I sat at the bar counter seat as I dined by myself and it’s a pleasant dinner as the room felt energetic and the service from the bartender was great interacting a bit but not too much to the point to cross the line. I had the salt cod fritters, grilled prawn and the peri peri chicken. Everything was delicious and cooked well (fritters were crispy outside and well seasoned, chicken was moist) but the prawn was the star of the night! The sauce is sumptuous and pairs beautifully with the prawn. I’ll go back just for it!!

Wonderful experience. Their selection of alcohol left my husband very happy. He got a flight that left him speechless. The food was so delicious and only topped by the amazing service we received. We will definitely come back next time we are in New York.
