    Food was expertly prepared. My husband had the Caesar salad, filet mignon and pomme frites, while I had the filled barramundi and charred broccolini. It was our first time dining here and is now on our top five NYC restaurants. Highly recommended.

    If you want a real treat, look no further. From the wonderfully presented drinks at the bar, to the amazing waiting staff (shout out to Toni) to the sumptuous food, we couldn’t fault it. The ambience was old school. We shared a seafood platter for 4 to start. It was 10/10. 2 of us had the lamb chops (best I’ve ever tasted) & 2 had the steaks (delicious) and we ordered creamed spinach and whipped potatoes. We had just enough room for deserts and coffee. We never felt rushed and nothing was too much trouble. What a wonderful dining experience we had.

    It was a pre fixe meal as it was Christmas Eve but I think that worked to our advantage. The Mezze was outstanding. I highly recommend sharing dishes. All of them were very good.
