The food was out of this world and I had the jalapeño passion fruit cocktail. The service was wonderful and the decaf was amazing. We had the gazpacho and a salad that we split, stuffed squash blossoms, and the cauliflower. We split everything and had the cannoli for dessert. With ice cream.

Excellent restaurant! I would highly reccommend. The food was fantastic along with the service. The menu was great, lots to choose from. Beautiful decor. Fantastic location, so close to Central Park. If you are vegan, you must try it! Very impressed.

I'm not a vegetarian. I was celebrating with my vegan nephew. Food was well prepared and servers were attentive. Prices were higher than I expected

I literally had to go back and read for what crazy reasons someone might give this place less than 5 stars. lol Best service, great atmosphere, amazing food… I'm in love with this place! Obviously, it's something for an occasion. But whoever says it's too expensive has no clue of how much it costs to keep a restaurant of this level in Manhattan. And to have it flowing in perfect timing like that… wow! Good job everyone!
