The food came out after 15 minutes of waiting but they made a mistake. They gave us someone else’s food and someone had our food. The lobster roll done CT style ($17) and it was okay. It wasn’t particularly noteworthy and looked a bit smaller portion wise...

Located just steps away from the majestic Grand Central Station, it beckons with its cozy atmosphere, perfect for meetings with friends or warm family gatherings.
