I was disappointed with our dining experience. We had a group of nine. Seating was very cramped. The service was poor. The food was pretty good. But, I've had much better in NY. I will go elsewhere next time.

The food is good, but waaaay overpriced. I mean it's basically a wall street crowd with prices to match. You can easily get a lobster in Chinatown that's the same quality but half the price. I don't think it's...
