⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I had an absolutely wonderful experience at this new Mediterranean gem in the neighborhood! From the moment we walked in, the ambiance was warm and inviting, with live entertainment that made the evening feel extra special — the perfect mix of upbeat and relaxing. Our waiter, Norberto, was fantastic! He was friendly, attentive, and made excellent recommendations. His service truly made the night feel personalized and seamless. The food was nothing short of amazing. Every dish was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The skirt steak was cooked perfectly and the risotto was seasoned nicely. You can tell a lot of care goes into both the ingredients and preparation. To end the experience we ordered the tiramisu in a cup! To die for. This place is definitely a new favorite — great food, great vibes, and top-notch service. Can’t wait to come back!

We had an incredible dining experience, made even more special thanks to our outstanding server, LIDA. She truly elevated our evening, celebrating a meaningful occasion with us in the most thoughtful way. LIDA checked in often and made us feel genuinely cared for throughout the night. Her recommendations were absolutely delicious and made our meal unforgettable.

I came here to celebrate my birthday, and it was such a wonderful experience from start to finish. The atmosphere was perfect for a special night out, and the food was absolutely delicious—but what really made the evening stand out was the service. Raul was our server, and he was exceptional. He was attentive, kind, and thoughtful throughout the entire meal. He made sure everything was just right and went above and beyond to make the night feel special. Thank you!

My time here was excellent, Gary and Tina were such a delight. As a former city islander I am extremely impressed with such ambiance and customer service. I come from the restaurant industry and I am so delighted to see a brand new restaurant for the area. Your team works very well together. The suggestions in regards to drinks made it easier to choose something delicious. I had the tiramisu martini...so pleasing. Me and my bf had lamb chops which was perfect. The strip steak was delicious. Being here made us feel as though we were away in Greece. Many people in this area need a place just like this to feel like they are away from home! Thank you for developing such a great concept for this community!

Awesome restaurant with an amazingly upscale vibe! The staff goes above and beyond to accommodate you and treat you with the best service. The food is great with all dishes being just the right amount of diverse. Definitely exactly what city island needed! If you haven’t been, 1000% worth checking out for a nice lunch with a view, a major milestone to celebrate or a casual upscale outing with friends or family.

Brand new restaurant on City Island in the Bronx, has a very upscale vibe to it, the staff was good, very attentive. Service was a little slow, but probably due to being a new restaurant. The first thing that was impressive was the menu is on a iPad, gives you nice pictures of each item on the menu. They will offer you bottled water, Still or Sparkling, we had the Still Water and it’s $9.36 a bottle. We had the Crab Cake as an appetizer it was okay but not worth $25. One entree was Berkshire Pork Chop, the menu on the iPad shows it with vegetables and potatoes, but was only served with roasted fingerling potatoes, which was excellent and so was the Pork Chop, other entree was Broiled Lobster, which was not on the menu, but I saw it with other fish when you walk into the restaurant area. It was to be served with Squid Ink Linguine, but I asked for a side of Sautéed Spinach instead. Weird thing, when the whole lobster was served, the Sautéed Spinach was on top of the lobster, when I took the spinach off of the lobster, there was very little lobster meat on the tail, the claws had MUCH more meat then the tail. The Lobster dinner was $75 for what I assumed was a 1.5oz lobster. Wife offered a Dirty Martini and it wasn’t that great, it was missing the olive brine $18. I had 3 Peroni Beers, $9.36 each. Glasses of wine that were had were $16.64 and $18.72 respectively. We also had a piece of Mango Passion Fruit Cheesecake which was great. Be aware of he service charge automatically added to the bill as well as the 8.875% sales tax. $310 for a dinner for two with a few cocktails.

It was my first time at this restaurant. My overall experience was great. The food was good, seasoned, hot and prepared very well. The service was absolutely wonderful. Our server Lida was so kind and friendly. She answered all our questions and gave excellent customer service. Additionally, the servers' uniforms were clean, simple and well put together. My group and I went on a Saturday night and they had some entertainment there like dancers, music and breaking of plates for those that wanted to participate. But my favorite part was the decor, layout and setup; is simplistic, modern, sleek and classy. The one challenge we had was the music was a bit too loud; it was challenging to listen and hear those at my table. I would recommend this for a nice date night, birthday or anniversary celebration, not ideal for a family/ children dine out. However, it was an amazing experience!

