The attentive service and professional staff, along with the soothing atmosphere, makes the visit that much more pleasant. The food was delicious, beautifully composed, and served in a timely manner. The portions were just the right size, yet filling, leaving our appetites fulfilled half way through the meal.

Our dishes, the grilled block island Swordfish served with asparagus and vegetables and the linguini with clams in white wine sauce, were cooked to perfection. We also appreciated the complimentary lemonade, it was a sweet touch.

The highlight of the experience and our favorite part of the meal, was the dessert, the warm truffle cake topped with chocolate sorbet tasted heavenly. It literally melted in our mouths. The delicious meal, relaxing setting and beautiful views combined, left us feeling beyond satisfied and pleased. You’ll surely want to extend your visit to NYC after an experience as visually and deliciously appealing as this.
