    Needs more light. Why does it have to be so dark? We want to be able to see each other as we celebrate and drink together. But thats one of very few things that needed improvement. Overall, it was an elegant setting and we all felt special that evening. Great drinks and service. We'd go again - but earlier when it's more bright.

    All of the small plates we tried were tasty -- some were outstanding. Particularly recommend the vegetable dumplings, brussel sprouts, and lobster roll. There were four of us and it was nice that most of the small plates had four pieces. The most filling were the skewers of barbecued chicken, also very tasty, and the tuna tacos were anothr popular choice, as were the slightly spicy crab cakes.. The Sauvignon Blancs (both the California and the New Zealand) were good and the bourbon (Basil Haydn) and Tequila were very popular with others at the table. It's important to order wisely! Some of the drink items seem outrageously expensive but we found what we ordered well-priced. Did I mention the view? Stunning. Service attentive. We went for the first time and would definitely return.

    Great view of Central Park. Staff was nice but stopped being attentitive at the end. We mentioned that we needed to leave by a certain time but could not find a server when we needed to get our check. Drinks were good and normally priced for a place with this quality view and decor. We went on a Thursday evening at 7pm and it was less than 40% full.
