   Lunch was a lovely experience. My only disappointment was we couldn't get a table next to a window although I requested one when I made the reservation. The restaurant has a nice view of the lake. Our server Eduardo was attentive and courteous. The meal starts off with a complimentary relish platter with olives, cucumbers and hummus which were very tasty. I highly recommend the jumbo lump crab cake which was big and loaded with crabmeat. It was pricey but worth it. My husband had the clam chowder which he enjoyed, it was a red soup, neither Manhattan nor New England, chock full of clams and just spicy enough. The prime rib French dip fell short of his expectations. Dessert was apple crisp and gelato. It was my birthday and I was presented with a decorated tiramisu. I was very pleased with our experience.

   I really like this. I believe is a must if you come to New York. The food is really great the the service on the table too. The only thing that I didn’t like was when we arrived to the restaurant. They had a closed sign a we were waiting there but they opened a different door and no one told us where to go. Another customer gave us the tip to use the side door

   Great atmosphere and feel, but also a really appealing menu. Everything we had was excellent. Yes, it’s a bit pricey, but you get a truly lovely and classic NYC location and very fine food.

   Beautiful place and very good service. Unfortunately the food is not great. Not so flavorful and everything made with tons of oil, the roasted veggies I ordered were soaking in oil. Even if you really want you can’t eat healthy there. It’s a pity.

    Great experience. We had 1:00 reservations, and when we arrive, we were seated immediately. At a table overlooking the lake. Service and food was superb. Can’t wait to go back.
