Food was very good, service was great, and I was able to make a short notice reservation late on a Saturday night. And of course, we had something chocolate! The only issue is that we could feel the cold air every time the door opened - but then again this is NYC in November! Maybe they could put some type of barrier around the door to help control or redirect the draft. Overall, we had a great time!
