Just ate dinner there this past Sat (4/21/07) and was very disappointed with the service. It was my second time there but I can honestly say... never again!!! To sum up my experience at Tartine in a nut-shell it was: 1) a long wait 2) a grossly small restaurant with people bumping into your chair every time they pass 3) a rude and poorly trained staff with major attitude 4) a bus boy that thinks its ok to sweep and stack tables right beside you while you're still eating... and 5) a rushed meal where they can seat the next table as quickly as possible. The fact that the staff get away with being so poor in customer service and common courtesy is mind-boggling and they are not afraid to let you know that they truly don't care either way, just pay them in cash (no credit cards). If you want your dining experience to include any of the above factors, then Tartine is your restaurant. However, if you want good food with a pleasant wait staff then try the million other restaurants in New York.
