We had a reservation and were seated promptly upon arrival at a comfortable low table with a view of Lincoln Center right across the street. Service was attentive and cocktail orders arrived quickly. All 4 in the party said the cocktails were well made to asked for specifications, such as 'slightly dirty Hendrick's Martini.' Oysters Rockefeller were truly excellent and other snacks were good. Background music and noise level were moderate. Prices are $21 for standard cocktails with $3 extra for requested brands such as Ketel One. This is a good place to meet for cocktails and snacks before a performance.

Solid destination for Brunch with quick service and large portion sizes. Cocktails are well made and arrive quickly with a lot containing tequila if that’s your thing! Our drinks were served in plastic glasses/tumblers which for us was the difference in 4 or 5 stars. Overall, I’d definitely recommend and plan to go back.
