Azalea in other cities:
Solid food in beautiful room with vast windows to the street. Ended up being a perfect unplanned last minute pre theatre dine. Located a block from the Winter Garden. No muss or fuss. Just great food and service in the theatre district. If youre planning last minute pre theatre and they are open just book it.
26.06.2018 On our last night in New York we wanted something good to end off with. I even went to the point of asking a few NYPD officers whats their favourite spot near Times Square as i heard them telling some other visitors not to try the Sushi place next to where they were standing as its too expensive.Then i remembered a suggestion given to us by a friend, of an Italian spot near the theatre district. Now to find it with NO GPS signal and no one seems to know of it that we asked. A few blocks later we arrived. Very quiet, as most of the patrons that come here were inside the theatre so getting a seat was easy. Friendly staff, showed us to our seat. The menu is rather limited but has some of your Italian Favourites. My friend had the Minestrone Soup, and i took the Fried Calamari with Garlic Aioli. OH MY SOUL was that Calamari delicious. Crispy fried, yet so tender you could easily bite into it and it wasnt chewy. The batter was tasty, and combined with some lemon juice and their Aioli - absolute winner. My friend thoroughly enjoyed her soup too she said it was one of the best she has had.For mains we both opted for the Crab and Avocado Salad (very healthy for NYC i know)Amazing. Everything cooked to perfection. Fantastic portion sizes. Definitely a memorable dinner to leave a whirlwind 3 days trip in New York.Would definitely recommend it.#TheFoodMusketeer#TheFoodMusketeerEats#TheFoodMusketeerTravels#TFMTakesNewYork#TFMAzalea
This hidden gem is a regular for me on many trips through NYC. Great atmosphere, high ceilings, large windows, and always a few tables open it seems. Lunch menu is great as well for those in the area looking for a good meal during the day. Excellent prices; glass 9f wine, salad, and main course for around $50 per person. Small bar for the solo traveler if you like as well. Highly recommend the butternut ravioli or lasagna.
My wife and I went there with 45 minutes before our play was to start. The waiter told us we can have a one course meal so we both ordered salads. The food was very good and the service was excellent. We were able to get to our play with time to spare.
Very good,food allergy friendly for the most part, great food,not a insanely large menu but large in flavor 10/10 also good desserts
Had a nice pre-show dinner here. Wine was nothing special, but the food had great flavor. The meal started with a basket of bread which is always appreciated. Then we split bruschetta. For the entree, I got the Gnocchi Alla Sorrentina - yum!! Would go back here if I was looking for a theater Italian dinner.
The food and service were both great. Steak cooked exactly how I requested it. My girlfriend had the breaded chicken and said it was perfectly cooked and crispy. Service was polite and attentive. Small romantic cozy restaurant. Drinks were great as well!
Great place. We booked with Open Table for our NY trip and loved the food and service was amazing!!
Food was delicious. Perfect location if you are watching Wicked.Desserts fell short.
Food was amazing! We had bruschetta and calamari for appetizers, spaghetti and chicken parmigiana for main course and gelato for dessert. Staff was great, even sang Happy Birthday for my daughter. The restaurant is next door to Wicked, where we were going after.
Best accident on our five-day trip to NY. Dropped in and ate the best meal I had in NYC. Great service, amazing food. Go and enjoy.

We stumbled on this restaurant 4 years ago on a trip to Nyc. It was crowded and they graciously gave us a seat at the bar. The food was delicious! On this trip, we went back and it was so sad to see such a beautiful place empty. Our waiter, Johnny said they hope to get business back when theater returns. We were treated to a wonderful meal, beautiful surroundings and attentive service.Portions are perfect, prices are reasonable! The outdoor seating was not desirable, but inside was a wonderful experience. So glad we were able to give them business when they accommodated us that evening 4 years ago.
Service was great but food had no flavor and was a waste of money.
Perfect example of how looks can be deceiving. We walked in to an empty restaurant at 6pm in Times Square and thought we were in trouble…to the contrary. The food was excellent but the service was impeccable. Our host told us they are getting 4-5 tables a night due to the Theaters being closed, but he still comp’d us a drink as one of our 7 meals was delayed. I can’t recommend this place and it’s staff enough. Purely pleasurable experience.
Wonderful food - like a bite of Italy in NYC. The service was wonderful, too.
