    We had a wonderful lunch on a beautiful day overlooking the water in Central Park. Excellent food, beautifully presented, and excellent service from Christopher. A lovely place for a special lunch or dinner - quintessentially New York! I live here and still think it is one of the best New York experiences.

    The ambience and the food were amazing. The crudos were particularly delicious. And we loved the entire staff, especially our server, Rene. He was so personable and gracious. This was our first visit, but it is now our new favorite UES restaurant. Can’t wait to come back again soon:)
