Service was slow (dinner took 3 hours), but the waitstaff was pleasant and helpful. We were not in a hurry, so the leisurely pace was ok. We sat right in front of the hostess stand, and she seemed angry, and we felt like she was glaring at us all night. It may be that she was angry about the slow service, but we felt her wrath. The food and wine was very good, and the waitstaff was friendly and capable. We had a wonderful time and enjoyed our dinner very much except for the disapproving hostess.

Wonderful Christmas Eve dinner for our family! From delicious cocktails to scrumptious NY aged steaks and rabbit tagliatelle, grilled octopus to panna cotta for desert, the entire meal was perfect and the service was top-notch. Love the new location and we will be back very soon!
