    We ate in the bar side in a booth. We usually do that because the dining room is very bright, a bit cafeteria like. Our waitress who was also the bartender was wonderful. I got the Waldorf salad with chicken which is always very good. My two friends both liked their salads too. One had salmon on hers and had it cooked as suggested by our waitress and it came out perfect. The martinis were made perfect. Really like this spot they never rush you and drinks and food are consistently good. Only drawback is the lighting/ambiance of main dining room way to bright.

    I was impressed to see a plant-based option on the Monday-Tuesday $50 dinner for 2, which is an excellent value. I very much enjoyed the Veggie Harvest Bowl. Besides 2 entrees, it included an appetizer as well as a large dessert to share. We had the Cauliflower Bites and The Peanut Butter Thing (ice cream cake). Everything was excellent! Lynn was a welcoming and attentive server. (The other option is 2 entrees and a bottle of wine for $50.)

    So disappointed with the quality of food at NYAJ’s. Use to love to go to their restaurants. My first date with my now wife was at one of their restaurants, celebrated many anniversaries with them and even had our wedding rehearsal dinner but IDK what has happened the past few years but the quality and drastically changed for the negative.

    I just wish the bread was warm. The bread was good, texture taste etc but if it was warm it would be even better. The seasonal sangria, was great(very worth having again), steak tips had a good flavor, the doneness was a little off but overall good meal, great service.
