Won't come here for brunch again... if at all...

by anroz

We went there for brunch and left with a firm decision not to come back.

While the food was mostly as advertized, the coffee was mediocre. The ordered latter looked and tasted very much like a cappuccino, with cinnamon on top. The waitress was too busy checking her cell-phone and sending text messages. When we motioned to get her attention (to ask for more maple syrup), she brought us a check. Finally, when we paid, we noticed that there was an extra charge – not huge and easy to escape one's attention. So we asked the waitress… - she admitted the mistake, but didn’t insist too much on reconciling it. We walked out…

Other minor comments: unremarkable atmosphere; music on the loud side (on a nice Sunday morning).

Overall: it’s just not worth it.

• Cons: Poor service, mediocre coffee, loud music

Delish comfort food

by eater25

The atmosphere is laid-back and casual (not scene-y like some other places in the neighborhood) our waitress was super friendly and attentive. Definitely order the burger fondue! It is amazing. Also had the duck cuban and the pulled pork stuffing, both delicious and well-priced for the amount of food you get. Can't wait to go back and try some of the other amazing-sounding menu items.

• Pros: great food, friendly service, laid-back atmosphere, reasonable prices

Where have you been all these years!!!...love it

by Sophia7

Bravo!!!...I go out on the lower east side all the time and I hate going to dinner down there because there are so few restaurants...I have to say I walked by this place accidentally on my way home from a night out and a few friends and we were starved and realized people were eating so we stopped in. They later told me they serve till 4AM...can I say score!! We shared the burger fondue which were the best mini burgers I think I have ever eaten and the ceviche which had chunks of avocado and chopped jalepeno which I love. I also ordered the mac and cheese...which I probably shouldn't have bc I ate the whole bowl myself... One of my friends ordered the pork chop and we assumed it would be a small plate but it was the largest pork chop I had ever seen. He seemed to like it as he cleared the plate. I can't wait till they serve liquor as it seems it will be a fun place to chill....Thumbs Up!!

• Pros: Ambiance, Hip wait staff, good crowd, excellent food
• Cons: Crowded
