I didn’t know what to expect when I made a reservation for myself & five of my friends to celebrate my 60th birthday but I was in for the best time. As soon as you walk in you are struck with the elegance of the bar area. Wait staff were very helpful & the view of the East River & Queens was stunning. We were treated incredibly well by our waitress, Elizabeth. The food was amazing & inventive. I would have liked the bar to have more choices, such as I would have loved a kir royale but that wasn’t available. Even though, we had a fabulous time.
