From the moment we checked in for our reservations we received stellar service. Our waiter was friendly and willing to answer all questions about the history of the restaurant. I recommend the duck - it was so scrumptious. There is a full bar as well. And dessert was enough to share

While our waiter was great, the atmosphere was very loud, food over priced, the special was $98! We lived in NYC for a very long time and very few restaurants have dishes at $98, and with a much better quality. The Risotto in the special wasn't cooked properly, too raw, the shrimp tasted like it was bought cooked and frozen and then reheated. We also had send back the octopus because it tasted and smelled spoiled. Our bill was for two people was $200 for one appetizer, one small plate (2nd was returned), on main course (we shared), 1 dessert, 1 tea and 1 martini. Good thing we weren't hungry,,,,Left very unsatisfied :(
