This popular establishment has a very attractive dining room with high ceilings and a lively bar along one side of the dining room. I started with a very capable linguine with nicely cooked chanterelle mushrooms and spinach (15/20). This was followed by an attractively displayed fan of slices of rare yellow-fin tuna, in the centre of which was a roll of pappardelle pasta containing decorative twigs of rosemary (15/20). The passion fruit soufflé was capable rather than inspired, the outer layer cooked just a little too much, though the filling had excellent flavour (14/20). Service was good, and both bread and coffee were fine. A very pleasant overall experience, though prices are a little high with main courses at around $34.

    Pricey, and portions were too large but what on the plate was pretty good. I had an excellent risotto followed by a delicious, if enormous barbecue pork chop. The tarte tatin dessert was also good, 15 seems like a fair mark. A beautiful, New York looking restaurant also.

    Almost ten years after your review (and 28 years after opening!) this place is still going strong. I ate here on a Saturday night and the place was buzzing with excitement. Efficient, casual, friendly service with decent food: Mayan shrimp cocktail, corn soup with peeky toe crab, and a ridiculously expensive (but satisfying) Niman ranch steak completed the experience. Although they appear to be playing it a bit conservative with menu choices this clearly is a place without an identity crisis. Assuming the "quintessential NYC dining experience" is somewhat subjective I'd still like to see a better example than this. Thumbs up.

    Creative and well presented food where they pile the food higher...and higher..and higher. In fact, didn't Gotham start this penchant for height way back when? A tad expensive.
