Our steaks were cooked to perfection & tasted wonderful. My two complaints are 1) the waiter brought out the wrong vintage of wine than what was requested & did not say anything to me about it, and 2) the waiter did not bring our check in a timely fashion, i.e. we sat for about 30 minutes before I finally had to wave the waiter over to ask for our check. Reception desk & bartender were very kind prior to our dinner.

The aesthetics of this restaurant was to absolutely die for! The waiters were super nice and polite and the food was absolutely amazing. They made my partner's birthday so wonderful. I adored every moment of it and I'd definitely go back when I get the chance! 10/10 best experience ever!

Our server was exceptional and made the experience an enjoyable one. As someone who does not indulge in these settings often, our server was patient and made our anniversary dinner a memorable one.

The team that worked for the lunch shift on 7.18.25 were absolutely excellent. We were celebrating our second year engaged anniversary and they made us feel special. They even gave us a chocolate mousse cake on the house with a candle! I highly recommend for any special occasion.

The ambience and food was amazing. Great story of the restaurant being an old theatre! Given the restaurant wasn't too busy, service was quite slow. However, our main server Elvis was great: fun and entertaining to match the energy of our group! I would recommend it!

Food was good. Asking if I am ready to order 1 min after I sit down was BS. Nice place, lose the bad waiter. Took my 16 y/o to teach him about finer dining experience, how to order and appreciate a nicer establishment and the clown waiter acted like we were at TGIFridays.

My wife and I split the crab cake and a salad and ordered the Filet for 2. This was the best meal we had in New York and one of the best steaks I have ever had. Staff and service was excellent. We were greeted by the manager who kept lookout that everything was perfect and Dino our waiter was an absolute credit to the establishment.

Best dining experience ever! The staff were exceptional, especially Giovanni, Allen and Hrvooe. We were treated like four queens and no judgement we weren't dressed too fancy. The rib eye is to die for!! French onion sooooo good and wow the wine list! I loved not being rushed and the manager was sure to celebrate my daughter's birthday with total style. I wish o could go here again soon. Thank you!!

The restaurant was nice but the New York steak was cooked to my request did not taste very good. One of the waiters remakes of pot. The service was great but the food not so much.

We where there at opening on a Saturday. Ordered French onion soup, lobster bisque and a filet minion to share. The French onion soup was sweet and the bisque with tons of vinegar. We told the manager and he reordered them both. It came back the French still sweet and the bisque extremely saulty. Anyways we canceled those. The filete minion was cooked to perfection. However I was expecting a more refined plating it just came sliced and that's it, in a dry white sad plate. The service was very nice.
