Maybe Danny Meyer and I just don't mix. But this, like all the others, seems to over promise and under deliver. But if you're trying to impress, few places are more show-y in midtown.

The 8 course meal was not filling. We expected a filling and tasty experience. Better luck next time...elsewhere.
Michele CenzerJune 5, 2011
Mushroom soup is excellent. Citrus carpaccio is delicious. The spaetzle was a tad salty.
