From the moment I stepped through the front door I was warmly greeted and shown my table. This was not my first visit and it NEVER disappoints, EVER. The waiter was attentive and the gentleman in charge of refilling my water glass never let it be empty. The chicken and Caesar are addictive. One of my friends who is not a big chicken eater thought it was outstanding. It can be loud but who cares when the experience is as good as it always is. Thank You Zuni staff

Everything about 54 Mint was excellent. Sadly, we were in a bit of a hurry to get to the theater and couldn't stay as long as we would have liked; but our server made sure that everything was served efficiently and professionally so that we could leave on time. The main reason for this review, however, is to share that their homemade gluten free pasta was incredible. It is the best pasta dish I have had in the United States, and is rivaled only by one other dish I had in Rome itself. Thank you, 54 Mint. We will be recommending this restaurant to others and we will be back!
