4.0
We celebrated our first family reunion in New York here, and it was absolutely beautiful with such an upscale vibe! The food was fabulous — we ordered salads, crab cakes, vegetables, and two prime ribs (perfect size for four). By default, all prime ribs are cooked to a perfect medium rare, and they even served ours halved — just right for sharing!We started with cocktails and ended with wine and dessert cakes, which made the evening even more special. From the moment we entered to the time we left, the service and atmosphere felt like stepping into another world.Pricing is on the higher end — easily $200+ per person — but for the quality and experience, it feels well worth it.As for the dress code, it shouldn’t be a problem — just avoid shorts and athletic wear. Clean, upscale casual is perfectly fine, though you’ll also see people dressed very elegantly.Highly recommend for a memorable dining experience! - Karl Kwon
