Nos gustó la terraza muy acogedora. No nos gustó que en la factura incluyen un 18% de propinas y no dejamos nada más porque ya está incluido ahí y el camarero nos miró mal y ni se despidió. Ese detalle me pareció mal. La comida correcta aunque algo caro

BAD IDEA on Santa Con day! We had reservations but were refused entrance by the “bouncer” as EVERYONE had them. Look it was a fundraiser and I get that but we made and confirmed a reservation that was basically ignored and THEN told - it wasn’t our kind of place anyway. They should have never accepted the reservation in the first place.

Conveniently located, with a wide variety of food options, reasonably priced for the midtown/theatre district location, loud enough to make conversation a challenge at 6:30pm on a Thursday.

This was our first food stop in NY. I was very excited as the reviews were good and beer selection was great. The waitress Marina seemed very rushed and promptly explained how busy they were and gave us an estimate of 41 minutes on food...didn’t set the mood to say the least, especially with reservations. The positive is they did fill the special request of location in the restaurant , which was nice. The beer came quickly which was great but the food came almost 45 min later after seeing our exact entrees served to a couple guest that arrived 25 min after us. Dumb luck, but still irritating. The food was subpar and fries cold. Luckily our server made sure to have a fresh hot basket out almost momentarily after we expressed our concerns. Sadly the experience was like trying to raise the Titanic and we will not be back, except maybe for a beer. Again, it’s sad to have to lump a great server in with crap food and bad kitchen service but a restaurant is a team and 70 dollars could have been spent much better ways.

Recommend for lunch if in this Hells Kitchen area. Bar downstairs is small so go upstairs to restaurant. Bigger than you think. Early lunch so noise not an issue. Oysters were ice cold--great and lunch was very good. Fish and chips light and delicious, French fries great. Chicken sandwich was tasty. So many beers to order! Had a coffee stout---good brunch choice. Waitress was very nice.
