    A friend introduced me to this restaurant over the summer and it’s been one of my favorites whenever I come back to NYC to catch up with friends. I love the explosive flavors, delicious cocktails, and the music they played had me bopping my head while eating. Ray was a great waiter checking in to make sure I was enjoying my meal and had everything I needed. I always enjoy my dinners here because the staff is wonderful and gives excellent recommendations.

    Absolutely delicious! We started out with some oysters and the truffle whipped ricotta, fantastic. We got the sirloin with the ravioli on top, some of the best steak I have ever had. It was so tender I could cut it with my fork. We also got the lobster pasta, it was mediocre but not bad. Finished with the lemon cheesecake, so yummy. We will definitely be back!

    I love good and seasoned food. The joloff rice was excellent and the fish was very tasty. This was my first time there and I spoke to the manager and reiterated how good the food was. The service was excellent and I don’t mind tipping, but I didn’t like the fact that I was billed 20 percent. Restaurants cannot assume we received top notch service. Sometimes no tip or a low tip would incentivize their workers to do better. Overall I will definitely return because the food was that good.
