Best dining experience I've had in years. Now one of my top 3 restaurants to recommend to out of towners. Not a bad dish, and closing out with complimentary bread pudding was delightful.

We brought 6 of us for the tasting menu. It was our second visit and won’t be our last. All I can say is SO MUCH FOOD! By the time the main course came we were already full. Great variety, spice and exceptional quality. Wish there was more room - but that’s NYC. Tight quarters. Our waiter (Anthony) was a repeat from our last visit. It seems we always come on his birthday week. He’s terrific.
