    I enjoyed it. Laid-back and fun. The player did a dynamite rendition of Elton John's "Love Lies Bleeding". My only gripe was mandatory (paid) coat check, but I do see their point about not wanting a couple hundred coats lying about. Oh well ....

    Terrible place--very tourist-trap-y. Went because I heard it was a "hip" version of a piano bar but nothing could be further from the truth--un-fun, assembly line place--forced and plastic. Trying to be hip and exclusive, rather than congenial, but so not either--just depressing. "Bridge and tunnel/middle america" crowd and unfriendly, unsmiling, ape-like staff. DO NOT GO!!

    Tell Ann Marie the place is great. Heck tell 'em all it beats sitting in a stuffy, 95th floor bar sucking tiny, way-over-priced, fru-fru, she-she drinks. Good music, fun gathering, great watering-hole.

    This place is terrible. If you like beefy guys and tourists who clearly don't have any friends to tell them to avoid this place, then come on down! We went and there's a mandatory coat check. Then this stout weathered witch kicked us out when we hadn't done anything. We left gladly. There are much better piano bars to go to.

    We arrived about 11 p.m.on New Year's Eve. Yes, there was a wait - about 30 minutes. No, it wasn't terrible - we could hear the piano from where we stood and the guys at the door were polite and fair. They didn't play favorites - no one jumped the line or bought their way in. Once inside, we found the staff very polite and friendly. Someone found hats & champagne glasses for us and made sure we had champagne at midnight. The music was terrific, the crowd fun and decently behaved. The piano player did a range of music mainly from the 60s, 70s and 80s. Lots of sing-alongs. It was challenging to get a drink but the bartenders were friendly and generous with the liquor. We definitely will go back!

    I really enjoyed this bar...very casual, very upscale and relaxing. The drinks are a little pricey, but I felt it was worth it for the environment! Great date place!
