The setting offered stunning views of NYC, blending coziness with elegance. The menu featured classic dishes made with care, complemented by specials. Cocktails were expertly crafted, balanced in flavor. A tasting of appetizers, entrees, and desserts impressed, with highlights including strip steak, salmon with succotash, pork chop with figs, and lasagna. Desserts, especially the unique green tea crème brûlée and tiramisu with espresso gelato, were memorable. Service was attentive and enthusiastic, making for a fantastic overall experience.

We spent Christmas Eve with extended family, enjoying a late dinner. The service was attentive and friendly but not intrusive. The food was prepared to each person's liking. We had one incorrect order, and they quickly and agreeably corrected it. It was a delightful way to spend time together.

Wonderful experience. Our first time visiting this restaurant. Service was excellent. Bison meatballs and baked clams as appetizers were delicious. Rib eye steak and short rib ragu was mouthwatering and cooked to perfection. Desserts were excellent as well. One suggestion - our waitress saw me using my phone for light. She brought me a little lamp. It was wonderful and suggest having at all tables since it was a little dark in some areas of the restaurant. I shared it with the couple at the next table so they could see their dessert. lol! Ambiance is definitely warm and cozy feeling. Good for date nights. But a little loud.
