Compliments to your Chef. Food was outstanding. Our server, Cero, was fabulous. His service and presentation at the table augmented the Chef’s presentation and plating of the food in the kitchen. Cannot wait to go back!!

An unforgettable dinner and a highlight of our best friends’ trip to New York! Every course was exceptional, and the service, setting and ambiance made the entire evening feel special. I especially appreciated the vegetarian tasting menu—it was thoughtful, beautifully executed and every bit the special dining experience I had hoped for. My friend chose the six-course omnivore menu, and we were both delighted with our meals. Even the final little treats were memorable—the champagne gummy bear was such a fun touch! We had looked forward to this dinner for months, and it absolutely lived up to the anticipation. A wonderful experience from beginning to end.

The food was absolutely delicious! The staff was super attentive and very proactive in seeing if we needed anything at any time. I personally had the duck for my entree, and it was, by far, the best done by any restaurant I have visited in my lifetime. I highly recommend it. We are so happy to be able to make reservations at this wonderful restaurant. We will return for another visit!
