Ade LeriSeptember 18, 2017One of my best friends told me about this restaurant and I decided to go. I really enjoyed the food, the atmosphere, live music, and the decor.
- Brian MichaelJuly 13, 2014The escargot and crab cake were both amazing! For entrees, both the chicken dishes were juicy and succulent! For dessert, get the chocolate heaven and the frozen cappuccino. You won't regret it!
Christian BorgesDecember 7, 2016I've loved this place for over 20 years, and it still doesn't disappoint. In. An area I'm not particularly fond of, this is "old school NYC" at it's core. Good, reliable food, piano playing, reliable.

heather pinkFebruary 3, 2013The inside artwork and chandeliers are quite beautiful. Great pianist. Skip appetizers and order the roast duck.
Absolutely have the crab cakes. They are amazing. And come see Eric play on Tuesdays and Wednesdays... old standards you've never heard before.

Will ArnoneMarch 28, 2013Boudin noir - Mon Dieu! But only for very serious sausage devotees. Not for the faint of heart bien sur.
Pâté is fab, enough for two and love the crab cakes.
Chris Moltisanti mentions he is going to take Adriana here on 3rd season of The Sopranos.- Great romantic place. And the piano player is great.
Christian LiistroJanuary 5, 2011Excellent chinese ravioli but take care of your coats!! They will ask you 2$ each on top of an already expensive bill...- Carl AltenaMay 5, 2012Do not order beer! It is served in a wineglas! Do not comment! It will end all servecing mind of the waiter in blue.
