    We were there for dinner for my daughter’s 18th birthday, which was noted when I made reservation on Open Table. No mention of her birthday nor a candle in her dessert was added. I was also quite surprised when I ordered my dinner, to have the waiter roll his eyes when I asked for my sausage well done. The experience would have been so much better, if waiter was more personable and pleasant …. Food was good.

    Went to a late dinner Arte Cafe after seeing Bill Maher at the Beacon Theater. Went there very hungry and left happy and fulfilled tasty and well prepared food with generous portions. The dimly lit, cozy brick interior made for a very comfortable, relaxing time and our wait person was knowledgeable, attentive and very nice. Happy we chose Arte Cafe and will return again to try some of their other appetizing dishes that others around us were having,
