Really cool, vintage atmosphere with great, live music. We had a reservation but upon arrival, finding out who to connect with to be seated was chaotic and unclear. Once we found who we had to check in with, seating was relatively quick but still a lot of shuffling back & forth, in a crowded bar area before being escorted to our final destination. The hostes was very nice & our server was also pleasant. Service was a bit slow but it was getting busy. Drinks tasted good but seemed like a very light pour, for the prices charged. Having the option to go over to the club without having to leave the building was also a big plus!

The branzino and the snapper were our highlights last night. we had the sides of broccolini and potatoes which were so fresh and delicious. There were starters of crudos salmon and yellow tail which were small but tasty bites for the 4 of us. The clams were liked by three the 4th is not a fan of cooked clams.

We celebrated my Husband's Birthday with a Tasting Menu Dinner. Everything went perfectly. Cocktails were first rate including his Vesper. Each course was a culinary delight and the desserts at the end of the meal blew us away. We were so full by the end. The views of the city at night are magnificent. The multiple servers were friendly, efficient and courteous. For special occasions, this is the place to be.
