    Not recommended

    This restaurant excelled at providing watered down drinks, surly unprofessional service, lackluster food with fancy names in incredibly small portions, all in a noisy generally uncomfortable environment. My husband and I dine out frequently and were underwhelmed by everything associated with this restaurant.

    Not impressed

    I went out for a pre-theater dinner and my party and I were not impressed with this venue. Food is good but nothing to brag about, portions are minimalistic, prices are high, service is just ok, very loud place and not cozy. Bottom line: there are lots of better value restaurants than this in NYC.

    Date night

    And BF is dropping big bucks on this almost too stuffy spot with prixe fix dinner. Food was OK and wine was tasty but wow the waitress was rude. Don't owners realize that service is part of the experience when people are spending a few hundred dollars on dinner? Why should a waitress be anything but smiles when you are perfectly nice to them? I would not suggest this place for family or client dinners as you may be ashamed of the staff.

    Very expensive

    Beware...$55 price fixe is available only between 5-6PM. We were seated in the dining room at 6:15 and were not offered the $55 price fixe. Our price fixe was $89. The food was very good although very small portions except for dessert which was large as it came with complementary doughnuts and petit fores (very good). The main complaint was the maitre 'd. He hovered and rushed us saying we had to hurry to get out in time for an 8PM show. We were not in a rush. He was rushing us; very expensive

    Beautiful but small portions

    Met folks there for business last night. We ate at a large table in the bar area with a really great window view. Service was good and the place is beautiful. Appetizers were delicious as was my dinner, which was the size of my appetizer! Although the food is of high quality, it is expensive and you can walk out hungry. All in all a great meeting place to meet for appetizers and drinks. I would not have dinner there again.

    Fantastic!

    Conveniently located near times square, so it's perfect before a show for a fabulous meal. There are few restaurants in the theater district worth talking about. Service was wonderful and the food amazing. A must do!

    Great environment but that's all!

    We were on a Corporate tab so weren't very concerned about the price. I say that the wine list was amazing and thought the price was reasonable so no issues with that at all. Food was good but nothing spectacular, my main course was excellent but my appetizer was cold (was supposed to be fried instead). What irritated me most was the service from our waitress. I have never experienced this before and so I was very shocked with her rude behavior (for such a fine dining restaurant). We ordered five bottles of wine (for 7 people) for about $1400 a total! After we paid the bill she felt we didn't tip her enough (we didn't give her 20% tip for the wine -- that's not the etiquette and paying her $280 would be ridiculous for her to just bring the bottles to us since we didn't her ask for advice on the wine). After we were done we wanted to order another bottle of wine. She saw me call her and rolled her eyes -- extremely unprofessional for a restaurant of this caliber! I was totally awed by her behavior and decided to write this review on the same night as our dinner. Seriously after spending 2K for 7 people we get this sort of treatment -- this is abhorable. I would let it slip if the food was great but that wasn't the case either. I am extremely disappointed by this place! I will never spend my corporate dinner at this place again. By the way, this is my first negative review for any restaurant in NY, so you can imagine how much of a disstate I have for this place
