"The food does not fit aesthetics at all, and this is a compliment to eat, not to decor. A place that has a fleet license should have more beautiful tables, like those sitting in the pedestrian zone outside Macy's. I think the glass my bourbon got into might have had more weight than the chair I sat in. The [black] ambience does not make me bring people here, although the food is delicious. I've never been in the original place, but the UWS site was very cheeky looking and feeling it actually feels like an old timey ice salon (which again, does not fit on the menu, or the fact that you have a liquor license.... . I paid $45 for chicken parm, a tiny side salad and a cocktail, but I felt as if I were in a mall to swallow what the price. We went over the street to Tavern at the corner to get another drink after dinner, and we sat there twice as long as we had a complete meal (including appetizer in this facility). Really crispy, chintzy aesthetics."
