    From Henry, our waiter, to the maître D, at the front in a full suit. The service and the food was fantastic and the music was so great. My mom and I really had a great time.  we can’t wait to come back for dinner as well as try brunch one day.

    We really enjoyed the food and ambience. The hostess was very welcoming, as was the manager and our server was great. Nice little gem on the Upper East Side. The bar area looked nice as well, so probably a good spot for cocktails after work.
