I just tried to call to make reservations and was told that the restuarant is not longer there. Does anyone have any information about this? more

After having read the fabulous Zagat review this place received, I couldn't help but give it a try. Judging by the facade I didn't think it would be all that, but as soon as we walked through the corridor to it's main dining room ... my God! We couldn't believe what a hidden gem this palace-looking place is... ideal to impress your date, even pop the question! Not to mention the delicious Fettuccini and Tiramisu. Royal space, royal food, royal treatment. Pros: Ambiance, food, service Cons: parking, outdated men's room more

I work around the corner from this restaurant, but had never been there. When it reopened under new management I heard they were going to have an old-fashioned lounge in the front, with live piano music. There are very few places left in the city where you can hear ""real"" music anymore -- Gershwin, Porter, jazz standards and classic rock -- songs everyone knows the words to. Table XII has Michael Garin, who was the piano guy at the Monkey Bar for over a decade, and the atmosphere is fantastic and fun. The lounge, separate from the main restaurant in the front of the building, is intimate and cozy, and Michael plays and sings with little to no amplification, so you can have a conversation and you won't leave deaf! The bartenders are friendly, the food is wonderful -- you'll feel like it's 1956. Order a bottle of champagne. Pros: Live Music, Intimate, Luxurious Setting Cons: Closes early (12:00) more

I was invited to Table XII for a private party. I loved the food so much I went back with some colleagues and they were equally impressed. The service is impeccable. I was treated like royalty and as I looked around that is the norm. The food was incredible and it is just such a comfortable place for social and client dining. I love that it is in midtown and that it is in my city. It's amazing!!!! The private dinner I was there for was exceptional as well. Treat yourself and GO! Pros: excellent service, great food, convenient Cons: there is only one loc more

One of the last places I would ever dream of hearing about a wonderful new restaurant would be the doctor's office. You can probably imagine how taken aback I was when I walked in for my routine check- up last tuesday morning and heard some of the staff still talking about the new wonderful place they ate at friday night. Being a true New Yorker, I find that frequenting the same spots bores me, so I perked up my ears and jumped at the opportunity to check out Table XII for myself. Four words- Ravioli ricci di mare. Excellent food, excellent atmosphere, just excellent! Pros: owner always around, accomodating staff, food presentation more

From coordination to execution, TABLE XII is top notch! We recently arranged a retirement lunch for twenty-five people and I'm still getting pats on the back for choosing it! The food is excellent, the restaurant is beautiful and the service is second to none. Do yourself a favor and arrange your next event at TABLE XII! Pros: AVAILABILITY OF SPACE, MENU CHOICES, STAFF IS EXCELLENT Cons: Bathroom is outdated more
