I didn’t know what to expect when I made a reservation for myself & five of my friends to celebrate my 60th birthday but I was in for the best time. As soon as you walk in you are struck with the elegance of the bar area. Wait staff were very helpful & the view of the East River & Queens was stunning. We were treated incredibly well by our waitress, Elizabeth. The food was amazing & inventive. I would have liked the bar to have more choices, such as I would have loved a kir royale but that wasn’t available. Even though, we had a fabulous time.

Everything was so lovely! The wine selection, the food,, and the atmosphere. The only con of our experience was one of the servers had a bit too much attitude. She would snap our of exasperation and was so visibly annoyed at the table while we were just trying to have a good time. The saving grace of the service was this wonderful Argentinian man who was so jovial and replaced her in the service at a certain point. Other than that, highly recommend!
