    We attend their new year party and we got mandatory prix menu. Nothing was tasty. We dont like it at all and nothing worth for $330 per person. Also we realized some other people were getting a la carte from the menu. I called before and asked if they have moscato which is the only wine I could drink and they told me yes they had but when we went there they said they dont have. Plus, my husband was trying to took picture of me with the decorations and the guy from their staff was so rude and he told us “tonight is so busy please go and sit”. The only reason we paid that much money was because of the ambiance and music but even dj songs were so outdated. We didn’t enjoy at all. Regretting to paid $700 total.

    Nice place with great service and excellent food. A tad more expensive than listed, but not unreasonable for the quality in NYC.

    I was here on New Year's Eve celebrating with some friends. The restaurant was very good and the food was excellent, but unfortunately our waiter Alexandro was a bit rude and made us feel inferior when he explained the menu or every time we asked for something.

    The owner Sean is a wonderful host! Fantastic, friendly, knowledgeable, attentive but unintrusive wait staff. The octopus appetizer was tender and flavorful. The greek and tomato salads were both excellent and would make wonderful meals in themselves. Both the Dover Sole and Dorade fish were perfectly prepared and very enjoyable. Delicious Kataifi dessert. Also excellent wine list and great cocktails.
