Chef: Gavin Kaysen (Where you might know him from: was a participant on Foodnetwork's Next Iron Chef. Chef Kaysen also spent a lot of time chatting with patrons in the dining room. He clearly enjoys his status.)
Location: 76th btwn Fifth & Madison
Ease of reservation: Opentable - 8:45pm
Greeting: Quick and warm but we were asked to wait a few minutes
Table: Banquette seating - unusual in that we were seated side-by-side but facing out into the rest of the dining room. It felt odd at first, but having the larger table and being able to see the room was a nice treat.
Server: Initially thought our server treated us with an aloof attitude but by the end he warmed up and was pleasant and friendly.
Wait time: Time to order food and items coming between courses felt to be a reasonable/acceptable wait.
Menu: Ordered the Tasting Menu.
Check please: Honestly, it's been so long I can't recall if we had to ask or were given one at meal's end. But again, our server redeemed himself. When he brought the check, he informed us of the rain and told us to take our timing paying and leaving.
Worth a return visit: We wouldn't say no, especially if we were in the area. But of all the places to dine in NYC, I'd rather try and find another gem.
