Great service! Awesome, varied menu with vegan options. Had a Rye Flip and it was excellent! Nice beer options on tap as well. A bit quiet, I’m sure, as it was around 8:30 on Sunday night. The bar is huge!

We met here as a family between skating competitions at the Garden. The pros were that we had a great table in the front. They were accommodating about the last 2 of our 6 showing up after the first 4. They had vegetarian options. Our food overall was tasty. Service was relatively quick. A few cons The music was a little loud to have a conversation across the table My crab cakes came w an excessive amount of sauce The Mac n cheese wasn’t cheesy enough for my daughter The waitstaff could’ve been more attentive (eg empty water glasses for quite a while). Drinks were very pricey

We made a reservation for three the week before and specified we needed a standard table. We called the restaurant when we were five minutes late to tell them we were en route. The hostess told us people were at our table waiting for us. We said that was incorrect and that clearly the restaurant had given our table to someone else. When we arrived less than 15 minutes after our reservation, we were shown to a high top, which my wife with a cane cannot use. We told the hostess we needed a standard table. The hostess was rude and in a snarky voice said “That’s the only table we have left.” We asked for a manager, who thankfully was able to rearrange tables so we could have a standard table. Once we were seated, service improved.
