Each location represented a piece of history of SoHo. Food was tasty and interesting as well as the drinks. Jay was attentive and engaging.

The only thing we would do differently is not purchase the wine pairing. There were several wines available, but only 3 courses had wine pairings and the wines were very average or below average. We would have preferred better wines and next time will buy a bottle or two of wine instead of doing the wine pairing. I must also compliment the company for finding my husband's jacket that he had left…”
