Romantic and Enchanting Date Spot

by iluvcitysearch

My boyfriend took me here for a special evening and it was amazing. We sat in a corner table by the windows over looking the water. It was quiet and romantic and we had such a lovely time. No one rushed us, and the waiter offered glasses of wine to compliment each course. I had the pollo alla ponte which was amazing, and my boyfriend had the steak and said he has never had better!!! Can't wait to go back!!!!

Good food, terrible service

by brooklynkim

I was with a party of 20 and waited a ridiculous amount of time to be served a drink. After dinner, we moved to the bar and the bartender disappeared for at least 20 minutes and then had an argument with me. He continued to "fight" back with everyone in my group and went as far as to say he didn't care about not getting a tip. A real jerk. I called to complain to a manager and he was so not interested. I would never go back there.

• Pros: Good food
• Cons: Terrible service

Welcomed before dinner

by Kassim10

The atmosphere is comfortable with tasteful decor. The staff is attentive, knowledgeable and personable. The food excellent and the wine list full of great choices. We got there early and were greeted hospitably by the staff even though they were off for their own repast. They seated us and took great care of us. The food was delicious. I'd definitely go back, this being my second time, after about 10 years. The place is timeless in its charm and character.

• Pros: great food, great service
• Cons: none

i forgot how great this place is

by mariapaosona

i haven't been to this establishment in over a year; after visiting friends in tribeca we decided to have dinner. the view was heavenly; lobster great, and the service very good. if you really want to eat old school with friends, check this tribeca institution out. if on a date, great place to impress and get cozy. great for people that want to experience old new york city. thanks for a great evening.

• Pros: great angry lobster
• Cons: none

Great Service, Great atmosphere, awesome food

by dwk14009

I took 5 of my friends here for my one friend's birthday. It was awesome. The service was perfect and the hostess was so nice when I asked her to find someone to sing happy birthday to my friend. They really actually make you feel like family, and the food is fantastic. My friend wouldn't even let me try his lobster because it was "the best he's ever had."

Go here.. so much better than many new york trendy places.

• Pros: Service, Food, Decor
• Cons: Location, Not exactly cheap (but pretty good value for what you get)
