I finally tried the food here.
I went to check them out at an event, open to being set straight after my first review.
The ambience has not changed - still cold and harsh, and not welcoming.
The food was extremely disappointing. Dippy eggs served without utensils, olives with no place to put the pits, flavorless fried cheese in a "breading" made of undercooked rice, watered down drinks, slow service at the bar... I just don't get it.
Maybe the new hipster thing is having a bad time and acting like no one else gets the irony.
