A really beautiful and comfortable dining room. It was so easy to have a conversation over dinner, even when the piano , bass and singer were playing it was not loud at all. Nice dinner music and it didnt overpower the ambiance. Triana was an excellent, knowledgeable, smiling and congenial waitstaff. Knew the wines too! I look forward to going back. Its a great rooftop bar and dinner in a lively part of NYC. The food was good, we got the fix prix dinner which came with great wine for and extra $20. A steal!

We were there on Taco Tuesday and the place was absolutely packed! Our server turned out to be the manager of the restaurant and she kept apologizing for the time it took for our food. It was totally fine and we were not in a rush. She gave us a round of drinks on the house for it as well. The food was great, service was great, and the cave atmosphere was great. Plus, Taco Tuesday happy hour prices were unbelievably low for NYC. I will 100% be going back next time I’m in the city.
