We had brunch there this Sunday and we were pleasantly surprised by the really good food and quick service. We sat immediately, we had the egg sandwich and pork shoulder sandwich - both were really yummy! The ambiance was also very quaint. We'll definitely go back!

Been passing 'The Place' for years and always wanted to try it but it is always busy. Superbowl Sunday provided a great opportunity - it was possible to get a table immediately. Our waiter was excellent - suggested great dishes and paired the wine perfectly. The cod was delicious and the sweet potato ravioli unique and perfectly cooked. My fiance and I loved the ambience and thought it was great value - we will definitely be back with friends and family.

The food here tasted great but there was very little of it. We thought we had been served a second set of starters by mistake but NO it really was the main courses, extremely small, too small. I am not a big eater at all but even for me this was "bird food" portions. Nice atmosphere though !!!

This is a great special occasion place. We were greeted pleasantly and immediately shown to our table, where our server took our coats and checked them for us. The menu is not extensive, but well-rounded, I thought. The food was absolutely delicious: rustic, filling and flavorful, with little surprises like lavender-essence creme brulee and I thought the prices were right in line. Our server could not have been better - attentive, helpful and anticipating our needs before we realized we needed anything like refills on water filling our wine glasses asking if we'd like more bread. If I had one complaint, the tables were a bit tight. But our neighbors were friendly, and everyone was enjoying a wonderful evening. For a shot in the dark off the internet, I was very pleased with our experience. Would (and did) recommend to a friend.

The food was pretty good. Not sure if it's worth the price, but it's solid. The service was very good, they were attentive and prompt. The one downfall is definitely the price. Goat cheese ravioli was really good, and the 3-way-duck was great. Recommended, but not for its' value.

The food hit the spot and there were decent vegetarian choices but for the price, I wasn't impressed. The bread was not at all appetizing (and how do you screw up bread?!) but the desserts (chocolate cake, pistachio ice-cream) made up for lack of pizzazz in the rest of the meal. However, what we came there for - the romantic atmosphere - was ruined by the inattentive waitress who didn't give us bread or water or our drinks or refills on time. It was shocking actually how inattentive she was, and because of this poor service, I can't say I'll return for more than a drink or dessert. But pretty little spot to try once, if you're ladden with cash.

I have never been to a place like "the place" in my life, especially in nyc. Do not go here if you are not with a significant other. My brother and I went for dinner, having no idea that, according to the staff, this is a great place to "seal the deal." I'm sure they all thought we were a couple, not brother and sister. We were surrounded by older couples making out, and had to listen to Frank Sinatra Jr. and some other similar sounding guy doing Frank Sinatra style covers of popular songs such as Wonderwall and Smells like Teen Spirit. Pretty hilarious. I guess some people might call this a romantic place for a date, but it is certainly not my idea of romance. The food was great, but the atmosphere won't bring me back again.
