    Fun place, high energy a little on the loud side. We had a fantastic waiter who continuously checked on us and he looked like Dave Grohl from the Foo Fighters. Lol.

    Attractive and Fun place. Happy Hours prices are an incentive! Expresso martinis are very good! Three levels. Food is good but not outstanding. We had the short ribs and the chicken pot pie. Next time, we will try the burgers and the wraps which our waiter recommended. The roof top bar is a real nice feature. We will be back.

    Expensive for very small portions of food. Drinks were good. Don’t get the short rib.

    It was the perfect place to eat before catching a show on Broadway. We loved the martini bar with the bottomless fries and even though we aren’t usually martini drinkers we both absolutely loved our drinks! The server even gave us suggestions for other cool places to try in the city. The decor was 10/10. Definitely would come back the next time we are in NYC!

    A wonderful experience. We came in after a show without any knowledge of the place. The results of our experience were extraordinary. 5 stars across the board!