Mediocre Italian restaurant. There are many better places. Ordered the Salmon Spinach Pasta. It looked great, but was pretty tasteless. I was ill within half an hour. The Limoncello Mojito was excellent.
Omg so good!!!!!!Feel like in Italy. And the bar was amazing ❤
The food was amazing, best chicken (named after the restaurant) dish I have ever had, great waitress who recommended not by price but by quality was appreciated. Our bill without tip was $265 but includes a bottle of wine. Well worth it. If you are going to see Wicked this is a no brainer easy... reservation are recommended.
Simply delicious.The Gnocchi was spot on.The sauce was scrumptious. Id eat here every night if I could!
Food & service was amazing however the bread was as hard as a brick.
Wonderful staff. Penne bolognese was extra salty, but the affogato was perfection.
The best thing is definitely the garlic bites they give out. you need to be careful not to eat so much of that you get filled up. its a really fun and lively atmosphere, almost gimmicky. the food is decent, altho some of the dishes are kinda weird and not made the traditional (or conventional) way. taken the dining experience as a whole, i love this place
Took my daughters to a Broadway show to see Wicked and it was conveniently right next door to the Gershwin Theater. So parking the restaurant and the theater were all kind of connected witch made it nice and easy. The service was outstanding but the food was just okay to me... but my wife and girls loved it!
Overall decent experience for a party of 6. Took one star off for a bit of confusion with the wait staff and the bar. The food came out slower than the occupancy of the restaurant would suggest. The food was good and everyone had good things to say about their dish except there was always a but. For the average dish price charged Id think twice about going back but wouldnt be upset if a friend made a reservation.
Excellent, had light meal before seeing Wicked next door. Wine was great choice too
Based on reviews we thought this would be a good location for dinner before attending Wicked. We had a reservation for 6:00 and were seated promptly when we arrived. Food was honestly comparable to olive garden with outrageous NY prices. We felt very rushed to get in and get out to accommodate more people. The waiter actually took my plate within 2 seconds of setting my fork down. We were handled our check 35 minutes after being seated. My wife and I are from Florida and were taken back that we paid close to $90 for two pasta dishes, a $13 appetizer and 1 drink each. Im honestly confused at how this place rated so high. Tables are crammed together so be prepared to yell at each other to have a conversation.
Great food near the theater.
Impeccable service and delicious authentic Italian dishes!Smaller portions than expected for the pricing but it is NYC and was worth it.($18 for eggplant parm appetizer that was small 2-3 square...not enough for sharing as wed expected.)
Highly recommend this place! From minute u step in; sexy classy little 10-stool bar. Soaring 20 ft ceiling, so u do not feel crammed in. Food EXCELLENT; my veal chop was perfection. Service top notch; server Naz was attentive & professional. Value exceeded price, IMHO.
Delicious food!!! I will definitely come back when we visit the city again!
A small space but the food is delicious. The mushroom risotto is mixed in a cheese wheel. Yes a cheese wheel for that cheesey flavor. Once you had their risotto you will start asking other restaurants do they make their risotto in a cheese wheel. If they dont you will politely decline. I promise...
It was a spontaneous selection given its close proximity to the Neil Simon theater and price fixed lunch option. Excellent bolognese, porcini ravioli, and pistachio gelato! All of our selections were fresh and flavorful. Service was exceptional...thanks Johnny for the great experience! Highly recommend.
Always get consistently FABULOUS tasting food every time we have come here over many years. We are always celebrating a birthday or anniversary and they always do something beautiful to make you feel extra special, above and beyond their normal GREAT service from their excellent staff. Staff actually remember us even though there is long time between our visits. This year, celebrating my wifes Birthday, Giovanni made our visit WONDERFULLY SPECIAL!!! THANK YOU to all the wonderful staff there, and compliments to the chef as each of our meals were AWESOME!!!
Excellent service. The best service weve had in years of dining out all over America.Wonderful food with the emphasis on quality over quantity. (They serve a high quality reasonably sized portion instead of drowning you in mediocre fare.)I would strongly recommend this restaurant for your next special occasion.
