We had an amazing special occasion dinner there on 10/07/03. I had read a number of very negative reviews on line, which I can only conclude were from people who are not accustomed to eating in restaurants of this caliber. The food was more creative than we expected. There was a special green pea soup with truffles and lobsters which was ethereal. Our main courses were perfect. Although we were first time visitors, we were given our pick of wonderful tables. The ambiance is unparalleled, and the service was polite and friendly. The wine list has serious bottles but also good values. With a splurge bottle of wine, our bill was $268, very reasonable in comparison to other fine restaurants in NY.
Pros: ambiance, food, value
