Reviews
While the food quality was what you would expect from a standard restaurant, the prices were not at the same level and felt quite expensive for what was offered.
Interestingly, the hash browns ended up being our favorite item, even though they are not a main dish.
One thing we found uncomfortable was that a 20% tip was automatically added to the bill when we asked for the check.
If spending over USD 100 per person for dinner is acceptable for you, you might want to consider other dining options that offer better value for money.
Eventually, I signaled for Ahmed, the original server who had been pushed aside, and he provided excellent service. Ahmed was attentive, patient, and friendly, timing our meals perfectly without any issues. Overall, the food was average compared to other steakhouses I’ve frequented. The service experience was quite odd; I’ve dined at many places and have never encountered anything like this. I’d consider returning if invited, but I wouldn’t specifically seek out this restaurant again.
What truly made the evening exceptional was our waiter, Carlos. He was outstanding from start to finish—attentive without being intrusive, knowledgeable about the menu, and genuinely warm in his service. He made thoughtful recommendations, checked in at just the right times, and ensured every detail of our meal was perfect. It’s rare to encounter service that elevates the entire dining experience, but Carlos absolutely did that.
The food was excellent, perfectly prepared, and served promptly. Combined with top-tier service, it made for a memorable night. I’ll definitely be returning—and I’ll be asking for Carlos.
Highly recommend!
There’s a variety of food options to choose from that are seasoned, and well made!
The overall service from everyone was excellent! I highly recommend visiting.
A special thank you to Mr. Philipe and Mr. Carlos, who took incredible care of us all evening. They were professional, attentive, and genuinely friendly. The manager on duty this evening (from Dublin) was also amazing, and we truly appreciate the owner Mr. Joseph as well. Thank you for making the night so memorable! Highly Recommend !!!
The food was delicious, I highly recommend the sea bass and the filet mignon! The calamari was seasoned well and cooked well.
This was definitely one of the best restaurants we ate at here in New York and I would love to come back!
Restaurant is lovely and clean, lovely lights (with 3 settings) on the table which is my kind of idea.
Food is more than excellent especially the Filet Mignon, cooked to perfection. Best value is the $55 pp for 3 course dinner which their don’t advertise or show on menu. Saw it online and had to ask in restaurant.
Staff are very friendly, mainly waiters no waitresses. Very heavy handed with serving. Service is ok, had to wait sometime for table to be cleaned after each course. Restaurant is not busy at all during time of visit. This has lower the overall rating.
