    A lovely spot for a light lunch or snack and unrushed conversation just a few blocks from Grand Central. The food is delicious and a nice change from the other fare in the neighborhood. The portions are normal. The service is very good. I have eaten here several times—I always try something new—and have never been disappointed. Friends I bring here are always pleasantly surprised.

    On this occasion, the service was not friendly and it was uneven. Several food changes to the menu, including potato waffles under many items was not very tasty. In general is a lovely place to die.
