great service and atmosphere

by rrebeccaa

The food and service here is well worth the amount of money you spend - and it is pricey. I was worried that I would be disappointed after spending so much on a meal, but I left having probably the most amazing dining experience I've ever had.

The service was great, the atmosphere was comfortable and not pretentious at all, and they were very accommodating. I will definitely be searching for any occassion to make it back here for another experience.

• Pros: variety of food'ambiance
• Cons: pricey

Special Evening..

by morganctnr

Great restaurant that definitely has a a very nice upscale atmosphere.... The food was amazing, but the service was unbelievably slow. But, the food was definitely worth the wait. Went there for a double-birthday celebration and the wait staff really went out of their way to make it a special evening for us.

Unusual variety

by cangrejo

They call this New York's "best kept secret". It is open continuously all day. I went at an off hour so I was the only diner in the whole place. The maitre 'd was informative about the restaurant since I just had passed it on Madison Avenue. I just got buzzed in. The room is very attractive with colorful murals. I had the prix fixe tasting menu which was quite good, especially the additional foie gras and an additional spoonful of a higher quality of caviar. I didn't even try the sushi so as not to confuse my taste buds. It was very expensive but I would return.

The only issue I had was with the wait staff who may have had too little to do. One waitress in particular would take away the dish and then yell within my hearing distance, "He's ready for the next one!" giving it a feel more of a diner. She also spent quite a bit of time looking at the rain outside the window instead of tending to the sole customer. Would definitely go back.

• Pros: Taste of food, variety, ambience,
• Cons: Service
