    Hidden gem on 54th street. Food was excellent and staff was very professional. Pasta was fresh and the scallops and ribeye were delicious and cooked to perfection. I will be back!

    Attractive restaurant. Quiet at first but as it got busier of course it got louder. Not bad though. Great service. Good was good. Pricey but that’s what good service and food costs. All in all a nice evening.

    We love dining outside. Sometimes the street noise is are a bit much, but we still enjoy the atmosphere. The waiters were very attentive, even though we were the only ones outside at an early hour in the evening. Inside, the dining room is beautiful and quieter.
