Good food, decent value, very good service, but not cool they added a 3.99% fee for using a credit card (without telling me beforehand). Left a bad taste…pun intended

Service was a but gruff and rushed even though the place was empty. The food was average, nothing special and no particularly fun cocktails or signature dishes. I asked for my salmon to come fully cooked, and it was rare in the middle, so I had to eat around the edges. Skip this and go somewhere more iconic.

We had a large party and they refused to split the bill…a small thing but in 2024 you can’t split a bill? Ridiculous. It was a Monday night and not busy so it was pure arrogance. Food was meh and overpriced and one of our party waited a good 15 mins after we were all served.he wrong drink order and an extra item on the bill. I would avoid. There are so many other places to choose from in NYC!

It was a perfect dinner spot for us to catch up with an old friend after 30 years. Needless to say, we were at the table for a long time. The waitress was awesome. She understood the occasion, we were not rushed, service was excellent and the food was great. Thank you!
