My colleague from India says it's the most authentic Indian restaurant in the area. It's delicious! The chicken saag that I first ordered when I visited this restaurant 20 years ago is no longer on the menu, but they'll still make it for you. This was the first place my wife and I ate when we started dating, so it holds a special place in our hearts. More

219 is going through an "up" stage among its ups and downs. Don't get discouraged by the whiffs of reaky cigar smoke smell, it doesn't permeate into the lovely dining room. The food was very good as was the service. More

I came in for lunch on Valentine's Day, and was seated promptly in the dining room. The staff were very professional, prompt, courteous, and attentive without being overbearing. I ordered the dry-aged burger (medium rare) with fries - it came out in a timely manor, and let me tell you that it was probably the best burger that I've ever had. The meat is so tasty and it was cooked to perfection, served in a brioche bun and comes with aged cheddar and sautéed mushrooms. DELISH! Also of note, the fries are boardwalk style and a perfect match to the burger. I left feeling full and satisfied after a great dining experience. Would definitely recommend, and I'll definitely be back. More

OpenTable Diner -
Host was excellent as always. Very friendly and personable. Overall food was good,however,green beans looked a little shabby. The baked potato was cooked really good this time (and hot). Seafood,good as always. Waitress seemed rushed even though by the time I got there lunch crowd was basically gone. I did ask for a box for rest of food, she brought it along with the check, never asking if I wanted coffee or dessert. She was just ok. Sorry but just being honest. I’m sure it was probably end of her shift and maybe she just wanted to finish up. More

Visited on a Friday night. Reservation was for 6:15 and we were the only ones in th dining room for probably 30 minutes. Makes you wonder but the food was very tasty, cocktails were good and when we left 2 other parties had arrived. It's not cheap...4 cocktails, 2 apps and a split entree came in at $120 but it was a nice date night. More
