Nina CapelliJuly 14, 2011Great! We entered with 20 min. to eat, run down the street & get into the theater. Our food order was placed before we sat down. Food was delish. Folks were the best. Got to the theater 5 min. early!
Emily ScheerDecember 19, 2016Really mindful of theater crowds. Waiter even asked us our showtime when he seated us!
Valerie SOctober 24, 2016Staff was super friendly and attentive. Classic American fare on menu- good for a quick, tasty bite to eat, especially if you need the convenience of being near the theater district.
Brent BlackJanuary 2, 2014Best restaurant in NYC hands down. Amazing food and amazing service. Definitely a must stop for anyone in NYC!!
Ny theater scene classic, with great service, food & drinks! Plus there's usually some good show going on downstairs!!!
Trae FOctober 8, 2017The baby lamb chops and kale and octopus salad were the perfect meal. Our service outside was pretty awful though.- Anne SaulovichAugust 19, 2012Must try the Truffle Mac & Cheese - made with orzo and so good. Was a great starter to split.
I said it before and I'll say it again. Even if you don't like Mac-n-cheese you need to order it here PEOPLE!
Michelle OkekeApril 22, 2013Pretty expensive. I would say that the Grilled Shrimp small plate was my favorite. I wish there was more shrimp though - only came with 3 shrimp and cost 11 bucks.
- Lori K. http://www.lkpheartsfood.netSeptember 16, 2015Roasted chicken, chocolate bread pudding are both excellent!!
- Anne SaulovichAugust 19, 2012Wow! You must try the Butterscotch Toffee Parfait - but I recommend you split it!!
- I said it before and I'll say it again, don't leave this place without trying the truffle Mac n cheese!
Ken's the best! Sit at the bar with him and get some eats!
The food here is excellent! Never had a bad meal here. Underrated.
Ken is the best bartender in the city. Fri-Mon. Visit him!!
