    We haven't been to Chart House in a long time. We enjoyed it so much more than the last time. Our waiter was very attentive and constantly came by to check on us. I appreciated it considering it was Valentine's Day and it can get hectic to the point where he could've disappeared for a while but that was NOT the case here. Very nice man and polite and patient with our two children and their orders. Overall enjoyed our time and the place was as beautiful as we remembered. Oh! They even sat us near the window which had the most beautiful view of nyc. Didn't ask for a window seat so it was a very nice perk to have them sit us there.

    I had a wonderful birthday/ valentine brunch at Cecconi today. The staff was attentive and warm and we had great seating for two near the window to observe the view of the bridge. Drinks and food were excellent and lent to a very nice birthday/valentine's celebration with my husband today.

    If you go to the Lola, you have to ask for Jenna. She was an amazing waiteress. The Lola in general was 10/10, would recommend.
