   We made a last minute reservation for 7 people on a busy Wednesday night, and the restaurant was very accommodating. The space is beautiful. Our server, Steven, was a gem. Everyone was very knowledgeable about the food and the history of the space itself. The wine recommendations were spot on, and the food was amazing. We ordered a number of different appetizers, including the escargot (which is delicious). we had a great selection of entrees to pick from including the salmon, branding, filet, and I had the dry aged NY strip (highly recommend). And save room for dessert!

   Exceptional date night! Following a disappointing visit in March (bland food, hurried service with lots of mistakes) we returned and had a delightful evening. Service was a high point, with exceptional kudos to Emily. Despite a very busy service, she made sure everything was just right, that our courses came out in great timing, and that we were well taken care of. The food was delicious across the board this time. Oysters were fresh, and the octopus grilled very well. The mains were another high point! Excellent aged steak, and sole meuniere was heavenly. Profiteroles for dessert were lovely. We probably over-ordered (with cheeses and another appeetizer) but we were very pleasantly fed. Ambience was lovely, live jazz was loud, and two very loud, energetic tables created quite a cacophony, though not the restaurant's fault. Additional curtains or sound absorbing panels would be a very welcome addition. All in all, a delightful experience, and we can't credit Emily enough for her outstanding service! We're very glad that La Grande Boucherie encouraged us to give the restaurant another try - they were right, it was well worth it!

   Redeeming factor - our waitress, Gloria. She was the bright light of the evening. The escargot were good. The lobster linguine, not so good. The lobster was so overcooked and dried out, it was horrible. When we told Gloria, we did get freshly cooked and good lobster, but by that time, the pasta was cold. All in all, not so great. We did get a delicious crème brulee, so we ended on a good note. I don’t think I’d go back.

    The table should’ve been cleaned before dessert was served. The table had remnants of bread and other things that had been served before and to see a lovely dessert placed on top of a dirty table was really something that we were not excited about. It took away from the experience of having the delicious dessert. Our waiter was very nice, but our eggs Benedict all came cold to the table and even though the eggs were cooked perfectly, no one likes to eat a cold egg. I believe that I can’t say that that was fine dining. It feels more like an upscale cheesecake factory.

    Hello Andrea, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We sincerely apologize that your experience did not meet expectations. Serving dessert on an uncleared table and delivering cold dishes, especially something as delicate as Eggs Benedict, is unacceptable and not reflective of the standard we aim to uphold. We’re glad to hear your server was kind and that you enjoyed the dessert, but we regret that these issues took away from your overall experience. With the intention of creating a better experience for our guests, please kindly contact us at guestrecovery@thegroup.nyc with your contact information as well as your review as a reference, and we will reach out to you. We look forward to speaking with you soon. Sincerely, Emma Guest Relations Team
