“Ilona was an amazing server! We loved her energy and humor.
She walked us through the menu and I changed my order decision based on her explanation of the menu. Ended up getting the eggs benny trifecta and it was delicious. Really liked the pork on the Benedict, really flavorful. Eggs were the perfect done-ness.
They don’t joke when they say things are sweet, so be prepared for that. But I got the savory dish, so it wasn’t and issue for me.“

“The view was great, and I really enjoyed the glass windows since it was SO COLD outside. It was a great spot to watch ? fireworks and have some drinks, but the service was extremely slow. I've never waited so long for a drink in my entire life. The second bartender came in and poured our whiskey we asked for over 20 minutes before. I'm in the hospitality business so...I'm very understanding, but wow. There were maybe 10 people in there when we got there on New years Eve. Wasn't busy. Mind you, it was still very early. They lose out on ALOT of money and tips by being so slow and inattentive. It could be a gem. When I told the 3 people at the front desk, they needed help upstairs. (we had one drink and went somewhere else to spend New years due to slow service, and the crowd was getting bigger... yikes. ) they said yeah people like coming here since its one of the only places open (wrong).... it was empty downstairs. If you think this is busy...go to naples florida. Lol, get some better bartender that enjoys getting big tips. The man behind the bar was great. He helped us... and everyone else tremendously. Without him, you would have made no money that night.. I hope he got holiday pay. Other than that it was a great stay. Best Regards“

“It was a nice restaurant! Drinks were good and ambiance was nice and mood setting. I’m not a heavy seafood person so I found the menu compact but eclectic. It’s all about preferences. NY Strip was the only cut of steak they had and it was decent (also not my fav) but the au poivre was really good. The salad with the fruit was really good as well! Give it a try for yourself.“
