Booked here on a Saturday for a late lunch and an early start to Broadway! It’s a beautiful restaurant and being able to book different levels based upon your desired ambiance is awesome. I ordered a Cobb Salad, Truffle Fries and an Espresso Martini. I enjoyed them all 👍 the entertainment was excellent and it was not too loud so we could all hear ourselves talk. Highly recommend!
