    Nice environment, attentive server. The fish dishes were delicious as were the oysters. The flatbread were really just crackers. My lasagna came burnt on the bottom. They quickly substituted for another dish and adjusted the bill. Cocktail drinks were good.

    Food was terrible! I would NEVER go back. They are acting line a 5 star restaurant but you sit in chairs that you would sit in at a garage sale. Food was not good at all. Service was okay in that they constantly refilled your water, but as soon as we saw down they wanted us to order and our waitress got very annoyed when we didn't want to order right after sitting down. The best thing we had was the french fries. The steak was awful, burgers were not good. The appetizer bread was good. If you are visiting NYC like us, do not go here. Not worth it at all. Worst $311 meal for 4 that we have ever had! My kids said we should have gone to Canes and had fast food, it would have been better.

    Unfortunately the service wasn’t good for many reasons. They were rude to my mom.

    The 5p seating with the theater prex fixe was spot on! The burrata and endive salad were very well done, and the chicken and steak were perfect. Well timed, good value, professional service - and we were check closed and exiting the restaurant at 630, in perfect time to walk to our show. Definitely recommend (and I’m hard to please).

    The Alderman was amazing! Our server Kara was very knowledgeable and every single dish we tried was fantastic. We really enjoyed the drinks and went back again for more later. Great ambiance and beautiful dining room. Everyone we interacted with was friendly and helpful!
