by Gina M. on Don't really see what the big hype is about this place... Went here for restaurant week a couple weeks ago and it was blah. Had an 8:15 reservation for a table and didn't get seated until 9:15. Granted...it was a Thursday night...but the bar waiting area was PACKED and ridiculously loud. Fine if I feel like going out drinking on a Thursday but sort of annoying if just waiting around to get seated for a table. Also was person to person packed. Drinks were ridic expensive as well. Once we FINALLY got seated the food was just okay. The pot stickers were decent but nothing to write home about. The pad thai wasn't life changing and the chocolate eggrolls for dessert were a little TOO chocolaty for my tastes.. Overall not worth the wait. OK I guess if you want to go out drinking on a Thursday but be prepared to pay. Or...if you're a tourist and really feel the need to take a picture with the huge Buddha on display in the dining room.
by Von Bulland on This was the best Saturday afternoon I have had in a really long time. Maybe ever but I don't want to say that and then think of other great Saturdays and have to take it back. The best part about the day was certainly the friends I went to meet and also the friends I ran into who I haven't seen in a while. I spent the entire day drinking sangria, eating delicious food and socializing big time. All of this wonderfulness was done on a boat, in the Hudson, in the sun with the perfect breeze and views. Just, wow. Go here. Okay so the drinks are a bit pricey but not really pricey. I have always been against day-drinking for personal reasons but I am willing to bend that rule to go back to the Frying Pan. Woohoo!!!
