All of the servers were absolutely amazing! Thank you Olivia and thank you young man in the cowboy hat! The food was surprisingly good. I say “surprisingly” because two of us are South Carolinians and the local recommended Virgil’s. We were skeptical but absolutely loved it down to the Carolina Gold sauce! We will be back next time I’m in town!

The seafood boil was delicious! All of the seafood was fresh and having to peel your shrimp was a fun dining experience.

The ambience and the food were amazing. The crudos were particularly delicious. And we loved the entire staff, especially our server, Rene. He was so personable and gracious. This was our first visit, but it is now our new favorite UES restaurant. Can’t wait to come back again soon:)

This was my 2nd time dining here. Last week my husband and I came to NYC to see a show and had breakfast at Lola's which was very good. Yesterday I went to NYC with a girlfriend who doesn't get to NYC too often, we went here for lunch before our show, which was just as enjoyable as the 1st time. The decor is lemons and yellow and white stripes which make you feel like your in Sicily!!!! Fun atmosphere. Pleasant staff. Good food and drinks. What more can you ask for!!!
