Besides the ambience, this place was a nightmare. We had a waiter that refused to take down our order - he kept writing down only what he recommended. It took us 5 minutes to order appetizers because he was so pushy (he would recommend an item then write it down even after we said no). Our appetizers came 15 minutes later, but still no drinks (they finally arrived about 1 minute before our meal). Although the food was good, it was VERY overpriced (average entree price is about $28, but the portions are small and forgettable). Over all, the place is pretty and good people watching (although the transparent ""smoking room"" is obnoxious - your dinner is spent staring into a room of people smoking) but you can see them from the bar. Save your money and appetite for a good NYC restaurant!
