My favorite place on the UWS -- a great dirty Martini, followed by oysters on the half-shell, a "slice of ice" and black beans. A wonderful night -- could barely notice the Canadian Wild Fire smoke.
August 2025
I had such a wonderful experience thanks to our amazing server, Betsy! From the moment we sat down, she was warm, welcoming, and incredibly attentive. She went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. Betsy was so accommodating with our requests and made the whole dining experience feel effortless and enjoyable. It's rare to come across someone who genuinely cares about the customer experience, and she absolutely nailed it. Thank you,...

We ordered a delicious salad and fries. The food was great. The restaurant was uncomfortable with sagging or broken upholstered booth and noisy. We moved to the outer area and that was better. A bit more comfortable and we could hear each other. Too uncomfortable overall. A shame because the food was good.
