    Christmas Eve dinner for the Feast of Seven Fishes. Four course fixed price meal was worth every penny. The restaurant was beautifully decorated, our server Edgar and his team were outstanding, and the food was incredible. The Miracle Bar cocktails were something special. Our favorite restaurant never disappoints.

    I have been to this place many times but yesterday was not upto the mark. Maybe it’s the holidays but my favorite garlic bread was not the best like always. It was just too buttery. Service was too slow! Espresso martinis were extremely terrible too.

    Absolute magical holiday dining experience. Had the pleasure of chatting with the owners Mark and Francis who made it a point to stop and chat with all guests. Service with Max was excellent. Cesar salad, lamb osso bucco, pork chop and cheesecake delish. Drinks in whimsical holiday glasses. Working retail during holidays does not always allow us to feel the magic of Christmas but this evening it truly felt like Christmas
