Great meal as usual. Some menu changes that are my favorites are disappointing: duck no longer on the menu and the lobster risotto is no longer paired with the scallops.

Always a great place well above the traffic on the street below. The level of activitity varies greatly from day to day depending on shows in the theater district. The menu is very varied and is sure to have something to please everyone. Service was excellent, just the right pace of a business dinner.

Val was out server and he was great. He was always on top of things. The pumpkin soup was amazing. The 3 cheese ravioli was delicious . The Caesar salad was a little blah but certainly didn’t ruin the dinner. The view is incredible. I’ll definitely go back!

Great location near theatres. Perfect for apps and drinks (or entrees) before a show. Butternut Squash soup was excellent! Waiter/ service was also good.