We had such an amazing experience at ATIK! From the moment we walked in, the ambiance, music, and decor set the tone for a great night out. The food was absolutely delicious — every dish was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. But the highlight of our visit was our server, Gabriella. She was so kind, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu. Her energy and professionalism truly elevated the whole experience. You can tell she genuinely cares about her guests having a great time. We’re already looking forward to coming back. Bronx needed a spot like this — chic, welcoming, and just overall 10/10. Highly recommend!

Yummy Dinner + a Show! Be prepared to feel transported to Greece at a really fun and fancy restaurant. I went here for the first time for father's day and it exceeded expectation. I knew I'd be going to a fun new water-side restaurant in City Island but I had no idea the performances I'd be in for. The interior design was fun and trendy and I loved the music which was mainly house music. Also, there was a splendid saxophone player that played and walked through the restaurant playing to the music and also his own renditions of famous songs. There were also different dances and performances like fire breathing while we had our dinner. They moved throughout the restaurant so everyone could get a front row view. It was amazing. Now let's get into the cocktails and the food. For my appetizer I had the giant homemade meatballs with ricotta, delishhhh. My dad had the greek salad and devoured it. For the entree, I had the prime NY strip and the potato purée (which is just mashed potatoe). My dad also had the prime NY strip but he opted to stay with the roasted brussel sprouts. I didn't exactly like the brussel sprouts but that's what comes with the steak, I would've preferred asparagus or brocolli perhaps. For the cocktails I couldn't decide so I just asked for the prettiest drink they had and I was recommended the fruity di bosco or moulin rouge. I ended up choosing the fruity di bosco which was pink and had 3 little raspberries on a stick for garnishing. It wasn't watered down at all and it wasn't on the sweet side, more of a true alcoholic cocktail in my opinion. I also tried the One Night in Mykonos cocktail. For the table we also got two bottles of water. The service was great! The waiters were attentive and even brought me a stand to the table to put my handbag on. For dessert, my dad got the pistachio ice cream and I got the mango passionfruit cheesecake. Just for the two of us the bill was exactly $300.23 with everything I mentioned, but with the music, dance and fire performances along with the food/ambience and service I would for sure go back. It's especially great for a special occasion, rather than an on the whim restaurant.

My Saturday afternoon outing with my friend Pat F. was really long overdue. Between life, errands, rescheduling several times and the usual hustle, it felt amazing to finally catch up over tasty food and cocktails- especially being right on the water in City Island. I hadn't realized that Atik now occupies the space where Portofino was until she mentioned it. Portofino held a special place for me when my husband and I used to come for nice dining and it truly stood out among the strip back in the day. But now....hellooooo Atik! What a transformation! Gone are the heavy burgundy drapes of the past. Atik has done a complete 180°. The space now feels bright and open from the moment you walk in. It has a fresh, modern vibe with light wood floors and then BOOM- you're greeted by a spacious main dining area with a mix of seating styles. A couple of rounded booths and a massive eye-catching bar. And just when I thought we'd seen it all, our hostess led us to the outdoor dining area and wow. Right on the water, it felt like we'd been transported somewhere along the Mediterranean coast, complete with loungey, SiriusXM Chill-esque music tying it all together real nice. Our server Christopher, was pleasant and accommodating- even when my friend and I kept asking him to give us "just another minute" as we caught up. The service was awesome throughout. We shared a Greek salad, a large and crispy fried calamari order and hummus+pita. That trio alone was plenty to graze on while we talked, sipped and soaked in the view. And speaking of sipping- I can't forget the cocktails. I had two spritzes: a classic Aperol and their signature Atik Spritz. Usually, spritzes are more club soda than Prosecco, but not here. These were bold and boozy in the best way. Not watered-down- just well-made drinks. At least mine were. I just hope all the other cocktails are powerful too! Based on Atik's overall rating, maybe they need to figure out how to serve a medium-rare steak that's actually medium-rare, or bring your drink before you're halfway through your meal- but let's chill. Atik just landed on the block. Funny how every time a new spot opens in our borough folks turn into food critics and hospitality experts overnight. Give them a second to find their groove before dragging them.

I gave it 3 stars because it's a beautiful restaurant and our waitress was sweet...too bad that's all it was, the food was mediocre at best! Came here for brunch today and so disappointed at the menu, there's not much of a selection for food in their brunch menu at all!!! The calamari was overcooked and salty AF; steak and eggs were ehhh, I've had better at a diner; the drinks were decent. TikTok gives it a huge hype but the food isn't the hype at all!

