The restaurant is divided into two main rooms; Maze, the more casual room with a large active bar and the more tranquil and upscale Gordon Ramsay dining room. In addition to those rooms, there is the Chef's Table, this I did not even know about. This is located in the kitchen with a raised spectator view of everything going on. It can seat up to eight and have sat as few as two. The views offered and access to the kitchen staff makes this table a truly special experience in New York City. The staff was extremely accommodating even inviting us on the line to prepare and plate a dish.
The food is described as New French and everything served was phenomenal. The wine pairing with the food was perfectly complimentary and the service was attentive without being overbearing. I cannot overstate how great this experience was and it is something that will definitely be something to remember for anyone who gets to experience it. We even got a surprise visit special person...keep scrolling to the end!
