We were excited to see Nicole and so glad she came to our table to greet us. She had intended for us to sit in her section which we were overjoyed for but with our 91 yo guest we needed to be at a table close to the bathroom for him and an exit door. Please put in our profile, we would like Nicole to serve us when we dine at the restaurant. Thank you.

It was 5 stars across the board! This place is a hidden gem in Midtown. Love the ambiance of this spot. Dining room is an intimate spot with cozy seating. We were seated right away by the hostess out in the patio around where the plants give the space a quiet semi private haven with minimal noise from the street. Marco our server came right over to ask if we wanted water ( they have choices!), see if we had any questions about the menu and to take our drink orders. Apart from Marco being wonderful what we also noticed was the teamwork exhibited by all the staff. Every server who walked by our table spoke and enquired if we needed anything. The young ladies who brought our drink, stopped and chatted. The manager stopped by our table to check on our food and the service. The food was delicious! Bisque was rich and creamy with lots of crab. Our fish entrees flaky, juicy and not overdone. We didn't have time for dessert but no worries, I'm sure we'll be back.

Service was great except for the waiter stayed at our table way too long and talked way too much. Liked him but it was so excessive we felt like we didnt have enough one on one time. Bizarre since he had other tables. Would def go back but not be as friendly to the wait staff for this reason.