Nice location, but food just adequate and not worth the price. My wife had lamb chops that were small and thin. Tasted all right she said (but not like the fabulous ones at Old Homestead at the Borgata). Complained to the manager who was kind enough to give us free dessert, but he explained that portions in NYC are small. That’s not been my experience, at least not this small. Would have preferred better main course though. The bread was not stale but not fresh either. Again, adequate. Drink prices were exorbitant. I’ve never paid this much for a drink of scotch anywhere (probably 3 oz, not especially large). Cocktails were equally pricy. Desserts again weren’t especially noteworthy. My wife had warm chocolate cake, where the opportunity for an OMG reaction to deep chocolate flavor is always potentially there. That mark wasn’t reached here. My apple tart was more a bread pudding consistency with apple pieces embedded inside. Adequate. The coffee was very good (finally something) and the cream was served hot, which is very sensible and I don’t know why more restaurants don’t do that. Service was good. The waiter was polite, efficient and there was no delay in delivering the food to the table.
Ridiculously Great ! I went on my birthday, Jan 5 before seeing Jersey Boys. Looking at the menu, I couldnt decide between two dishes. The waiter said why dont we split both meals and bring you half of each? Are you kidding me ??? Great food, great service!!! Going again in April...where else would YOU go ?
I went with my girls friends to the restaurant. All the dishes had huge flaws, lacked exactly what a patron orders it for. The fettuccine was watery and not smooth, the risottos were a miserable quantity for a dinner entree, the shrimp was chewy and the gnocchi was too cheesy! Such a disappointment for a huge price that too.
The mark of a great restaurant is when you forget to make a reservation and the staff goes out of their way to make your dining experience outstanding. Bravo! The food was superb, we ordered sea bass and the filet, both entrees were excellent. Flavor was perfect and plate size just right. Thanks to Mauricio and Clara for a perfect evening. Do not miss eating at this great NYC restaurant,
The martini with rosemary was delicious! Very refreshing with just the right amount of sweetness. I had the daily special risotto, which was with sweet gorgonzola, pear, and and red wine, which was also very nice. The service was excellent. As an added bonus, they were putting up adorable Christmas decorations. Highly recommend.
This place was okay not great, except for the crab salad which was perfect. I can make a better bolognese sauce then what I was served, which is sad to say, but there is a difference between delicate flavor and no flavor. The bread they served tasted like it just came out of a bag, and the tapenade in oil was meh. I definitely left feeling disappointed. 😞
While this restaurant was ideal location for the Wicked performance, from the moment I sat down the experience was disappointing. It took a while to be greated at the table, they were out of the entree I was interested in. Once I ordered I received a soufflé that was dense and under done and served with a broken sauce. The Carbonara was served with rubbery prosciutto, no flavor and a broken sauce as well. Not even the table bread was good- left you with a burnt taste in your mouth. My server was no where to be found for a refill or replacement dish. With all the positive google reviews, I was left hungry and wanting more.
We always come here when we visit Manhattan. I love the meaty and delicious Bolognese and homemade Fettuccini. On this visit my wife had spectacular rack of lamb cooked medium rare. The atmosphere is friendly and quiet if you come late as we did after 10:00pm. The intimate dining room is quite nice and the staff very helpful.
Good service. Nice to have gluten free pasta. Red snapper was fine, not overly flavorful. Salads were very tasty. Creme brulee was good. Excellent theater location
Great lunch experience.. service was excellent and the food was awesome!
Woow! The pasta was amazing! We were in a hurry to get up to the rock, running around trying to find a great romantic restaurant - with no luck. We then decided to just take the first best and how happy we are it was this one. It was quiet, clean, great service and the pasta was totally amazing.
I got a recommendation from Sheraton Times Square for an Italian restaurant. The food is excellent and the bar tender is superb. Couldnt ask for a more professional bar tender, Victoria. If you have a chance go here and you will not be disappointed. Food is amazing. I had the lasagna.
This restaurant was highly recommended by the front desk clerk at our hotel. We were not disappointed! The service was outstanding and the food was simply delicious! My friend and I got the special which was a shrimp and gnocchi dish. It was superb! I highly recommend this restaurant and I will visit when I am in NYC again.
We and my husband Jamie celebrated our anniversary in Azalea ristorante, as soon as we walked in Martiio made us feel at home and welcomed. The service was excellent, our server who was a sweet girl from Romania was so attentive and loving towards us. Food is the star of the evening, we dined on octopus, jumbo shrimp and stuffed chicken. Absolutely recommended!
Average. The waiter was very nice -- a lovely guy. The food was good but not superb -- and the restaurant was freezing! Might be a nice place in warmer weather -- but too cold for the dead of winter!
