I have had the pleasure of eating here several times. I am surprised to read other people's critiques.. This is the second time I am writing a review. Tho I have discovered I find dinner is better then brunch the service has always been impeccably personable. This past Sunday was no exception.

My husband and I have lived in the neighborhood for several years now and have eaten here on 3-4 occasions. However, we've definitely been there our last time. The attitude of the hostess staff at the door is just ridiculous. A previous reviewer mentioned exactly what we've experienced...where they say there will be a wait, or there are no tables available and the place is empty. I will note we have a child and I think the appearance of a stroller has something to do with the attitude and "lack of tables" . It's completely ridiculous...get over yourselves people. It's a nice restaurant, but it's overpriced and not pleasant. Go to Landmarc instead...they are so nice and the food is great!!

We had dinner last night here with a large group of friends, this way we were able to try a large portion of their menu. Some of their dishes are absolutly amazing (the duck liver, the pork two ways...) other are just wrong (a starter with shrimp belonged more to a cheap Chinese restaurant than to an expensive place like this one). Food is very expensive, but this is NYC so you can't complain too much for this. We really enjoy the live music and the festive atmosphere but We can understand that if you are a couple or a smaller group you may want something more quite and refined for the money you pay. Our waitress was amazing nice and fast. But we agree with other reviews the hostess is soooooo rude (Managment do something!) We ll be back!

..i love food beyond the normal participant.. the meal i just had was of the highest quality from every aspect i can imagine (and i have quite an imagination).. root to fruit/preparation to execution/service to the satisfied beam i cannot seem to contain. THANKYOU!

I have been here 3 times. With 4 to 6 people. This is one of the very best restaurants in town. That is saying alot....yes it is that and more. Not only is the food excellent, the service is superb, the atmosphere authentic NY and beautiful. I never give reviews but after last nights dinner Baby Cod for Two I just had to give them a 10 and applaud Chef Forgione and staff. Bravo

Had great food - the egg sandwich in the popover was amazing as were the roast suckling pig sliders. We got the pancakes to share for the table and they were the perfect amount of sweetness that we needed. The rhubarb mimosa was a little sickeningly sweet - wouldve preferreed plain old champagne. The waiter gave us attitude when we continued to request mimosas (we chose the all you can drink option). When we asked for one after we had finished our food, he remarked "i'll bring the check now too," letting us know he would not allow us to continue drinking the mimosas to which we were entitled without ordering anything else.

Our waiter was very uncomfortable and told us the owner was on the warpath, yelling at the kitchen help and this is why the service was not good. Our meal was mediocre and very salty. We will not return. We also felt the prices were too high.
