I’ve been coming to this place for many years. The food is not outstanding, but it’s very good. It’s a very noisy crowded place no matter what time you go. The location is wonderful. But the reason for not giving higher stars is that the woman at the front desk has to be one of the most unsmiling, I wouldn’t say unpleasant, but gives off such a Steer vibration that it’s offputting. My friend and I were sitting for a long time talking, and the time came that was time for us to leave the table. But the way it happened was really stupid, frankly. The manager, I assume bounded up to our table and kind of shouted with a smirk on his face. Hey guys it’s time to go your times up. And that was it now I’ve lived in New York for 45 years and I think I know the New York attitude and how people are in sense of humor, and regardless of how we meant it- iwas really offputting and when I commented on it. He didn’t let up at all. This makes me not want to go back.

I had a terrific lunch with a close friend. We had very good food, great service, and a chance to easily chat. Our Server and the Wait staff were fantastic because they were friendly, patient, and attentive. I will definitely go again and will tell my friends to go too.
