any and everything they give you though. Even a small extra yogurt was charged on the bill. But all in all we enjoyed the experience!

    Food was very good. I haven't had such sweet tomatoes in a long time. Noise level is always a problem at the restaurant; but eating in the small room made it a pleasant experience.

    $100 for three apps and one entree and one drink (no alcohol). A skinny unsweetened iced tea costs $7 (you pay for refills). Probably the most outrageous prices in NYC.

    While the food was tasty and nicely presented, the portions were small. The service was perhaps influenced by the fact that the restaurant was busy but it was fair at best. The ambient noise level is very high at peak serving time.
