Incredible restaurant in the heart of NYC. We visited to celebrate a graduation. In terms of fine dining this is a new favorite. I'd recommend the seared scallops or the duck breast!

These 5 stars are solely because of the Front of House team. Thank you Harold for noticing and going above and beyond to turn around my experience. It is because of the incredible hospitality from yourself, Andy and your team that I left feeling so grateful. I know this isn't much but hope the right people see this and you get the raise you deserve! Thanks again!

Fantastic food. Chef has a Michelin star and you can tell he needs another one. Had the tasting menu with wine pairing. Will go again. Both times it has been heavenly. People are very nice and atmosphere very beautiful.

I appreciate having the option of a three course menu vs. a full tasting menu. When the mesuare of how good the food will be it's the butther from Normandy at the beginning of the meal, you know you are in for a treat!
