The host was obnoxious and made me feel very unwelcome. There is a small door to enter and it is a very crowded space. He made me feel that I was in his way upon entering. The restaurant is very crowded and the tables very small. Although the food was good and the waiter was very personable, I felt like I was on a stop watch from the minute I sat down. I felt rushed. My son is in a play at the theater next door and I normally recommend the restaurant. I will never recommend it again.

Food was mediocre, steak not as you should expect. Starte arrived within minute after ordering and long before drinks arrived. We were rushed out the door, were not given time to finish a decent dinner.

Food and service were wonderful!! The place is so cozy and quaint. Definitely on the smaller side and we did have to get up a couple times for others to get past for the restroom but we didn’t mind. Prices were reasonable and we even got a free dessert for a guests birthday. Overall a perfect dinner after a broadway show!

The service was great. The food was pretty good. I loved the broccolini and the filet mignon. The space is well styled but it's a tight squeeze. You're a part of the conversation at the next table.

Food was great. Staff was amazing. Cute little restaurant that was perfect for before seeing a Broadway show. Protip: upgrade to the squash fries with a burger. They were delicious.
