Bad attitude!

The atmosphere was very nice and the food was eloquently good. The service was horrific to say the least! After a $300.00 later, the evening would have been perfect but the bad attitude of the waiter really made for terrible experience. His name was Christopher. If you choose to go to this restaurant and you get him as a waiter, I would strongly suggest you leave. He should be fired!!! We'll never go back!

Not being from NY we stumbled across this place on thursday in search of a good glass of wine. The doorman in front of Setai building recommended Ai Fiori a new restaurant in the neighborhood. The hostess and bartender greeted us and welcomed us in right away even though we were a little undressed. We like the ambience so much and the good wine we made a dinner reservation for sunday night to celebrate her birthday. The dinner started with a good glass of champagne and blue crab appetizer, followed by a surprise sampling of cauliflower soup from the chef. The bread choices were good but the sourdough was a little messy and hard to cut. The salad with pepper dressing was devine. My friend ordered the lobster that had some sort of creme sauce. I ordered the lamb which was served on greens with a sausage stuffing. We ended the evening with desserts and complimentary candies. Overall service was very good and the food was excellent. I can't wait to get back to NY and try this place again.