Atik is such a beautiful restaurant. The decor is stunning! Showcasing attention to detail with the intention to give you vacation vibes, it's gorgeous. It sets the tone for date night or a nice evening out with family/friends. It gives classy, and the outside patio is a plus, so it's unfortunate it was a miss for me because the potential for Atik to be a top spot in the Bronx is there. Service: My husband I arrived around 7PM, was seated promptly and our waiter took our orders fairly quickly -- good start. The wait time for our food was too long, however. About an hour and change and when the food arrived, it was wrong.The waiter and the manager quickly handled it, but it did leave us annoyed with the experience. Food: NY strip: 8/10 - steak was cooked perfectly and the sides with veggies and potatoes were really good. Lobster Ravioli: 4/10 - Too saucy for my liking with not a lot of lobster filling. Just okay. Drinks: I don't drink, but my husband tried their margarita, 7/10, you'll probably need 2-3. Overall, theres room for improvement at Atik. I will come back for their brunch to try it, but my expectations are low.

Absolutely loved everything about this place..!! We visited on a weekend, so they also had some great shows for us. Decor is beautiful, and both the indoor and outdoor seating is set up really well in a comfortable manber with enough space to move about. You get a great waterfront view with outdoor seating, and the place especially looks great in the evenings. We ordered a variety of cocktails, apps, Entrées, and dessert, and we didn't have a single thing to complain about. All the cocktails tasted yummy and were not watered down. Food was just great all around, be it presentation, quality, taste, or quantity. I personally loved their Risotto and the Clam dessert. Service was fast enough considering how packed they were. Daniel, who waited on us, was friendly, extremely helpful, and just had a great attitude, doing whatever was needed to make our visit hassle free. I would love to revisit, and definitely a solid place for Date Night, or celebrate with family or friends. Most of the negative reviews seem to be from when the restaurant had just opened, and it looks like they have worked out all the kinks. We didn't face any issues when we visited.

Beautiful restaurant but really dissatisfied with the food. Upon entry you can tell a lot of money and thought went into curating the aesthetic of the restaurant. Host was nice and service was pleasant all around. The place is also accessible to those with disabilities so A plus there. Unfortunately the food really fell flat throughout the brunch course. We ordered pretty basic uncomplicated dishes so if you can't get the basics right .. I ordered the steak egg & potatoes. Steak was requested medium it came out well done. We also ordered bacon eggs & potatoes. The bacon was burnt and hard. Portions are also on the smaller side I was still hungry when I left. The Limone dessert looked promising until it wasn't smh the outside was good very reminiscent to white chocolate but the inside just odd. I anticipated it to have a citrusy lemon ish taste nope just straight up acidic! Idk if it was spoiled but if that was the goal flavor it's not good. We also ordered a mango cheesecake to go please look at the photo smh the standard restaurant portion is 3.4/4 oz they gave us a slither of cake for $17. For that alone They should really be ashamed of themselves.. also just to note automatic 20% gratuity on the bill no matter the party size. Seems like they've invested a lot into looks and none into the actual dinning experience. I would hope dinner is better but I heard from a few mutuals who've dined at night that it's unfortunately the same experience. I was really hoping this was a new gem in the Bronx although very beautiful inside the experience would probably better enjoyed for cocktails and apps before or after an actual food date somewhere else. I'm so sad to write this review tbh I was hoping to enjoy this place.

First off baby! Let me tell you the place was amazing. Daniel our waiter was very attentive. We did not want or need anything. They made sure we were well taken care of. They have valet free of charge just make sure you tip for their hard work. Now let's talk about this place! The vibe is off the charts. The DJ, the shows, breaking the plates, and the food hunny was out of this world. We spent 5 hours here no time limit on the table and they do charge 20% gratuity. This place is gorgeous and well worth it. Reservations are hard to come by, so if you get in count yourself grateful for an unforgettable dining experience

