Wouldn’t go back. Food was definitely overpriced for the poor quality. I hope they can improve because I like to see small business succeed.

A.O.C. East is a great restaurant on the upper east side. They have happy hour but should have a few choices on the wine selection during that time. Otherwise, it is a great choice and the staff are very friendly!
