| - Came here today for brunch with my boyfriend - it was a first time for both of us.
First off, I didn't find it terribly clean or inviting. There was a long line for take-away service, but not too many people waiting to be seated.
The woman who seated us was very pleasant and communicative, but service was pretty underwhelming. The food was fine, I ordered the Le Traditionnel and it was OK, nothing great, nothing terrible. Basic bagel with cream cheese, smoked salmon, capers, and red onion. My boyfriend ordered the Meuh Meuh and it was pretty good. A very substantial amount of well-seasoned roast beef.
I'm a New York transplant, so I'm probably biased, but this place does not impress or excite me. It all fell very flat for me - for such "famous" bagels, I expected a little more fanfare, but was met with a sort of wishy washy experience in a dingy spot.
