We are in the top five restaurants in New York. Daniel is about luxury. It's a luxury where when somebody has never come they maybe expect to be intimidated, but once they have the experience I think they feel this is a welcoming, fun and great experience to have. The menu, the price point, the level of service, and class we offer to people. . . I think it's incredible. Not every restaurant can be like that - it's a commitment, in terms of dedication to excellence.
