    Good food, not too pricey, lovely server although a little slow. Great location in midtown. This is indeed a hidden gem- will go again for pre-theater for certain.

    Just a lovely spot for brunch or lunch tucked away on 45th Street, convenient to theater. Haven’t been for dinner, so I can’t comment about that.

    Good food at decent prices (especially for NYC). Salmon was excellent. Pasta special was really good. Lobster ravioli was good- though only 4 pieces were in the dinner portion, a bit on the light side. Mashed potatoes were decent- not your out of this world Irish mashed potatoes but not bad. Braised carrots were OK- nothing to write home about. The appetizer, a Margherita flatbread pizza, was OK- a bit on the small side but this is not a pizza restaurant. Finally, Jennifer was an excellent server- checked on us frequently and friendly. Plus, they gave a delicious complimentary dessert for the birthday girl. Yes- I recommend this restaurant.
