The Scene
Regulars revel in the hodgepodge feel of this neighborhood restaurant, where the decor and the cuisine are wildly eccentric. The bar room is almost tavern-like, while the rear multi-level tea room is more bohemian in its ambience. Service is well-meaning, but innattentive at times due to understaffing.
The Food
There's a Mediterranean bent to the menu--hummus, babaganoush and stuffed grape leaves are offered, as well as Moroccan chicken and spicy Merguez lamb sausage. Several of the side dishes -- especially the sauteed apples alongside the sausage, and the crispy coconut rice cake partnered with the pepper-crusted tuna -- outshine their main course counterparts, Though fresh and nicely prepared, most dishes could use a lighter hand with the salt shaker. And considering the restaurant's high tea program, desserts are surprisingly disappointing, especially the tough crusted nut tart and gluey tiramisu.

I thought this place had a cool atmosphere (loud, but not annoying), really funky, and good food! The service was horrendous, but I guess you gotta get used to that in New York. They make absolutely no changes to the menu items, and they will judge you for asking- or at least my waiter will. It's good food and cheap though!

I love this place so much. I went on my first date with my b/f here and it was perfect - sangria was GREAT, food was so good. Waitresses are very friendly, attentive. We just went again last week for the first time in 10 months and nothing has changed--sangria was so so good and the food was amazing. Plus, the prices are cheap and it's a great place to people watch (if you sit outside). If you go, try the hummus...it is by far the best hummus I've ever had:) I'm going again this Saturday. (And I live in NJ and travel to come to this place..that's gotta say something)

I have been coming to this restaurant for years. Mainly because of convenience (I live in the neighborhood). I have to acknowledge how clueless the waitstaff seems to be at times. I have seen my plate of food sit on the counter for quite a while, as the waitstaff chatted eachother up. Also, the food preparation is inconsistent. For example, sometimes a sandwich will come on a baguette, and sometimes on a roll. Sometimes bread will be served when you sit down, and sometimes it won't. Overall, there aren't enough issues to outweigh the tastiness of the food, or the convenience of the location for me. Also, the prices are decent compared to some of it's neighboring restaurants. If you're not uptight, not in a hurry, and enjoy French/Mediterranean-inspired cuisine and trendy atmospheres, I highly recommend this place. Hey, the waitstaff is even entertaining at times. I had a German waiter who played Lotte Lenya and regaled us with stories of post-war europe. Only in New york!
