I am puzzled
Food was poor, tasteless, no presentation. The china was probably the most subpar I have ever seen. The glasses of wine looked like they are serving kids. Honestly, this is New York city, known for its great food. I am puzzled how this restaurant does so well. I sent my food back and didn't another meal. Salty and cold, and I like salt but it was truly unappetizing.

Great place If...
If you like paying exorbinate prices for minimal portions and service with the attitude and promptness of a disgruntled DMV clerk, then you'll love it here. Why some people working for gratuities presume it is in their best interest to show complete disregard to the point of professional negligence towards those who they are expecting to contribute to their income will always be a mystery to me.

just to be seen
On a Friday night at 9PM the place is jammed. The lights are bright (in order to "be seen") and the service is slow so that you just can spend your time staring at all the models and europeans that walk in. As for the food, it is fair. The tuna tartar was a good appetizer but the main course branzino being $35 and just a piece the size of your hand with nothing else on the plate is a complete waste of money. Go for a glass of champagne, admire everyone and then go somewhere else to eat.

whats the big deal?
My husband and I went here when the wait at Balthazor's was too long. It was recommended by a New Yorker as his favorite - pleas-s-s-se? The service was good, but the atmosphere was not much to speak of, tables were on top of each other, the food was ok at best, and it was ridiculously overpriced. If you want great food, come to New Orleans, we need the business, and you'll love it!! And, "no" we are not still underwater - residential areas need a ton of help, but hotels, restaurants, and tourist areas are up and running.

What a disappointment
Overpacked, overpriced,overrated. Remarkably disappointing. Don't waste your time or money. Stay at the Cipriani in Venice and experience the real meaning of ambiance!

Overpriced & Overcrowded!
Went to the West Bway location for a friends b-day dinner. I was over the lunch room cafeteria scene years ago in HS. We were seated at a long "picnic-like" table whose access was literally stepping over the benches and people seated in them. Fortunately my date had on jeans (no skirt was getting over those benches). The food was average (I had over cooked filet mignon) and came in small portions (not that I wanted to eat anymore of it). The service was prompt but a bit es. The only good thing about the place was its drinks (though they were over priced). Not good.

WOW o WOW
I'm a man who will tell you this, the LADIES that walk in and out of this place were unbelievable and it was non-stop. I was with a couple of my guy friends and we all started laughing because we couldn't believe the woman that kept coming. The bread with the red sause was great, the veal was superb but very small we're talking about maybe 7 bites worth and it's a main dish, the pasta with the veal sause i was not a fan of AT ALL. I didn't drink so i can't comment on that, but lets go back to the atmosphere, UNREAL. I was in shock for the fact that I sat outside (which is a must) and watched for two hours while bombshell after bombshell came and left. But lets just say it's not cheap, and it's very small and tight in there but you deal with it, it's worth it. Also I think you def. need to make a reservation for the place, because the entire time it was packed and we started dinner at around 9:30 on a thurs night. Also it's a really nice to place to bring a date you're trying to impress, everyone there is good looking, girls and guys.
