Ate here with a group of business associates. Service was outstanding. Go for the risotto. Start with the pulled duck sliders. Finish with the cheesecake. Great option if you stay near the Hudson Hotel.

Sat night tickets, no dinner reservations.... so we wandered looking for options. Everything within a block of Lincoln Center had a 1 1/2hr wait...2 blocks away we found this gem. OK atmosphere, great service & very decent food and reasonable prices to boot.

I ate as a solitary diner - in NY at a confrence - and had good food and drinks at a reasonable price; friendly waitress; refilled water glass; enough light to read by and a comfortable place to pass an hour or so. Would recommend.

We went to lunch here on Wednesday, 3/20 and our experience was laughable. We were the only people in the large restaurant and the host sat us in a line of table, right in the middle of a room that is somewhat divided into two sections by booths so that we felt like we were in between two rooms.

We selected this restaurant because it is convenient to Lincoln Center and has a very nice menu. My guest arrived first and was seated at a small table in the sun, despite a long-standing reservation and an empty restaurant. They did change us to a better table upon request. The service was friendly and quick, although not particularly attentive. My... More

Infused Vodka, Awesome Sangria! The drinks were superb. Brunch was great. We really enjoyed our selections but found that just a touch more seasoning would have made our dishes POP. Would definitely return. The staff was outstanding!

Dinner with friends and family. Quite a bit louder than had hoped. Very good meals but no big surprises. Perhaps a bit spicier than expected. Efficient, friendly service. Somewhat more expensive than food, service, and location warrants.

Had evening meal before opera here on recommendation of a friend. Very good menu. I had thai peanut linguine with shrimp---well prepared and seasoned. Would return when in NYC. Check out the symbols on the "facilities" --- creative, requiring a bit of thought for a moment!

Can't wait to go back for the BEST Sangria I ever had. Bartender delightful and explained all the good stuff that goes into the making of it. Normally, I have only one but it was soooo good, I ordered two. Dinner was delicious BUT who knows for sure after the two drinks!

Just go, I honestly feel like it will be sometime tomorrow before I will be able to think about eating again! I had the duck and the steak and both were cooked to perfection and so tender.