My husband and I went to see a Broadway show and Azalea was right in the corner. The food was delicious, the waiter was very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. The decor is welcoming. Perfect for a romantic date.
Excellent service and high quality of food
We were originally referred to eat there prior to a show, have since ate there numerous times. Amazing food, service and location. We have recommended to friends and will continue to recommend. Awesome !
Concierge of a hotel recommended it to me, it was very noisy outside when I went because there was construction going on all around but the food was amazing and well priced for the quality and quantity, the waitress was very nice and took a group photo of us. Whenever I travel back up north to NYC I will definitely be coming here again.
Went there after the Wicked show. Staff was extremely courteous. Of course there was only one other table occupied at 10PM. Waiter made a good wine recommendation and we took his suggestion on the entree. The entree was disappointing. The ravioli, which had obviously been pre-cooked earlier in the evening, hadn’t been warmed up enough so the pasta was a bit tough. The sauce for the pasta was lukewarm was well. Desert was similar. Creme Brûlée was good, but the Tiramisu was forgettable. No espresso flavor whatsoever and extremely soggy ladyfingers again suggested a dish that has been prepared too many hours in advance. For the price I paid, I felt like there was little value here at all.
The food was better than I expected. Portions adequate, but if you hungry might be costly for you. Pre fixe lunch was $30. The temperature inside the building was just so cold. Not for children. But great for a business lunch.
The food is some of the best in NYC & the drinks are delicious. The bartender Lorenzo knows his craft & is very friendly. The mgr Clara comes around to greet you & is always very helpful. I visit at least once a week bc I find myself craving their food. Highly recommend it!!!
The service was amazing. Had the Pre-Theater fixed price menu...food was delicious and we had plenty of time to enjoy ourselves and not feel rushed. The calamari and bruschetta were fresh and delicious and the tiramisu was the perfect finish. Side note: enter through door next to Gershwin theater as there is construction on 51st St blocking main entrance.
Had dinner for the first time before Jersey boys show in July. Absolutely fantastic service and food. We both had the azalea chicken it was amazing. Carpaccio and calamari was fresh !Absolutely recommend this restaurant if your heading to a show
Based on other Google reviews, we chose Azalea due to its location and prestige; we werent disappointed. Nestled between theaters (the restaurant nearly serves as the Gershwin theaters front door), this little Italian mashup made it easy to get a same-day reservation, and did a great job moving service along, as we had tickets to a show.The wine list is lacking somewhat, but what selections they carry are solid. We started with the best item, a goat cheese and pear souflee. I highly recommend it. My fiancee enjoyed the Chicken Azalea, with an excellent and balanced blend of flavors. The chicken was cooked perfectly, but if youre not a fan of cheese, it could be a bit overwhelming. I enjoyed by veal ravioli, which, while good in itself, was merely a vehicle for a great alfredo.Desserts were good, and kudos to the restaurant for the passion fruit gelato--in my opinion, passion fruit should be a staple for summer dining. If you go, be prepared to repeat your order, as the wait staff doesnt always speak perfect English: it adds to the charm, but I imagine some diners are easily frustrated with language barriers, even in NYC.
I ordered the rigatoni bolognese and woke up in the middle of the night throwing up. I didn’t have anything to eat or drink after dinner so it had to be this meal. There’s a million Italian restaurants in Manhattan, there’s nothing special about this one, so go somewhere else — or at least avoid the bolognese sauce.
We had a party of 8 women to Azalea to celebrate my 40th Birthday. Every meal we ordered was wonderful. (and we all made sure to try a bite of each entrée!) The cocktails and wine that were recommended, as well as the cappuccinos at the end of the meal were delicious. Our service was wonderful as well. We could not have been happier with our dining experience, and would all choose to return to Azalea for another meal!
Enjoyed a great Dinner, amazing linguine and clams, great white wine, nice decor and ambiance. And they gave me a cake and drinks on the house for my birthday. I had an amazing time. Great place.
I went there right after seeing Wicked (which is amazing). Azalea is located right around the corner from Wicked and the food was delicious. I had the Calamari Fritti for an appetizer which were fried perfectly and was not chewy at all. For my entrée, I had the veal stuffed ravioli with white truffle sauce. If it has anything to do with truffles, you can count me in and this dish did not disappoint. The veal was very flavorful and the sauce was not overwhelming with truffles. It was a very good meal after an amazing show.