Came here on 6-21 for my friend's birthday dinner, she had reservations for 7:45pm. We were seated at 8 pm when most of us arrived. Let's start with the positive , the restaraunt is beautiful. Ok , warning this will be lengthy. First red flag. There was a mishap as my friend was informed that she would have a pre-fixed menu , however the manger Ricky advised us that , the information provided over the phone was incorrect and informed us that the pre fix menu wasn't a set price which didn't make sense when my friend was provided a price over the phone . We didn't sweat it, we were just excited to try their food . Next , we ordered our drinks at 8:39pm the drinks came to us at 9:29pm. Yup, we got it an hour later. The first round of drinks were good . However , my second drink was halfway full, As I was informing the waiter he gave me another drink stating that he noticed my drink was not initially full and stated that the bar did not know what they were doing . I looked closely at the drink and realized it was not the same drink . I informed the waiter and he confirmed the new drink was not what I originally ordered , in fact the new drink consist of light and dark liquor . I don't mix liquors . I informed him of this and his responsive was taste the drink it's good. I told him I don't mix drinks and he took the drink, I never received the correct drink . We ordered appetizers and received it an hour and change later. Literally received it 9:45pm . I ordered the crab cake which was good. FYI we ordered the appetizers and food together . I ordered the lobster ravioli. Upon waiting for our food , a couple next to us left and complained to us how they waited hours for their food. Despite this,we gave the restaraunt grace for being new , as we were a party of 11. Approximately at 10:15pm we inquired about the food as we had two pregnant people at the table . The waiter could not give us a direct answer . We asked again to speak to the manager Ricky , however they sent another manager who said Ricky was busy and the manger that came was of no help. At 11pm still no food , now I have a headache , two ppl went to another manager and complained and advised them if the food was not on its way out we are requesting the check. The manager gave us 20 percent off the check . For 11 drinks and appetizers the bill was $450 after the discount. The waiter then brought us another bill with the tip like he wasn't forreal right ? I have no limit to what I would spend to eat as fine dining is my thing to do . I can't get with high bills and the establishment sucks. Let's not mention as we were leaving we saw Ricky. He looked at us and as someone tried to explain to him what happened , and his response was ok & brushed us off. Oh , he was also helping another party that was complaining about not receiving food . The birthday girl had to go to another restaraunt for food and some of us went to get food from seafood city . I would never return back or recommend them . This is my first time going out to eat and not receiving a entree Honoroble mentions! While waiting for our drinks and food , they kept bringing the wrong drinks and almost gave us someone else entree . The birthday girl also had reservations for a lounge and we missed those reservations... ATIK never again , the end....

Gorgeous venue, great service & good food. This new, upscale Mediterranean restaurant is different than everything else on City Island. The space is huge, feels like you're on vacation (20 mins from Queens). Parking lot was full and valet was closed, took awhile to find parking on a Friday night, 7:45 reservation. The menu is digital and has photos of everything which I love. The tiramisu martini and emerald martini were very good, lychee martini tasted like juice. For appetizer I had the Greek calamari which was very good, grilled perfectly. Entree- I went with the whole branzino, large portion, very fresh and tasty, came with a side of cauliflower mash which was a little bland. My cousin had the lobster ravioli which was good but a small portion (4 ravioli, no side). For dessert we had the match yuzu cake, didn't love it, topping had a weird texture and the ice cream was melted. Waitress was very nice and attentive. Drinks and app came out quickly but food took a while to come out. Live entertainment (dancers). Nice birthday presentation with sparklers. Overall a great spot and addition to the neighborhood, perfect for a bday or date night. 20% gratuity automatically included.

I went here for my birthday dinner after seeing some TikToks of the aesthetic and food. The vibe of the restaurant was great I loved the decor and shows. That being said the service was probably the worst I've experienced on city island. Even though our server was pleasant we waited very long for our food. To make matters worst my ice cream birthday cake was left out of the fridge causing it to melt. To compensate they gave us small "free desserts". We were so angry we took the dessert to go. Another complaint was that the toilets in the ladies room did not flush. Hopefully they can improve on their service in the future

It's really pretty inside. The only thing was the food didn't match the decor the breaking of the plates they're trying to make it like a Greece Resturant then they have these girls coming out in these ridiculous outfits. I felt like I was at a DR resort they model these outfits with giant flowers on them. I think they could do a lot better if they get a better DJ and promoter.

