$$$$$ Me and my girlfriend we were looking for an italian restaurant. Service was excellent very friendly staff. Food is overpriced for what it is $100 for a pepperoni pizza, pasta and 2 small cokes. The Place is fancy if you’re trying to impress your partner but if you’re just traveling not a good place to eat at.

160$ for 3 people, Service is terrible and not to mention you have to pay gratuity so they do not bother being good costumer service. If i could tip 0$ i absolutely would. Seafood boil was bland serving size is TREMENDOUSLY different from the cover of the meal. Overall dissatisfaction.

$10 for a sandwich is a bit high, but this is NYC. The sandwich was tasty, but nothing to write home about. The best thing is that it was close to the hotel.

This place is horrible the bartender was so rude he couldn’t hear me and I was loosing my voice so I couldn’t yell so I text on my phone and then I couldn’t hear his response so he screamed at me I was completely sober and the people around me all looked at me like ready for me to go off but as mentioned I was sober and just walked in with my friends so I let it slide. (The drink was also horrible) Then going to the bathroom I went to knock on a door bc I was waiting a long time and the bouncer pushed me again I was sober it wasn’t an aggressive knock. He also grab my friend when she went to look at her self in the mirror. He was so rude and nasty this place sucks!!!! Do not go they don’t deserve your money it’s right and boring I. There anyway only went bc it was open later and up the block from my friends house.

Great mixology here, great cocktails. I really enjoy having great conversations here. I come here often, and service has always been great. Prices are a bit reasonable for what you get, but it's a good time every time I'm in the Chinatown area. Great place!

Tourist trap restaurant with annoying guy harassing people for Google reviews. Bait and switched us on Happy Hour drinks - they told us when ordering second drink that the buy one get one free did not apply that day even though it was Tuesday and the menu stated Mon-Fri until 7:00 happy hour. Crooks.
