I think the food here is really great!! Very NY feel to this place! I love the diner fries and their soups are really good! I do think it's pricey for diner food but I am willing to spend it when in the mood for the atmosphere and food.
Only 2 complaints...going to the bathroom is disgusting..you have to walk through the kitchen which somehow feels wrong, lol and the stairs going to the dungeon are hideous!! I think they are making enough money to do a minor renovation and make the restroom experience nice.
My only 2nd complaint is the staff!! They are the worst!!!!!!! The waitresses and waiters have the snobbiest 'I can't be bothered' attitudes...as if the constant rush of customers has gone to their heads. I never don't tip but one day I left without tipping a woman there who had the nerve to comment that we were eating too much food!!! Hysterical! And the guy waiter..well, he's hit or miss..some days almost cheerful and funny but on most completely distracted and uninterested. So the the only reason I go is for the ny atmosphere and the food is good but always end up feeling the person didn't deserve my very generous tip (I'm a big tipper). I wonder if the staff are the owners and if not, if the owners know how badly their staff behaves on most days.
Otherwise..awesome place!!