This is going to be a lengthy review, I do hope you make it to the end LOL. I will preface this by saying I travel to the Mediterranean often, spending much of my time abroad so I was especially excited to see this restaurant come to the Bronx. Additionally, I am born and raised in the Bronx and will always support new businesses. This review will be pros and cons based off MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE and is by no means to take shots at a new establishment, but when you are paying upwards of $400 for an evening here you should be allowed an honest review, also giving grace as they just opened about a month ago. PROS: The space is stunning it gave me vibes from what you would find in a restaurant in Greece, but for me that's where the "Mediterreanean" concept ended. However, if you are looking for a good photo moment you will find it here. The outdoor space is also set up beautifully, unfortunately the day I went the weather wasn't great and we had to change our reservation to indoors. They neighbor with Vistamar next door, from what I was told by staff the owner of Vistamar also owns ATIK. The staff was extremely attentive, checking on us often and refilling our glasses. We didn't feel rushed by any means. The menus were all digital on IPADS which I thought was really cute. THE MENU: Nothing about the menu screamed Mediterranean to me. Again, as someone who frequents the Mediterranean, I think there was room for improvement as far as the menu selection, adding pita and hummus as an appetizer just didn't do it for me. My friend ordered the chorizo mussels, and I had the fried calamari, no complaints there. It was all delicious, well prepared and well-seasoned. For mains I had the beef short rib with the truffle corn polenta and a side of spinach. My friend ordered the prime NY strip with brussel sprouts and a side of mashed potatoes. The beef short rib was tender and delicious; the truffle corn polenta was a no for me. The truffle was overwhelming with the texture of the polenta and did not mesh well with the sweetness of the corn. The spinach was incredible, and I could have eaten that alone. My friend's steak arrived cold with a cold piece of butter on top and we had to send it back to be reheated which they did with no problem. We ordered a bottle of Whispering Angel Rose which I initially believed was $55 and maybe I am mistaken, however when the bill came the bottle was $114 As someone who does bottle service often, I am no stranger to bottle prices, however this was not a magnum bottle it was the same $26 bottle that I purchase in the liquor store, I get the up sale I do and if it had not been for me questioning the price of what I saw on the menu overall I would not have mentioned at all. Again, I could be mistaken about the menu price. We skipped dessert as nothing was really appealing to us. THE EXPERIENCE: When we arrived, we were seated quickly for our 6:30pm reservation, initially we were cramped and were told we couldn't be seated elsewhere due to the number of reservations, although the table we asked to be moved to was unoccupied until we were signing our check. There was no room on either side for us to get into our seats and when I asked how we were expected to do so, the hostess said that is a good question, they ended up moving the coat/bag rack of the next table so we could sit. There was a show around 8:40Pm that was nothing spectacular and we were told that they also performed next door at Vistamar. The experience overall was standard nothing too terrible and nothing outstanding. When the bill came, I noticed a cash price and a credit price in which you can save money if you use cash, which I am pretty sure is not legal based on newly passed NYC/NYS legislation again I could be wrong absolutely check for yourself. An automatic 20% gratuity is also already included for you. I would give the restaurant another chance as I would love to try the outdoor setting as well as the Branzino. I just know to manage my expectations better around the "Mediterranean" aspect.

Went here for my first time to celebrate my wife's birthday with our friends who actually recommended this spot in city Island . Norberto was our waiter and for me he was excellent. Graceful , knowledgeable, patient, polite & easy going . He checked all the boxes for me as far as what I could want & expect from a waiter at a very extravagantly laid out restaurant . I think it's safe to say that there isn't a restaurant that compares to this restaurant on city Island in terms of the amount of work they obviously invested in the aesthetics of the place . In the word the place is gorgeous. . Well laid with all the bells and whistles of a fancy restaurant but without the feeling of stuffiness or or stiffness that some upscale restaurants find it hard to avoid .For me it was the staff and just the energy and who ever the owner or owners are of this establishment or I think it's safe to say it's not the first rodeo . I think they got all the difficult things of opening a restaurant right with so much competition around you . Strong drink menu , well balance drinks , well trained staff that seem to all work together really well . Not an overly complicated menu with enough variety to keep you coming back . They're about 15 minutes from my home so I will definitely will be returning and I strongly recommend you give these guys a try and come to your own conclusions . I know it might sound cheesy. but if you wanna take your new girlfriend somewhere to city Island and you wanna impress somebody take them to this restaurant , I think this is gonna be the new place to be in city Island for years to come if they continue to strive for excellence .

