My wife and I had a fantastic dinner at this new and up and coming NYC hotspot. The servers/staff were all very accommodating and friendly (a rarity for typical stylish NYC spots). The decor brings you back to a time when you could smoke while drinking a martini, listen to music while out with the rat pack type vibes. The food, Americana classics with a twist. Fantastic drinks and overall fun night! - Peter Santo
