    Service is amazing here, everyone is warm and goes above and beyond. This is really what makes this restaurant such a staple of the upper west side and the place to go before a performance at Lincoln Center.

    I have to give this 5 stars, not because it is super- high end cuisine, but because it provides excellent food, with good service, in a nice ambience. It is an unimposing building in a row of town shops, but the black & white checked marble floors, large open feeling, and consistently kind service and good food earn it a top rating.

    Everything was wonderful! We were on a Sunday evening and the restaurant was very quiet. The service was excellent, friendly and helpful. The paella was delicious! As was the stuffed flounder and stuffed salmon. The broiled seafood dinner was good but the shrimp were a bit tough and gamey tasting. The desserts and cappuccino were a great way to end the meal! One of our favorite local places!
