   Still had a small wait even with a reservation, but service was efficient. I enjoyed the wide selection on the menu; there's something for everyone. Good selection of creative cocktails as well. Good for a pre-show dinner.

   Amazing food , atmospher was impeccable. Prices were expensive. However, it's Manhattan and in times square, so I would say it's fair. Our waitress was always checking on us, and water always filled. Went for brunch with a reservation and arrived early, but we were seated right away. The food came out so fast it was unbelievable! Overall, it was a great expensive highly reccomend this before a Broadway show or just passing through Times Square for brunch. Can't wait to go back!

   There was 6 of us that went for breakfast and everything was great. Our server was fantastic and food was excellent. We would definitely go back again the next time we were in NYC.

   Waited nearly one hour for food. They didn’t bother to tell us they were undergoing a surprise food inspection. We didn’t find out until we asked why the wait was so long. They should have told us! We left without getting any food.

   We were sat next to a table with two guys arguing loudly using profane language with threats of violence. Obviously drunk as one of them said so and the staff kept serving them. I informed a manager who offered to move us but did nothing to handle the dangerous situation. We declined and left. I feel bad for the other guest seated nearby who were obviously frightened.

   Great location in Theatre District, with great menu! Lots of options: breakfast all-day, big sandwiches, great sides, and yummy desserts. (Menu included pictures which always helps.) Was very busy so be sure to get reservations if you can. Good value $ for the quality of food, atmosphere, service. Will definitely return.

   What a wonderful surprise! Great everything and shout out to Alex who served us. The place was packed and hopping. I strongly suggest making a reservation.

   Reservation made and was seated early. Slow on staff to take order with drinks. Tables were small. Food portions were good. Waiter did not explain the menu well. Some items were not available because they were sold out. In n out about an hour if planning to eat before a show.

    Your reservation is just a "suggestion" here. If you're going to the theatre, book it 2 1/2 hours in advance of showtime. The food is not real deli like you would expect in NYC.
