    We had the pleasure of the manager serving us last night. Everything we had was excellent. In my opinion, this is the best of the locations in NY. The quality of meat is better and they are very generous. The skirt steak and whatever they use to marinade it was unreal. Highly recommend.

    We (5 people) ordered several small plates and several mains and shared for a festive Christmas Eve dinner. Everything was delicious, prepared at the highest level with the freshest fish. Especially recommend the salmon sashimi tostada, the crudo special, and the barramundi. Nice cocktails too. We may make this a Christmas Eve tradition.
