Food was yummy, drink was yummy and service was annoyingly quick. I felt like we were being watched and as soon as our fork went down, and our plate was close to empty, someone was there to whisk it away. I was asked if they could take my drink away, which I wanted to finish, while there was another sip left. My partners plate was taken away as I was still eating. I understand turning the table over but this was happening after we were there for an hour and continued all the way until we left. As soon as our butts came off our chairs our table was pounced upon and cleared before we exited the restaurant. I know you have a two hour limit for two guests, but I think that perhaps it’s beginning to overshadow the dining

the ambience and we sat at a lovely table downstairs near a window. Food was yummy, drink was yummy and service was annoyingly quick. I felt like we were being watched and as soon as our fork went down, and our plate was close to empty, someone was there to whisk it away. I was asked if they could take my drink away, which I wanted to finish, while there was another sip left. My partners plate was taken away as I was still eating. I understand turning the table over but this was happening after we were there for an hour and continued all the way until we left. As soon as our butts came off our chairs our table was pounced upon and cleared before we exited the restaurant. I know you have a two hour limit for two guests, but I think that perhaps it’s beginning to overshadow the dining experience.","rating":{"food":4,"service":3,"ambience":5,"value":4,"noise":"MODERATE","overall":4,"__typename":"ReviewRating"},"user":{"numOfApprovedReviews":19,"nickname":"Diane","metro":{"metroId":8,"displayName":"New York City","__typename":"Metro"},"initials":"D","isVip":null,"isLoggedInUser":false,"profileColor":"PUMPKIN","profilePhoto":{"photoBySize":null,"__typename":"PublicDinerProfilePhoto"},"__typename":"ReviewUser"},"helpfulness":{"up":0,"down":0,"score":0,"__typename":"ReviewHelpfulness"},"publicRestaurantReply":null,"submittedDateTime":"2025-05-17T12:09:29Z","dinedDateTime":"2025-05-16T17:00:00-04:00","type":"OPENTABLEVERIFIED","fromPreviousConcept":false,"highlight":null,"photos":[],"__typename":"ReviewSearchResult"},{"reviewId":"OT-1054132-18179-170049502357","text":"We ate outside on porch which was nice but we did have a bit of noise from the road and also Cover Two Bar customers revving motorcycles but it was not constant and did not spoil are experience.

Love the ambience and we sat at a lovely table downstairs near a window. Food was yummy, drink was yummy and service was annoyingly quick. I felt like we were being watched and as soon as our fork went down, and our plate was close to empty, someone was there to whisk it away. I was asked if they could take my drink away, which I wanted to finish, while there was another sip left. My partners plate was taken away as I was still eating. I understand turning the table over but this was happening after we were there for an hour and continued all the way until we left. As soon as our butts came off our chairs our table was pounced upon and cleared before we exited the restaurant. I know you have a two hour limit for two guests, but I think that perhaps it’s beginning to overshadow the dining experience.

We ate outside on porch which was nice but we did have a bit of noise from the road and also Cover Two Bar customers revving motorcycles but it was not constant and did not spoil are experience. I would recommend this place for any celebrations or special occasions.

The mushroom flatbread appetizer was outstanding. I ordered the salmon, which was on the dry side, needed to be cooked 5 minutes less. Hubby had the pork chop and enjoyed it all.
The limoncello sponge dessert was much better than the chocolate flourless cake, however, they did give out 2 macrons no charge which were excellent. Will try again in a few months.
