"Such a relaxing vibe, the smooth music by saxophone player Utril Rhaburn will make you want to get up and dance."
"The vibe was spectacular and the drinks were good."
"Seating is spread out nicely in the dining room so you’re not on top of other tables."
"Elegant entrance to a beautiful restaurant."
"The atmosphere was exceptional."
"Ambiance is inviting and pleasant with beautiful piano jazz."
"The ambiance of this place is amazing. It has a very calm soothing kind of atmosphere."
Cons:
"The decor is, in my opinion, a little outdated looking, like something a high end restaurant would have looked like out of the Mad men era."
"Nothing really special about this place other than the nice calm atmosphere."
"The type of music they play in the restaurant was a little odd, felt like pop-radio."
"Also they had trouble with their music and dimmed the lights 80% at one point."
"The layout is very open, to the extent that the tables felt like they were arranged in rows in a warehouse without any permanent fixtures."

Food Quality
Pros:

"Their prix fixe lunch offering is broad and the portions were generous and most importantly, very tasty."
"The food was fresh, tasty, well seasoned and a delight to eat."
Cons:
"The lemon pasta was good but I would've personally preferred a little less lemon, it was overpowering any other flavor."
"I didn't like the taste of the steak, but the texture was GREAT, crusty outside and juicy inside."
"Food is just ok, pricy for the portions size."
"The price to portion ratio isn't very worth it in my opinion."
"Pasta was boring, the sauce flavor was the same as bought one, not one fresh."
"The food is very subpar and overpriced."
"The food was awful! How can you mess up pasta with plain red sauce?"
Price & Value
Pros:
"Also they're very reasonably priced."
"A little on the pricey side, but I would definitely recommend, especially for a pre-show nosh."
"The prices were not bad for Manhattan at all."
Cons:
"But the $24 cocktails were just so so."
"They charge you 18% for paying with a credit card."
"They charge a surcharge for using a credit card!!! Bush league move."
"We each started with a glass of over priced wine $20/$26!"
"Finally, when your surprisingly large bill arrives, do note the 'service charge' of 3.5% to cover their credit card processing fees."
"On the sidewalk they present a different menu with low prices, attracting new clients, but when you sit at the table, you receive a menu in which all dishes are way more expensive."
"We were charged for an extra full bottle of wine and 2 extra drinks."
