From the time we arrived at the restaurant to the time we left after lunch, service was excellent. We were quickly showed to our table and attended to. Our waiter, Kelyan, explained our options and helped us decide. The appetizers and entrees were excellently prepared and were delicious. We weren’t rushed and the ambience and view was as advertised. I will come back here on my next visit to NYC.

Kind of noisy but like a busy/cool to be there type of vibe. Don’t sleep on the buffalo chicken dumplings-pricey but well worth it. The cavatelli were rich, bursting with flavor from the sausage and mushrooms. Was full but indulged in the sticky toffee pudding-rich and buttery. Expensive and the portions looks small, but the food is rich and quality is outstanding. Great place to go for a special dinner.
