    It was our first time there and everything from the moment you walk in to when you leave was great. Top notch service from everyone that interacted with us and food was fantastic.

    Thanksgiving dinner was very disappointing. Service was rushed, food was thrown on plate without any thought to presentation or care. Our table was in the basement, next to the service area. Definitely not the experience I remembered nor hoped for. Meat was ok. Not worth the price as it did not deliver on value.

    Service was mediocre at best. We sat there no less than 10 minutes with waiters go by us, around us and by us agin and no one said a word, gave us a menu or even gave us water. We finally had to ask for help. To boot, we were literally in the middle of the room so it’s not like we were out of the way and easily ignored. In 2 hours, our water glasses were refilled one time. We were parched. As for food: Bread was stale, Steaks and sides were good but nothing more special than any other less expensive place and the chocolate cake we took back to the hotel was so dry that it just went to crumbs when we put a fork in it. It was AWFUL! 100% not worth the +$500 we spent for four of us.

    The steaks and lamb chops were great. The turkey dinner was horrible. The turkey was dry and cold, the gravy had skin on it, the pie was a dry and thin. The dinner had probably been plated 45 minutes before it was brought to the table. It was worth about $12 not $78!!

    Everything was excellent, from the Perfect Manhattans to the soup, steaks and sides! The wonderful slab of birthday was a welcome bonus, along with the great service.
