I've been in New York for a week. I've tried many different places and this is the first time I got exactly what I ordered and it was not only really good but also more food then I expected.

We had the crab, shrimp and lobster tail and added 1/2 king crab all in the garlic butter and it was out of this world and worth every penny, staff really good and very appreciative, if your in New York this is an absolute must
Thanks Tony if we revisit nyc we will definitely come back
