Good Food - Impeccable Service
Thursday, July 17, 2003
Food: The rack of lamb was rich and saturated with flavor. The appetizer (pasta of the day) was very tasty, and the Atlantic halibut had a sense of individual style, but was a bit bland. Overall, the food was good. The Gotham Chocolate Cake was superb, a highly recommend for chocoholics.
Ambience: The tables offer little intimacy, unless you are seated toward the back of the restaurant. We were seated next to a very loud group of 8, doing business. The Maitre d' asked our neighbors to tone it down four times. And, following dinner, she asked if we would like to relocate for dessert.
Wonderful service and amazing food make this place a must try. If you are looking for something romantic, look into alternatives like Bouley or Gramercy Tavern (both excellent choices).
Pros: service, dessert, wine selection
Cons: loud
