  • work holiday party
    This place is a gem! Every appetizer and main we ordered was so delicious. The service is impeccable, and the atmosphere is perfect! The attention to detail in every dish was remarkable. This was the perfect dining experience for our work holiday party! Highly recommend!
  • private group dinner
    Great spot on the upper west side. Loved the upper level of dining, which is perfect for small private groups. Ricotta honey cheese appetizer was amazing✨️
  • graduation dinner, party of 6
    Outstanding dinner for 6 adults celebrating a graduation. Wonderful appetizers (a whole lot of them!), entrees and desserts! Service was impeccable. I wish they had larger tables for a party of 6. We had just about every vegetarian and seafood appetizer and only 3 entrees (salmon, branzino and shrimp pasta) and 2 desserts without alcohol. Everything was delicious! Highly recommended!
  • group dinner, party of 6
    Such a different experience the 2nd time around. The hostess needs a class in hospitality. The previous reviews of how rude she is is ACCURATE. We were a reservation of 6 and we had one more guest. However the table they tried to sit us at was only for 5 and the hostess said she would squeeze the 6th person in. Even if we were just a party of 6 I wouldn’t eat here. The table is small and uncomfortable. There are so many great restaurants in nyc that are accommodating to parties over 5 ppl and have kind hostesses. I would skip this place on her attitude alone.
  • visitors group dinner, party of 7
    We loved the entire staff! They are professional and friendly to our mostly out-of-town group of 7. We were seated around 5 pm in a mostly empty, but beautifully set, dining room. We only had drinks and ordered one of everything from the snacks and appetizers. Sometimes this is frowned upon in upscale upper west side eateries but we didn't feel rushed by anyone and we released our table as the dinner reservations started to fill in around 6 p.m. No complaints on the snacks or cocktails; pricey in my opinion but hey for special occasion it was perfect! Excellent location for a stroll after; proximity to museums, shopping, Lincoln Ctr and Central park make this a great spot to take first time visitors to NYC
