Good food, visited many times. But this visit left a bad taste because the server rejected a simple request to take a group photo for my family of 3 as a memory for the occasion. I understand the restaurant is busy, but this would only take 10-20 seconds of the server’s time.
I’d now think twice about going back.

Visited with our toddler (tired and hungry). Food was brought out quickly for him (and was delicious) but he wasn’t in the mood to eat so got quite cranky. My husband took him outside to try settle him so I could eat, and the staff, or one lady at least, made us feel bad by closing the windows while my husband was outside calming my son. I appreciate people don’t want to listen to a whinging toddler, but you don’t have to be obvious about it. We weren’t even there late, has a 5pm booking, reasonable for young children. The chef as well told my son not to break wooden animal figurines left out near our table even though he wasn’t even rough playing with them, and we were watching him as well to make sure he didn’t do anything wrong. I felt a bad vibe from the staff at the restaurant, and may have been while my son didn’t settle there. We’ve been travelling a lot around the US the least week and a half and this is the least comfortable he’s been.
The food otherwise was delicious. I had the seafood linguine in the tomato cream sauce and my husband had the lobster ravioli in the tomato cream sauce. Great flavours and fresh seafood. Just a shame about the service.

Had a fabulous dinner while celebrating our 39th wedding Anniversary. The food was delicious, the atmosphere, and staff were excellent!
This location is iconic. The food is made to order. Small menu to insure everything is top notch. I knew it was going to be a Good night when the waitress greeted me wearing Chanel.
The atmosphere was really nice until a rowdy birthday group came in talking loud. After I was moved to a new location I was able to enjoy my meal.
I ordered linguine with class with creamy pesto sauce, house salad, glass of white wine.
The bathrooms are clean and neat.
They had soap and paper towels and toilet tissue.
The service was excellent. 1 waitress took care of the whole restaurant sucessfilly. I am addicted to ........good service!
Maybe I was there on a bad night but my cioppino was the blandest thing I ever ate. No salt. No garlic. No wine. No lemon. Just tomato water with seafood that was wildly under seasoned as well. Left hungry and disappointed.
Great Ciopinno!!
Our server was lovely, attentive and very nice. Food good overall. Restaurant was clean including the rest room . Nice vintage atmosphere.

My favorite restaurant in the city The food is easily a 10/10-
The service is just as impressive, super attentive and makes the whole experience feel elevated. It's the perfect spot for a date night or any special celebration. Always such a good time here

The positive- the server was very nice and polite!
I'm not sure how this restaurant has 4.6 stars. The three of us had a wedge which was iceberg, a quartered Roma tomato, blue cheese dressing and blue cheese crumbles. This was $17 each. Two of the wedges were supposed to come with salmon added. When the salads came, the salmon did not and when I asked, she said that they take longer in the oven. As it turns out, she misunderstood our order as two salmon plates with vegetables. Obviously, we were confused when those plates came out and she took them back. Since we had ordered Salmon added, they split the 2 salmon pieces in half and brought the plates back including the vegetables and didn't charge for the plates, but did charge for the salmon. What in the world did the kitchen do with 2 halves of salmon that had been set on a table? Anyway, the food was ok. Over $100 worth? No. Would not return due to quality for cost. We never mind to pay for good food.
Was very disappointed that the wedge salad was very lacking. No bacon on it, barely any dressing. Asked for salmon with it, the salad came out and no salmon. Server messed up our order and brought a whole salmon meal then took it away. Very disappointed because of the high rating.