Went for dinner on 7/31/25. What a wonderful experience. Very classy and elegant atmosphere. We sat outside on the deck. The seating was so comfortable like sitting in your living room. The menu is on an i-pad and depicts the prices and exactly how your food is presented for you. What a feature to have for a restaurant. Lida was our waitress and was a true professional. I will definitely recommend this restaurant to friends and family. Free parking or valet available is always a plus. Heavily booked on weekends I would recommend making reservations for during the week or booking your reservations in advance.

This place is new, so I don't want to be mean so I won't. The venue itself is surprisingly nice. It has the type of refinement you'd find in a flipped house -- it's pretty good, but you can see where corners were cut. However, I'm not mad at that. The restaurant business is unforgiving, and this is the Bronx, luxury-light is fine with me. The food was decent, nothing bad, nothing sensational. The grilled octopus was well flavored and a little chewy just as I like it. The Parmesan fries were crispy but could have used a little more salt but that's an easy fix. The fried calamari was crisp and not greasy, it could've used some more salt but, again, that's an easy fix. The passion fruit cheesecake was pretty but not memorable. In short, the food was fine, made slightly better by the kind and attentive wait staff. My major complaint with this place is the small portion sizes and steep prices. One has to go, either drop the prices or give me more food. Also, their is a 20% "service charge" added to all bills. The service charge is actually a gratuity and it comes as a surprise at the end of the meal. I don't like that; it seems shady. They should make the gratuity known up front. Other than that, it's a decent place to at least try on City Island. I probably won't return but I'm not mad that I went.

If I can leave a 0 I would. Came here just for a couple drinks. Asked to sit at the bar but there was standing room only. Hostess suggested we sit outside in a "VIP" area where we would get table side service. No problem. Place was beautiful, so was the setting. However, waited about 20 minutes and not 1 server came to get our order. Hubby went to the bar to order and asked if he can get the drinks to bring out. A server said don't worry I'll bring the drinks to you. Waited another 15 minutes nothing. Meanwhile some chump ordering champagne at a table next to us had 3 servers jumping to his service when he demanded water in a wine glass and his champagne in a bucket. He was a total asshole to the server yet barely waited 5 minutes for someone to acknowledge him. We left. Idc if we were just there for a drink or 2. That is completely unacceptable service. It's cool though, places like this are a dime a dozen. See them closing in a year or 2.

Upon entering the restaurant, you are greeted not only by a very welcoming maitre d', but also a warm and welcoming space punctuated by marble tiles lit beautifully, plants and flowers and thoughtful decorating pieces. The bar was unique and beautifully lit. The aroma throughout the space was delightful without being overpowering. Our server, Valentina, was knowledgeable and attentive without being intrusive. We ordered appetizers only: the ratatouille with burrata (excellent), ceviche (also excellent) and the blue fin tuna tartare, which was a bit fishy and when we mentioned it to Valentina, she immediately came back with, according to the chef, a new and different cut of fish and it was amazing!! We ordered a red wine from Greece, which was perfect for our apps - light, yet with some depth. We had a few after dinner drinks which were delicious and artfully crafted. This is by no means a regular night out, it had Manhattan vibes, but is absolutely worth the price. Oh, and they had a show with dancers. It works well as a venue for a special occasion or dinner with friends. A very enjoyable experience and we will certainly be back.

The Food was absolutely amazing, the vibes, ambience and staff are all impeccable. Tina was our waitress, and the from the moment we sat down she was attentive, kind, and answered any questions we had. The drinks were all great and the music was the perfect for the vibe. Can't wait to return.

So our reservation was for 930 we were seated at 940 and our order taken at 945. After waiting for a while we asked our waiter for our drinks he's excuse was they were backed up. We then asked a manager who finally was able to get our drinks a house later. Mind you we are only a party of 2. We then received our appetizers of a crab cake and tuna tartare at 1045. The tartare was good and the crab cake ok. We then sat again until midnight till we received our main entrees of a snapper pan roasted and filet mignon which came out warm. By this time we were frustrated and asked for the bill from our waiter Raul. Even though we were celebrating a birthday we never asked for the $10 tiny three scoops of ice cream and the bland birthday signing. When the bill arrived the charged us for the ice cream and a seltzer water we never received plus a 20% service charge for the worse service ever. Even when it was time to get the bill we asked our original non attentive waiter but another waiter brought it out to us. It seem like in the area we were seated we were last priority and treated as such as I saw patrons outside receiving multiple drinks and their food in timely matters. The staff walk around looking like they're busy but the service is the worse I've seen. I would most likely not recommend or visit again.
