"OH NO!" Terrible Service

by aimeepav

I came looking for a good sushi lunch and a unique atmosphere, and was apalled at the most terrible service I've ever had, in any city, anywhere. At first we (a group of four) were greeted by a very rude hostess who looked as if she was suffering a severe hangover. The waiter seemed pleasant until, upon ordering, he threatened that if we did not order a large amount of (overpriced) food as a group, that it was likely we would not receive our food at the same time and that one of us could be finished with our meal before another was even served, because there were 500 people upstairs for brunch. Really?! The entire Gansevoort doesn't even hold that many guests! I was completely embarassed by bringing my out-of-town guests here. What a sham. If you are in the area and want sushi without the 'tude, go grab some takeout at The Lobster Place in Chelsea Market...

• Pros: decor
• Cons: service

great food

by speakyourmind

well worth a visit, food very good, bar small, rely on waitress service on the terrace far easier. better japanese restuarants but very convient for west village

• Pros: rock shrimp tempura to go

Trendy and chic

I've been here once for drinks only. I had a nice time - there was music and it was a pretty relaxed atmopshere. Drinks were expensive, but that is expected in a place like that. I can't think of anything negative to say.
