Wonderful evening and such a great find in midtown close to Grand Central. Each course was delicious (those tomatoes!) and our server, Lefteris, was welcoming and super helpful. Beautiful interior and friendly staff. Will definitely be back.

Had the business pix fixe which is outstanding value. Great place for a conversation and we were not hurried but service was surprisingly casual. Overall, though, an excellent option for a business lunch
