Save yourself, it's a train wreck.
fyi - Restaurant apparently named after this horse.
Located in Midtown, you'd think things would be done somewhat proper. Not the case.
Starting with the Hostess. She's in jeans and doesn't ask for our coats till we are being seated and hanging them on our chairs. She then proceeds to give us a look even though she forgot to ask in the beginning.
Two. The waiter had some hygene issue and really grossed my guest and I out.
Three. The puke green tones in the dining room really throws off one's concentration and not to mention, it's hard on the eyes. I really hope there's good reason to the selected colors. Like they were Ribot's racing colors or something. Because other than that, it's just really poor judgement.
And finally, Four. The food sucks.

Lunch Prix Fixe Menu
Appetizer : Seared Scallops with Mesculin garnish - Overcooked
Entree : Grilled Branzino on a bed of Orzo - No continuity nor contrast. And for god's sakes, call it Sea Bass... You aren't importing the fish from Italian waters so give the act a rest.
Dessert : Rum Baba - Disgusting
