Prices are steep, but its NYC so its average. Prime NY Strip Steak ($48) was excellent. Seems like I can only get good steak in NY.

Server Michael is amazing. Listen to his suggestion and get the scallops over corn puree.

And MAJOR waiter fail. No spoon for my friend having soup and no steak knife for me having steak.

The change in chefs is unfortunate and the service was the slowest ever. Another table left before getting food because it was taking so long.
