Amazing prime rib with incredible au jus! The risotto was a hit, and the calamari was tender and delicious. The spaghetti with shrimp was the only miss, and the chicken Parmesan could’ve been crisper. Still, with great service, solid drinks, and a lively vibe, it’s definitely worth a visit — reservations recommended!

Everything. Love the staff, the food, and the warm and welcoming feeling this place has.

Excellent food, great wine list and some nice piano music to go with - loved it there already a couple of times. The kitchen is genuinely American with some notchs above the usual, and if you take a few steps after dinner to digest, you'll arrive at the Korean War Memorial and a terrific view of the southern tip of Manhattan.
