Comments:
Overall, great food but a little bit over priced.


Once you step out of the elevator on the sixth floor in the building on Russell Street opposite Times Square, you im-mediately become entranced with the soothing green back-drop. As long as you make a reservation, there shouldn’t be any trouble grabbing a table. But in general there isn’t much of a wait.

The tables are placed quite close to each other, but the restaurant resonates a clean, well-lighted ambience, with
cool crisp green colors plastered on the walls, complet-ed with wooden chairs to ring in the tranquil theme of nature.

This is also a barbeque place, so the metal stove was placed in the center, which is great for dinner with bigger groups and families. Great dishes for cooking include the chicken, marinated beef and beef tongue. An interesting way to enhance these cookeddelicacies are to wrap them in a layer of raw lettuce. The restaurant serves high quality, crisp and organic lettuce. The lettuce helps to cool down the meat a little bit, and the two combined is delightful.

This restaurant is quite authentic, and definitely worth trying. The location is accessible, the service is efficient, the atmosphere is cozy and inviting.
