"Pretty, bright dining area."

"The place looks exquisite and full of class."
Cons:
"$16 bowl of fries that were nothing special even with the truffle oil."
"The menu was very limited so we stuck to appetizers."
"Lastly, we sat in the back room that does not look anywhere as nice as on the pictures."
"Friday evening is LOUD!!"
"Way too long wait, in a very loud and noisy bar."
"It was fun but the back room’s vaulted ceiling makes it SUPER loud, similar to Do not Disturb’s back room."
"Albeit a bit loud on a Thursday night."

Cons:
"The waitress seemed to be rushed the whole time."
"Worst experience in NYC, I went in many bars in Manhattan this is the first time I have treated like not welcome at all in the place, nobody served me."
"There was the host who was wearing a gray suit with curly hair who was dilute to me and my friend."
"The service left something to be desired."
"The waitress who served us was very pleasant at first, but after 1.5 hours there, it felt like they wanted to rush our group of 2 couples out for no reason."
"But the staff was aloof - not unfriendly, just distant."
"She began to ignore me I would try and grab her she would clearly see me trying to get her attention but she just didn’t want to talk."
Food & Drinks

Cons:
"I ordered a strawberry margarita for $18 and that sucked tasted as if there was no alcohol."
"The menu was totally uninspired."
"Happy hour menu has limited options and no beer."
"The alcohol variety is not as what we could imagine to find being at the very heart of New York."
"The drinks were okay, nothing to rave about with a $17-$18 price point."
"The shrimp tacos are no bueno, they are the size of a half dollar coin and way too spicy with no warning."
"The fish was horrible tasted like unseasoned fish sticks which I hate waste of $26."
