    The House. We love it!

    Me and my girlfriends have been coming to The House ever since they opened 5 years ago. We love to come eat at the bar..such a beautiful atmosphere by the marble fire place! ....The food is great...one of my absolute favorites is the Wild Boar Lasagna...best i've ever had. So much flavor. My friend had the Tile Fish which was so fresh and delicious flavors. The brussel sprouts with bacon lardons were great as well. In the summer we sit on the patio all the time to grab drinks. It's so cozy and fun! we love it here!

    Service was a huge let down....

    I was so looking forward to eating at this restaurant with my husband and 2 other couples. The waitress didnt advise us to order any sides so when my husbands lamb chops came there were literally 2 lamb chops on the plate. That's it! It was too small even for an appetizer portion but it was a main course. The waitress didnt return to our table until he had eaten the lamb and by then he had asked the bus boy to get him a side of potatoes, which came after the "2" lamb chops were eaten. My lobster sandwich was very basic (regular sliced bread - nothing fancy). Definately will not be returning....

    Poor service, appalling waiter

    I went to the House last evening with friends. The evening started off well. My meal, lasagna, arrived lukewarm, so I sent it back. By the time my dinner companions had finished their entrees the lasagna hadn't reappeared. Notifying the waiter, I got no apology, but he skittered off, presumably to check, then came back without a word and continued to wait on other customers. I then canceled the order and asked to speak to the manager, who was apologetic. The waiter insisted that it had only been two minutes since I sent the lasagna back, which I denied. As I returned to my table the waiter insulted me across the room, audible to anyone who was listening (fortunately, few people were). I went back and reported this to the manager, who comped us two drinks and offered dessert (which we declined). My friends all gave the food mediocre ratings. This place could be good, but someone is taking their eye off the ball.

    Go for the Truffle Mac n'Cheese!

    This is listed as one of the most romantic restaurants in New York City. Perhaps this was a night when the waiters were in charge of the music since the thrashing lounge music was a disturbing presence throughout the meal, all but eliminating any chance of a romantic atmosphere! the food, however, was spectacular. I nearly swooned over the truffle mac 'n cheese dish! Another disturbing factor was the waiter bringing the check while we were still eating our dessert. It was not asked for and is a sign of a poorly trained staff. The owner needs to hang out at his own place a little more often would be my take on things.

    Absolutely wonderful

    Found this restaurant by accident. What a delightful accident. The food was delicious but most importantly the service was superb. Wine was recommended by our waiter, with no regrets, food was absolutely delicious, felt like a child and wanted to hmmm. Great Experience!

    The house is certainly not going to be our home

    The place is cozy on the inside, with nice decor. The menu is quite limited. The portions are very small which leaves you still hungry after spending a small ransom on the overall bill. The food was good but not fantastic. The drinks are not worth the price at all. The service was just ok and the server we had really was not very personable. I would remind everone that NYC has so many restaurants that provide such a better "bang for you buck" in addition to appreciating your business a bit more in many aspects. By the way, We dine in New York one to two times a week and have been for over ten years.
