This time same thing happened with an entree salad - first time brought the wrong salad. Then the side of salmon ordered medium came rare. Send it back to be cooked more and still was raw. No one even asked if it was ok and they just took it away uneaten!! No questions?? Really? Don’t think I will go back. Too bad because other items that are brought correctly are excellent. But at this price point all should be perfect.

This should have been discarded but somehow made it into the dish. I really hate places that push you to the bar rather than seat you when it is the first seating and there are wall to wall empty tables given that I wasn't drinking. Had they sat me at one of the many empty tables I could have at least ordered tea. In general the place and the food were overrated.

Consistently great bread&spreads, well-prepared branzino, attentive service at the table and nice accommodating hostesses. Noise level is also consistently quite high:) but eventually, you stop paying attention and enjoy great atmosphere and high energy of the City!
