Outstanding!! Very accommodating - I screwed up our reservation and showed up a day early. We were able to get a table for 12!! Our waiter was wonderful…Jack from Limerick. He was very attentive and met all our needs. One of our guests comment is he was very hot. 😂 Drinks were delicious…food yummy. Love the rooftop.

My guest and I both had salads. They were generous in size without being overwhelming. Everything was very fresh and well-seasoned. Staff was attentive without being intrusive. Our table was quiet until a large group was seated nearby. The atmosphere is generally conducive to conversation. This is one of my casual go-tos for pre-theater dining. Service is always friendly and efficient.

Everything was great. The only negative comment is the fact that the waitress only came over to our table once and she wasn’t even the one that brought us our food. The gentleman who brought us our food, kept bringing it to another table next to us before he would bring it to our table. Seemed very chaotic and it wasn’t that busy. The waitress never came back and we did want to order more drinks but decided to go somewhere else. I still tipped her the $20 on $100 charge but I wish I did. I don’t like to pay for for service, she was very nice, just not Attentive

Moderately priced Broadway area restaurant. Perfect with small and large groups looking for a pre-theater bite. Atmosphere is a cross between an Irish Pub and a sports bar. Service is excellent and food prepared as ordered. Everyone at our table enjoyed the chicken pot pie, turkey dinner and chicken sandwiches.
