- PPatNew York City •2 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoWe went for lunch & shared charcuterie, cheese plate, & Trout Almondine. All were excellent. Our server, Makenzie, was delightful & attentive without being intrusive, and helpful with suggestions. The only negative was uncomfortable chairs. Otherwise, we had a lovely leisurely lunch.More infoParcPrice: Expensive• French• Rittenhouse Square•4.8

- JJasonNew York City •1 review5.0Dined on Dec 29, 2024We were a party of 6 (made the reservation the same day and had 2 openings - thank goodness) and each person got something different so we got a bunch of items. All of our drinks were mixed well and the holiday coquito was a surprise as it was a house special. -Nachos came loaded & the street corn was amazing! - House guac and churros were pretty basic but overall good. Churros were dry and needed that "sugar seasoning" - Compared to all the apps, the Quesadilla was on the smaller size; think 4-5 pieces tiny pieces (looked like some kid's meal). - Entrees (Salmon, Steak, Chicken, tacos) serving sizes were up to par and cooked to perfection. Our server (Lenny) was ON POINT with everything; he remembered all the orders w/o writing them down and kept the refills on rotation. He kept circling making sure we were doing okay and never had to ask for anything twice. The customer service and attention to detail along with the the other waitstaff (servers, food runners, host) were also on point; no one had to wait on food and their turnover from apps/entree/dessert was top. It made the overall experience a delight.More infoTorre RestaurantPrice: Moderate• Mexican• Center Valley•4.6
