friendly neighborhood dining

by URinluckadooo

I come here all the time and have quite a few favorites. I like to eat relatively healthy, but not deprive myself of yummy eats. I switch between the veggie burger, the pear salad and the mahi mahi. The Mahi Mahi is my favorite though. Oh and my husband is obsessed with the mac and cheese so i always steal a bite (or two or three) of his. The decor is darling with pictures of dogs covering every wall. I will say though, I am always a little surprised when the bill comes. I am of course used to NYC dinner prices, but everything is just $2 or $3 more than I think they should be.

• Pros: friendly managers, food
• Cons: a little pricier than I'd like

terrible place to eat

by carlyharris

the food was horrible. came out cold, came out old and late

the waitress was soooooooooo not attentive at all. we didnt get a bread basket so we asked for it after waiting for 20 min. we didnt get drinks and we didnt get the appetiz. we ordered.

on top of that we got the vegetarian food and along came the cold french fries with bacon in it. this is an ok mistake only we said we were veggie people and the bacon bits are not noticable till you actually eat it. the veggie burger is also cooked in the bacon grease. NOT COOL

• Pros: good location-friendly hostess
• Cons: everything

the worst experience I have ever met

by htse

I live on the upper west side and so I stumbled upon this "cute" bar on the corner of my neighborhood called fred's. I was with a friend, and right when we get there, the bartendar singled us out and refused to serve us because he did not recognize a non-US ID. (its called a green card btw) However, he did not try to ID any one else at the bar and then proceeded to yell across the bar / restaurant saying that we should go to any other bar.

I grew up in nyc and so obviously have been to several places but i have never experienced that type of rudeness experience in my entire life and i would never step foot in there ever again unless you want to be kicked out because you dont look "american:"

Cons: The rudest bartendar that I ever met
