I enjoyed a wonderful lunch at Seasamo today in the heart of Hell’s Kitchen. I really loved their Fennell salad with grilled chicken with a new addition of sliced apple, hazelnuts and walnuts. It was so fresh and delicious! The chicken was very fresh and succulent. The server Jack greeted me the minute I walked in and was very accommodating. The chef was very nice and welcomed me back to their restaurant. Great dining experience.

We had a wonderful time at Sesamo. We were going to the theatre and they made sure we got there in time after a delicious and unusual dinner. It could not have been nicer.

We had a short timeline for dinner as we had a Broadway show at 7. The hostess and server checked on our timing and made sure we were out the door without making us feel rushed. They were so lovely and the food was delicious and the atmosphere cozy.
