    What a great find this is in Midtown for a little luxury. Bit of a splurge, but you really get the whole experience. Service was fantastic, beautifully decorated for Christmas and the whole restaurant is just gorgeous. My sandwich was excellent, as was my cocktail. Highly recommend if you’re looking for the full experience.

    The restaurant is quite beautiful and the service was quite nice :) Food was very delicious. We had visited the restaurant explicitly to try Fugu and we were not disappointed. The portions were good but it was a bit on a pricey side.
