Great dinner with family tonight, a Friday night in the city. We were a party of 5 and we made a…read morereservation. The place was located on a cute circle in Hell's Kitchen with indoor and outdoor seating and offered a "Yappy Hour": (any day) bring your dog to receive 50% off cocktails. Sweet deal, & have a menu for your dog, as well! (In hindsight, there was no wonder there were so many dogs there! ) I ordered the spicy gin margarita which had a kick but was so delicious. My cousin ordered it too and enjoyed the spice. To eat, we enjoyed wings, some lemon chicken soup and guac with pita to start. I lovveed the soup. Wish it came in a larger bowl - would absolutely ordered that again. Time for our entrees. My husband and I shared the parpadelle short rib ragu because my husband was pretty full from all the apps. (So good!) it really was a 10/10. It was perfectly seasoned and did not disappoint. My aunt ordered the fish and chips and my cousin the spaghetti Pomodoro. Everyone enjoyed their meals and the hospitality of the staff. Thank you for an awesome dinner!

When you get the fish and chips for the lunch special, it's one fish and flavor wise, it's just ok. The Caesar salad was also decent, it's basically two romaine strips with dressing. There is another salad option that's much better. Some of my coworkers got the chicken sandwich or burger which seemed to be the better pick. The ice cream was a plus

I don't think I'll ever look at another Caesar salad the same way again. We sat outside, and there was plenty of outdoor seating while still getting some of the cool AC drifting out from the restaurant, which was deeply appreciated on a hot New York day. Fantastic food, wonderful atmosphere, and a Caesar salad that has completely ruined all other Caesar salads for me. I can't wait to come back.

The space is really nice amd intimate with the ability to accommodate a group with a reservation. Even though it's right on the corner you had no street noise. Our waiter Papa Samba was great and attentive. Their mocktail and old fashion were amazing. Shrimp cocktail was an over the top presentation and tasted good with a new twist . Our entrees again were great: roasted chicken that melted in your mouth and mushroom risotto that was very good also. The added show stopper was the banana split. Never got the concept, however, theirs made me a believer. It was great and tasted like two desserts in one (creme brulee and banana split). If all banana splits were like this, I'd be a fan. Definitely will come back for sure.

The flavor was great and it was just enough to fill me. The fish and chips were very delicious. The batter was nice and fluffy and the fish was huge. We loved the French onion soup, it had great flavor and the cheese on top made it so amazing! everything came out hot and delicious. We got there pretty early and I wish that we had gone on a day they had breakfast. The breakfast photos caught my eye. After we paid and gave our 20% auto gratuity, our waiter Jose asked if we wanted to leave additional gratuity. Our tip was already $25 and I was actually surprised he asked for more. We declined and left. Out of my whole entire trip this was the only restaurant that asked for more than the 20%. I found it rather odd. My review is based off the food itself.

Update: After my…read moreoriginal review, I was contact with management and they really helped to turn things around. He took the time to listen to our concerns and invited our group back so we could give their group another chance. While I still stand by how our initial experience made us feel, I also think it's important to acknowledge when a business owner responds with professionalism and genuinely works to rebuild trust. Our return visit was a completely different experience. I appreciate the way the owner handled the situation and his willingness to have an open conversation with us. It doesn't change what happened that first night, but it did change my impression of how much he cares about his guests and his business. I wanted my review to reflect that as well.

I was quite surprised by my personal experience as it fell short of what I hoped for. Ambiance and decor were typical for a Saturday evening dinner: dark and loud, however, it was very dim due to it being a railroad set up with no windows except for the very front of the space. The decor is dark as well and gave a cave vibe. The restaurant was EXTREMELY hot. We asked the waiter about the A/C and his response was "they are working on it". The restaurant remained uncomfortably hot for our entire meal. No windows, no air flow, no A/C is a combination for misery. The bar was almost the entire length of the restaurant and was the only well-lit area of the restaurant. It was not separate from the seated areas. Our table was cocktail size and definitely too small for 3 guests. Service was mediocre. I asked our waiter about a drink and he did not know. I asked the same waiter about the A/C and received a lame answer. He was not knowledgeable nor timely. We had to ask for plates when the food arrived because we ordered finger foods to share. The food took a long time to be served (over 20 minutes). The place is small so I guess my expectation of faster service was too much to hope for. The food was touch and go. My friend's husband ordered a cheeseburger and fries. He seemed to enjoy it and as you can see from the picture it was a basic plate of food. I shared a salad, fried olives and charcuterie board with my friend. The olives were edible. They had a breaded coating that can be found on frozen breaded foods from your local grocery. The dipping sauce saved them. The rest of the items were plain. Nothing to praise and nothing to complain about. I was disappointed in our lemon bar dessert. It was horrible. The flavor was a dull lemon like one drop of flavoring was incorporated in it. The plate had no whipped cream or mint leaves for presentation. I was very unimpressed. Again, service was slow as the waiter said it would be right out. 10 minutes passed and we had to ask another waiter for it. Not good at all. The table next to us received 2 huge sundaes with sparklers on top. They looked so fun! The bathroom was the tinier than an airplane lavatory. Should an obese person need to use it they will not be able to fit inside. Dark and almost unusable due to it's small size and no ventilation. Could not see if the bathroom was clean but it did not smell. I give this place a 2.5 out of 5. If you are looking for a great culinary experience this is not the place for you. There is alot of room for improvement and I probably will not go back.

For dinner, I got the salmon with fingerling potatoes, cauliflower, and a parsley sauce. The sauce came on the side so I could control the amount. Service was friendly, fast, and kind.