Waiter was very accommodating. Octopus appetizer was a little bland. Everything else was delicious. Very convenient when going to the Gershwin theater.
Food was average . Service was not the friendliest. When we told them hotel made reservation for our anniversary and requested dessert to be on them they still made us pay for one .
Excellent. My squid ink risotto. My friends fresh made fettucine. The service. All wonderful. And super convenient for the Upper Theater District.
Amazing Truffle Mushroom Risotto. Best service and drinks in New York
Perfect for a super fast bite before Wicked. Wouldnt go there otherwise. Tables are way too close together and youre constantly being knocked by the wait staff.
Good food, great price. The food was excellent. Unassuming place with solid service and food. Good if you want a good meal without spending a lot.
Really terrific restaurant. Our server, Jovani, was super helpful and the food was just delicious. Great service and nice atmosphere. We had tickets to Wicked and it was just steps from the restaurant!!
Awesome restaurant with great service. I had a speciall fillet minion and it was one of the best I had in my life. Great vibes. Will definitely return when I visit New York again!!!
The mushroom risotto is life changing. Promise you once you had tried it you will always want your risotto to be prepared in a cheese wheel... Anything else is just settling for less.
Fabulous food. House special was delish. Very nice and happy wait staff and greeters. Pleasant atmosphere. The food was worth the price.
Great Italian food and the wine was AMAZING!
Very nice staff and the food was amazing! Definitely recommend!
I had made reservations and wanted to have my girlfriends birthday acknowledged, I explained this to the server but never checked to see what I had requested on the online reservation. The food wasnt amazing and a bit pricey. Enjoyed the atmosphere though.
Good food but expensive. Had seafood pasta that was amazing. Good options for kids but each kids meal is about $16. Beers are about $8. Good service.
Good food. A perfect place for pre theater dinner.
Nice Italian restaurant, no pizza and there is definitely better cheaper meal in NY! Good place to go before a Broadway show, close to lots of Theatres
Great location for pre-theater. The space and the service are fine. The food is not great. I dont need to ever go back. You can do better.
Nice place, not over the top or uber-trendy. But across the board good food and drinks. Nothing I wouldnt recommend...
It’s Right next to Gershwin theatre. The food was and good and the staff were nice but the service was kind of slow. Well worth the wait though!
Food and Service was good. Wine is outrageously expensive. Forced to get House Wines which were marginal at best.
Nice atmosphere, attentive service and the food was really good. My filet came out perfect !
This was my first time here but I come to NYC all the time and I will be back,the food,the service was outstanding. I love it!!!
Gluten free pasta! Awesome bartender that is fancy and spins everything she touches. Very friendly staff and fast service.
I visit here every time I come to the city and their food never disappoints. Everything is so good!
Service and food were very good. Sauce was very creamy, large portions.
Very good choice in times square area.Food was very good.Well presented.Comfortable ambiance.Service is competent.A good solid upscale Italian restaurant.
Good service, delicious food, and a good time overall! Ordered tiramisu for dessert and it was fantastic!
The food is so delicious! The service is amazing! Definitely a must try!
Great food and awesome service. People are super gentle and take care of everything for you to feel welcome.
Great service, terrible food. Portions were small, no side salad. Not worth your money.
Good food, no complaints. I had the veal ravioli and lasagna with a bottle of red wine.
Food was okay, service was poor, prices are outrageous. Should I continue? Simply a tourist trap.
Delicious... exceptional presentation!Johnny provided outstanding, over the top service for a special request!
Nice casual place for a show. The food was tasty and the wait staff was friendly and well trained.
Had lunch before show. Food was very good and waiter very attentive. Would recommend
Currently sitting here this place is terrible, huge attitude from staff and the sautéed spinach is tasteless and almost inedible. Very disappointed in this meal.
Nice service, average food
Slow service. Three of us had heartburn after dinner. One order was not prepared as requested.
Nice interior, good service, food has a very good presentation but no flavor. super overpriced.
An average meal at slightly higher prices than the quality warrants. one of those restaurants where there are no bad dishes but no really good ones either.
Very upscale atmosphere, good food great drink good service, was with a few friends sat at the bar and had a good time.
Meh. Not as high scale as should be for the price. Not opposed to paying more for great food. Could be better all around.
Very nice Italian restaurant,Everything is great! Great service, great food and a nice atmosphere.
Amazing authentic Italian cuisine with fantastic service! Most definitely recommend it!
