    Amazing experience!! Everything from the food to the service was phenomenal!! we came to celebrate my daughter‘s 17th birthday with all her friends and this place did not disappoint. Our waitress Bruna was a doll, she was very knowledgeable with the menu and gave us the best recommendations.  I mentioned to her that we are celebrating my daughter 17th birthday and she spoke with the manager Roman who allowed us to go into the private room after dinner to take photos. My daughter and her friends were ecstatic!! Needless to say we will be coming back very soon, and if I lived closer, I would have loved to book a party in their party room. It was stunning, and the views are picturesque. also, free parking in the lot next door!

    Had a wonderful dinner here for our last night in NYC. The Maitake tartare was dreamy, the trout was light and fresh, and we loved both the olive oil cake and the chocolate marquis. We have gluten and soy allergies. This restaurant was very good about checking to make sure everything was safe for us. Our server also gave us great wine reccommendations. Highly reccommend the fig Negroni as well. Looking forward to our next visit!
