The food was INCREDIBLE. The portions are family sizes; my spouse and I shared an entrée and appetizer, and it was a lot of food. But it was so good. The drinks were great as well. Front desk people were meh, but our waitress and everyone helping around were super nice. 100% recommend.

Had a wonderful work-team lunch. Our server Dorji was very attentive and made sure we were able to get out on time without missing a course. Really delicious and affordable lunch prix fixe, and the ambiance of the restaurant is like visiting a French salon in the middle of Midtown. Highly recommend for a break from the hustle of the city.

our waitress sang beautifully and delivered us delicious meals. it was very crowded, and we were rushed out. they did warn us (after we had reserved and only on the day of our reservation) that we had one hour to eat. a warning at the time of reservation would have been appreciated, because, with such a late advisement, we had to stand outside in the cold before our curtain.

Exceptional wait staff, very obliging in assisting us in choosing a wine. Guests all loved their food. Spouse felt the salmon was the best ever. I had a gluten-free pasta dish and was disappointed. Would go back.
