Before you book
Coming from Element Times Sq West
If your legs are done after a day in Midtown, don't walk it. About 19 min each way is about 38 min on foot for one dinner.
Seeing a show at The Nederlander? It's about 5 min from your hotel but about 21 min from us, so leave time to get there after dinner.
Know what you're walking into: a live DJ every night we're open, and it's loud. A quiet dinner this isn't. We're closed on Mondays.
