    Excellent food and great service. Beware the front of the restaurant and bar area is quite chilly. They could really use one of those winter barrier doors most restaurants in NYC have.

    This is a review for dining upstairs. We were seated immediately upon arrival on a Tuesday at 7:15pm. The service and food were excellent. We were greeted at our table quickly, offered water, and provided menus. Soon after that, our drink orders were taken. Our appetizer and dinner orders were taken upon receipt of our drinks. The plates and utensils were replaced for every course of the meal. While the water glasses on the table were small, the staff was very attentive to keeping them full. The area in which we were seated had several other full tables, but I didn't find it to be loud or disruptive to our own table conversation. The lighting was low, with a tea light at each table, but I was still able to read the menu without issue. Overall it was an excellent dining experience for a date night. We will return.
