A drink was split by the large wine menu. They wanted to cover it with 2 napkins. NO. We had to ask to have them the table clothes changed. Crab/pretzel was great. Onion soup cheese was 1/2 burnt. Soup underneath was delicious! Duck a 10. Tuna no taste at all.Stryfry veg. great. 1st drink was watered down 2nd is what Grey Goose is. I don't speak Spanish and had difficultly understand staff besides our waitress. There were a lot of regulars.

    Had not eaten here for a couple of years, so had some trepidation when I heard they had a new executive chef. Needn't hav e worried! the food was exceptional and the presentation exhibits David Burke's whimsical nature. the amuse bouche was a steak tartar push pop! The cheesecake lollypop tree is still the coolest dessert I have ever seen and totally delicious. Made for a great birthday feast. The wine list is not for the faint of pocket.

    I gave this place a good review after our experience at last Christmas day brunch. We returned for Mother's day, however, and found the consistency in both food and service sorely lacking. We found them breaking down the buffet only 20 minutes after our scheduled 4 pm reservation. Waitress was inattentive and a bit snooty, and for the price, the hurried ambience was not appreciated. In a word: disappointed.

    A lot to like here. Good energy and decor. all 6 of us really enjoyed the meal. I don't see how the entire experience can be topped in the area but have only been to 2 or 3 other places near there. NYC quality all around without the drive. Would highly recommend.
