We planned to have a late lunch here after we walked over the Brooklyn Bridge. It was so good. We were a bit full from our amazing lunch that we were happy to walk the bridge back.

The food was excellent. Service was fine, pleasant, timely, unobtrusive. The single problem--and the only reason I'd think twice about going back--was the noise. Absolutely deafening--and not from loud music--the acoustics in the place, high ceiling, hard surfaces. We ate early--615 and by midmeal, we, the waiters, and everyone in the restaurant, were shouting to be heard (4 people).
