    Pescatarian friendly. Gluten-free breads. Plant based ice creams using cashew and coconut milk, and some of the best gluten free desserts I’ve ever had. This seasonally driven, plant forward spot is just an oasis amidst the hustle and bustle of NYC. Pop in for a drink, stay for a meal, your taste buds will thank you.

    exceptional food and service in what can only be described as a Sheraton hotel designed room. The interior does not match the quality of the food and service so if you can get beyond that, then it's worth going. I get the sense it's the mess hall for the billionaires living nearby on Madison Ave.

    Beautiful restaurant with an elegant atmosphere and very attentive service. The dishes were creative, fresh, and nicely presented, especially the appetizers. Overall, the food was very good, though a few flavors felt a little underwhelming for the price. Still, it was a pleasant dining experience and worth trying.

    Our reservation was at 8:30. Service in the beginning was excellent. We spent some time finding wine as they were out of the first three bottles we chose. Dinner was excellent. As we finished dinner we were rushed to choose dessert. We chose to just enjoy our $400 bottle of wine. As we finished dinner around 9:30 the restaurant began to empty. From that point on we were constantly pressured to finish by the staff. They hovered over our table, turned the music off, and adjusted the lights wanting us to leave. We hadn’t even been there for 2 hrs. Completely unacceptable for a restaurant of this caliber and price point. Will not return! Don’t waste your time. Completely ruined an otherwise enjoyable night.
