    Definitely a good central spot to meet I had a couple of my colleagues who came from all 5 boroughs and The County for a meet a greet. The ambiance was good wish it had little more lighting for pictures. The food was pretty decent and the service was great. There is concern about the elevator it’s a bit too dark. For safety reason they should more light especially as this establishment serves alcohol. Overall is a good place to visit.

    Thanks for visiting us, Krystal! It's great to know that you appreciated our ambiance and found our food and service to be good. We take your feedback about the elevator safety seriously and we'll look into this matter. We appreciate your kind words and look forward to your next visit!
