Excellent food and good reservation service, but seating at the bar to eat dinner involves a lot of elbow throwing and staking out of territory. Doing the best they can with a small, fabulously popular restaurant. Would not recommend eating at the bar if service is high on your list, as bartenders are constantly distracted by bar patrons and those trying to score a drink while waiting to be seated at an actual table.

    Overall the food was outstanding and exceeded my expectations; however, the cheese platter was a disappointment, just cheese and bread. Played too much Zepplin, and the drinks were very expensive. Staff was friendly and helpful.

    So far my biggest disappointment in NYC. I like the decor and I enjoy listening to AC/DC why eating gourmet food, the beef cheek ravioli are actually excellent, but having half the dishes absolutely overcooked is more than I can handle. And service is more cheerful in quite a few funeral homes.

    Lively atmosphere, kind, attentive staff, and flavors that were perfectly paired. A friend and I went for our collective birthdays, shared a bunch of dishes; the staff split the portions for us. I also have a nut allergy; when told, the waiter immediately asked the manager to help us. The manager took our order and personally double checked our choices with the chef and made sure I could eat everything. Will certainly be back; try the beef cheeks

    Terrible experience, hated the wait staff and the manager was rude. Gave useless and bad assistance with the menu. Food isnt even that good, save your money, go elsewhere.

    Music is way too loud and playlist is better suited for a rock concert.

    After asking the manager to turn it down, he informed us that this was Joe and Mario's playlist and neither the genre or volume could be changed.

    Awful!!
