    My wife and I brought our 3 and 4 y/o’s for an 8:30pm sitting for dinner. Of course, having just arrived from the west coast it was only 5:30pm our time. Needless to say, ours were the only children in the place. The staff were warm and friendly, treated my beautiful wife and children with respect. Food was excellent, especially the braised veal chop and desserts! My little was in heaven while digging into her sorbet! My only regret is that I should have given a larger tip.

    I thought the mussels were really good, and my husband loved his steak with chimichuri. This is a good choice for a meal before a performance at Lincoln Center—prompt and good service. A little loud for my own tastes, but most restaurants are.