We just happened to go in here on the way to the Gershin theater. It was surprisingly good for something we just wandered into without checking reviews etc.
Delicious. Good service. Carbonara was great, not too rich.
Food was delicious and wine was good, service was terrific!
Food was good and the maître d along with the staff were great, very welcoming and helpful.
Nice and good foodStaff are professional but may need to be more welcoming
The decor, environment and service are great. The food... not so much.
Great place. Get the grilled calamari. Very quiet after the evening show at Gershwin theatre.
Great for a glass of wine in the theater district. Food is unremarkable.
Courteous and friendly. Lentil soup and minestrone soup were great!I highly recommend Azalea.
The absolute best authentic Italian. Super gracious service. To die for food.
Great staff...warm and friendly...the food is basic though...stick to the appetizers
Great service warm cozy environment great food good prices...close to theaters
The food is great good place to eat before going to see wicked
I had a good meal before the theater. I would recommend it.
Best food in the big apple every thing my family and I ordered was cooked to perfection!!
Okay food and service. Convenient if youre going to see Wicked.
Food was great. Service was good. Id go back.
I just had a delightful dinner at Azaela. I highly recommend it! Many more stars !!!

2022-07-04We made reservations at Azalea since it was very close to our Broadway show, and the menu looked amazing. Our show got out a bit earlier than we expected, and we were grateful that they had no problem taking us anyway. I was surprised at how quiet the restaurant was for a Saturday night, but it made for a nice dining experience for us. We enjoyed our meals of the paccheri ragu and grilled salmon, but the appetizer of beef carpaccio stuck out to me the most. It was so flavorful with the shallot and caper dressing! We were finished with our meal in just under an hour, which was nice, but the experience did feel a bit rushed. The staff was very professional, but not exactly the friendliest. Overall, a good choice when you’re in Times Square.

2022-01-03What a wonderful place! Overall the food was amazing. I ordered the caprese and mushroom risotto and my friend ordered the chicken parmesan. I would definitely recommend the risotto.

2022-04-03Had dinner there this past Saturday night. Host who greeted us at the door was amazingly accommodating. Very nice and personable. However our waiter was the polar opposite. He was more interested in schmoozing with people who he thought were c list celebrities at best. The food took well over 30 minutes to come and at no point during our week did he come over to check on us or to advise us that there was a holdup in the kitchen. And upon bringing us our check when I wrote zero in the spot for the tip he had the audacity to come back over and inform me that gratuity was not included in the price. So I simply said to him I know, this isnt my first rodeo I just figured youd prefer it in cash but if youd like I can put it on the card! He snapped right up when he saw the wad of 50s 20s and hundreds that I was holding in my hand. Unfortunately he didnt get any if that. I tipped him the bare minimum and gave what would have been the rest of his tip to the host. Of all the places in New York City I probably wouldnt visit this one again just because of the experience he allowed me to have. Best thing about it was how close it was to where we were going after.

2022-02-22Great location if you are going to Wicked and want to keep an eye on the line to get in. The atmosphere is nice, good for a date night, and the service was good. My complaint would be the food. It is good, but not worth the price. In my opinion, you can get this meal at any chain Italian restaurant in America... so considering the quality of food you typically find in New York, this was a let down.

2022-06-11Wish there was a 2 1/2. Have them the benefit of the doubt for good service. Very limited menu.The chicken schnitzel was tasty but the chicken mornay was so-so. The spinach was kind of tasteless. We sat outside and the street noise was not a plus. They were emptying out the garbage from the building next store into a huge waste disposal truck. Not exactly an ambience enhancer.It was very convenient to get to the theater from there. Service was very good. Still pricey for what was their very limited menu. Would NOT recommend.

Review №7
2022-05-27Most of the food was bland and all of it was unimpressive and too pricey for that reason. The Linguine Vongole and the Gnocchi were both incredibly bland and lacking on salt. The former had no garlic as well. The mushroom risotto was too oily and liquidy. The Caesar salad was okay but lacking in flavor, while the burrata was decent. I would give it 2.5 stars if possible.

2020-01-19Excellent food, artfully presented. Top notch service. My water glass was never empty. Pear and endive salad was one of the best salads Ive ever had. Gnocchi and Chicken Azalea were outstanding. The Apple honey cake we had for dessert was like warm, soft bread pudding. Highly recommend.
