We’ve been frequenting the restaurant since it first opened, and my how it’s changed over the years. Unfortunately it is no longer the same restaurant with impeccable service and amazing food. Gone are the days of focaccia and breadsticks, and little petit fours and homemade caramels as part of service. The food has been too salty the past two times we’ve eaten here. And ever since the new chef took over, the food hasn’t been the same. Still, the ambience is fantastic and the proximity to Lincoln Center makes it super convenient to dine here. We’re hoping the “old” original level of service and food return one of these days!

My waiter was trying but the serving staff were clumsy and threw plates at us even though we were not done. I even asked for more time and they still brought out more food. The food tasted like smoosh and had no distinct flavor. There’s no spirit list which makes it impossible to order a drink. The vibe of this place is dead, old, rushed, and clumsy. Not worth it at all.
