   Even though I had a reservation, we had to wait about 20 minutes for a table. The service was slow, and we had to wait until our meals were served to get utensils. And one of the orders was incorrect and had to be sent back. The pastrami was not as good as the last time I had it here. Not sure if I will be returning.

   Unfortunately 3 of the 4 didn’t like their food. Chicken was extremely dry, chicken salad had so much mayo is was liquidy…nice atmosphere though and fast service.

   Highly recommend this restaurant! We were a party of five and had reservations; we arrived early but they sat us immediately. Extensive menu selection so we needed extra time to decide what to order. All the food arrived quickly, hot and served at the same time… most importantly, everything was DELICIOUS! One warning: huge portions of food so we couldn’t finish and didn’t order dessert. Our server Lena was on point, friendly, attentive and patient with us. We came on a rainy mid-December night… the place was busy and loud but Lena and other staff were helpful and didn’t miss a beat. We will definitely come back when we return to NYC.

   One thing customers should have in mind is that we had a reservation for 2 people at 6pm, and we weren’t seated until 6:17pm. They were so busy and they were doing their best to seat everyone. But like many other diners that evening we were headed to a show. Unfortunately we felt in a rush because we were seated later than our reservation time. Nonetheless, the food was great! Our waitress was attentive and was very knowledgeable about the menu. We had a couple mocktails- both lovely! Our party ordered the avocado toast and kale chicken Caesar salad. The avocado toast had eggs that were served Benedict style, although the eggs came out hard boiled. The waitress was kind enough to bring us new runny eggs ASAP. The kale chicken Caesar salad was great- the chicken was so moist and the greens were fresh. Plus the dressing was delicious! We also ordered the 24 layer chocolate cake which was so good! We were impressed with the size and the price. We took most of it to go! TLDR: I would recommend this place, but make your reservation for earlier because they may not seat you at your reservation time.
