    Ashely was an amazing server. Super knowledgeable about the menu. The tomahawk was cooked and seasoned to perfection. My husband asked for béarnaise sauce and they made it for him even though it was not listed on the menu. The Mac and cheese and truffle tots were also flavorful and delicious. I had a specialty spritz (forget the name) and hubby had his standard martini - dirty, dry, 5 olives) which were also smooth and refreshing. Crème brûlée for dessert. They even put a candle in for my husbands 40th. Bill was reasonable - as we are from LI, and the prices are usually higher. The VIEW!!!! OMG 😳 I asked for a table with a view and they did not disappoint. From start to finish we were impressed! Can’t thank them enough for a wonderful experience!
