    Good and service were great. However it was restaurant week and they did not have a menu for this. They also have a pre Broadway menu o. Line that they did not have in the restaurant. Very disappointing

    Went for dinner after a play. I have been to the NJ location a few years ago. We had different dishes and the chicken soup was the best. The skirt steak had no seasoning, yellow rice was bland. Not impressed. Server was great. We won't be back.

    Had my birthday here and loved the dessert/candle presentation and singing by the staff, they place a fedora on you. They have a venue photographer which is nice to capture your party.Went for restaurant week and food was delicious. Happy hour drinks are a great value. There was a live Latin band. Ambience and energy are great for groups, ample seating. Staff were attentive and welcoming.

    The hostess was not welcoming. In fact we arrived 7 minutes before our reservation and she asked us to step to the side to “wait”— there were available tables. Then she sat us in an area where there were 2 large parties. We were given a chose of 2 tables— selected one She came back to say oops we need to switch your table and asked us to wait AGAIN. Not a pleasant person. The waiter and food were very good. We would return again— maybe the hostess will be retrained or was just having a bad day!
