Highly, highly recommend this restaurant for a romantic evening out in NYC. My fiancé & I were celebrating our engagement & the staff was so gracious & kind in helping us make this an unforgettable evening. Food & service are impeccable combined with the ambiance & atmosphere (the Christmas decor is absolutely beautiful!). Also is pretty cool that Aaron Burr once lived here!

It is indeed one of the best romantic set up I ever seen. Something deeply made arranged take you back to fairly style kind of night. Food was okay not my kind of food and expectation.

Disappointing, especially given price. Inattentive, slow service; nothing special about food. Was a holiday with prefix menu so perhaps we that was a factor, but won’t return.

Beautiful restaurant with excellent service. The historical elements of the space make it special and interesting. For example, we were seated at a table beside a showcase that contained the dueling guns of Aaron Burr and Alexander Hamilton. I loved that. The food was delicious, too!
