    It was good! Never an issue. Just a bit disappointed that I said it was our engagement and no special recognition happened. Probably didn’t check my notes. Overall good though!

    Dining around Times Square is always hit or miss. Sei Less is more "scene" than foodie haven. The food was just OK- I had higher hopes based upon the menu descriptions. The service, however, was very good and attentive. The vibe is really what shines- super fun lounge feel (although it does smell a little bit like old spilled alcohol- which is always a big of a turn off to me).

    The food was wonderful. The restaurant is really loud and the tables are too close to each other. It’s hard to have a conversation here with your table mates due to the loud environment.
