Food is very consistent. Never get a bad meal. Nicole our server was outstanding. Friendly, polite, cheerful, great service, just a very nice person. We go there pretty often, and the pizza is pretty good too.

Food was excellent service was nothing special, but it will say the dress code should be somewhat enforced or should be created of a somewhat light dress casual or business casual for this type of environment. People with hoodies and sweatshirts. I get peoples money is Greene but if you’re paying that type of money, a little bit of class should be Warranted in the establishment

I was hesitant at first with this being attached to a hotel, but the food was exquisite--perfect for a date night or an above average cost for dinner. The burrata was out of this world and the lobster roll had a hidden mayo/lemon combo that had me tossing up my hands with excitement. My wife had the Salmon over a pumpkin and curry squash that was EASILY the star of the show. We both left planning for when we could make the drive back for another meal. Highly recommended.
