I’ve had good experiences here in the past, but this was not one of them. First, while, waiting for a bar seat, the hostess bumped into me and spilled half my cocktail, and did not even apologize or acknowledge it. Then, I was waiting for a single bar seat to have dinner, there was an empty seat next to a group, for 20 minutes while I waited, I asked the bartender about it, and he literally told me that I could not have it because the group that was waiting for a friend had a very large tab.

One of the best meals I’ve had in a VERY long time. Every dish was a 10. Exciting, innovative, yet still approachable and incredibly delicious. Still thinking about the seabass tartare and the mafaldine with king crab mmmmm. The team there is TOPS. They execute flawless fine dining service in a way that feels genuine, cool, calm and collected. Many many thanks to Whitney, Darnelle, Naomi and Josh. Already looking forward to my next visit.

The food and service here are amazing. I had the lobster burrata, fusilli octopus, and grilled sirloin, and the tiramisu for dessert. Highly recommend all off the above. The portions were surprisingly large so don't worry that you'll be leaving hungry. ?

Surrounding and found emotions, the place is located in a sober and elegant way, from my perspective noisy, the. Room temperature, could improve. Regarding the dishes, they are exquisite, except when you order one thing and they bring you something else, underestimating what you requested and making someone who did not make the mistake of making a bad choice feel guilty, the latter being a dish on the menu, a shame. .

It may have lost its two stars but it is every bit as good as it ever was. Best Italian food in the city.

Look, this isn't my type of place. It's clearly for people who make more money than me... but... the fusilli with octopus and beef bone marrow is so damn good (as is the grilled octopus). You can tell the pasta is made fresh and the octopus is high quality. Italian portions as well. I would rather pay $45 for that and have a glass of NYC water than have lunch and drinks at any number of places that serve mediocre quality ingredients, dress it up so it looks good on Instagram, charge $45 and call it "fancy".

Interesting innovative appetizers (scampi on scampi with crispy rice, fluke crudo). Langosta tartare was not as flavorful. Swordfish and duck risotto were excellent. Kids spaghetti with olive oil was really good but not worth $43, same price as their other pasta dishes that have protein . Great extensive wine list. Service started strong but became mediocre as meal progressed.

Very nice restaurant next to Central Park.The atmosphere is cozy and lovely and the service attentive.The food is really good, and the focaccia is a must try.Even if a bit pricey, it is in line with NY prices and is definitely worth it.

Exceptional menu with amazing wine list by the glass and bottle (Sancerre was reasonable and excellent). Swordfish portion was cooked medium rare and done with fennel and was one of the best dishes of swordfish I ever had!
