Good Food but SERVICE???

by WingMich

I thought this place was ok but partially due to the fact that we only got one piece of bread and that the food wasn't as good as I would have liked. The environment was nice. The wait staff didn't come to our table often, and when wait staff did it took so long to bring our order/fulfill our request. I'll keep this short and simple. The grilled ssparagus was definitely a recommend. While the food tastes good the service definitely took out from the overall rating.

Total 3.5 stars (I still think we should have the option of rating with half stars)

• Pros: Food,ambiance
• Cons: service

Sleepy and deserted

by seminario

Empty it is on most nights, and for good reason. This place is overpriced and the wines are limited and uninspired. The servers are bored to tears and don't want to be working there. It is also a little pretentious. You have to earn your meal it seems by squinting to read the menu on the blackboard (full of spelling mistakes by the way) and constantly try to get someone's attention when you would like to order something else. There are so many other great spots in the East Village. Don't waste your time on this one.

• Pros: non
• Cons: plenty

great comfort food

by lola1074

we've visited the restaurant a few times and have enjoyed each experience. the service is attentive, even when it gets busy. i love the design of the communal table that's in the center of the space. the food is also delicious. my friend especially loves the chicken dish and the garlicky white bean dip. the skirt steak is tender and the chimichurri sauce is especially flavorful. the fries are also well-seasoned and crunchy. we've recommended the place to friends who have also enjoyed themselves and will definitely be going back soon!

• Pros: atmosphere, food
• Cons: parking
