The bartenders were attentive and even made a newly invented drink. ”

guess that's why some people go, but I was just trying to find a nice place to eat with a friend (that wasn't a hot bar/deli). ”

spotted him at the bar, having a nice glass of wine with the chef and enjoying his dinner. ”

Must admit--food looked great. ”

So i'm just sitting there with this dish that wasn't at all good and no appetite and I keep seeing this General Manager talking to the Star Chef kackling and making faces at each other and I felt as if they were talking about me. ”
- “
Oh, how I love the food of NYC and despise all the attitude that comes with it! ”
- “
The kitchen and staff have a long way to go in providing an enjoyable environment and cuisine to match. ”
- “
The food is more bad than good, and if you're going to have an open kitchen, the chef needs to at least pretend not to be miserable and crabby back there. ”

Not crouton, or fried onion, or crispy bacon crunchy, but gritty soil or sand crunchy. ”

The chicken has a pancetta crust which is yummy but can be a bit salty. ”

The rabbit rolled inside pancetta served with a bean-wild mushroom side was dry, almost cold and uninspired. ”

The service was so AMAZINGLY BAD that we still laugh about it. ”

When I asked if I could leave the sausage off of my "pizzetta" I was told by the waiter who had a terrible snobbish attitude that the chef probably wouldnt do it because "she is a famous chef. ”

Now this is a well cared place,starting from the happy faces from the open kitchen to the hostess and the funny french asian bartender, we loved it. ”
