We had a wonderful time at Sesamo. We were going to the theatre and they made sure we got there in time after a delicious and unusual dinner. It could not have been nicer.

We had a short timeline for dinner as we had a Broadway show at 7. The hostess and server checked on our timing and made sure we were out the door without making us feel rushed. They were so lovely and the food was delicious and the atmosphere cozy.

I enjoyed my plain Fennel salad with grilled chicken. I asked waitress if I could just have plain Fennell salad as they now add pomegranates, walnuts and dill to this salad during the Fall season. The cost of this salad went up in price by $9-10.00. My salad with a cranberry juice and tip cost me ~$53.00 today. In my opinion, I believe that is too expensive for a salad with grilled chicken.
