    Terrible Experience - 1 Hour Wait Despite Reservation I made a reservation at 7 PM through OpenTable, expecting a smooth experience on Christmas. However, I had to wait over an hour to be seated despite having a confirmed reservation. This is completely unacceptable and shows a lack of respect for customers’ time. The management made no effort to communicate properly or compensate for the delay. Even after being seated, the overall experience was disappointing. I will not be returning, and I do not recommend this restaurant to anyone expecting decent service.

    They were busy, I mean frenetically busy being one of the few places open for Christmas dinner in NYC. Understandably, we were seated at 7:00 for a 6:30 reservation for party of 6. Once seated, we were attended to promptly but never rushed. Waiter, Genci (?) was knowledgeable and guided us when we had questions. Both the rib eye and filet mignon were cooked to perfection. One of the best steaks we had especially for serving such a large crowd. Meal was truly memorable and nice finish to the day.

    Week-end for Christmas Eve we had to wait over 1 hour to get seated. Overpriced for this time waiting. Food was okay but not extraordinary. Will not come again.

    Bad - Our wait was incredibly long. We went on Christmas Eve and even though we reserved for 630, we waited until about 730 to eat. There was a line out the door of people who had reserved and were waiting. The food was not worth the price. Steak was a little burnt and no flavor on much. Paid above 300 Good- our server was great! Very quick and very responsive. Lobster Mac and cheese was amazing.

    It could have been because it was Christmas Eve, but we made reservations at 6:30pm and did not sit to eat dinner until 8pm. I had to go to the hostess stand twice to inquire about our reservation. Both times the hostess said someone could come get us. The second time the manager happened to be standing there and heard my concerns. We were finally seated. Overall the food and service was good once we sat, but extremely crowded!
