I really wanted to like this place..... my bf and i had planned a last minute staycation in the city and we couldn't get a reservation anywhere else.
The menu looked decent some vegetarian options and an array of appetizers so... one star i guess. When we got there they took us to a table upstairs and i thought that the decor was a bit outdated.I also noticed that the carpet was old and dirty..food particles everywhere (this wouldnt have been a problem if they didnt claim to offer a "sophisticated" experience).
Our server came over and handed us a menu and then rushed off... WE waited well over 15 minutes before she came over to get our drink order. I ordered a glass of prosecco and she looked at me and looked back at the menu and asked me to show her what i wanted (are you FN kidding me?)...maybe she wasnt familiar with their drink menu?? We also ordered an appetizer (the seitan wings) .
Our server dropped by a few minutes later and we ordered our entrees. I ordered the Falafel artichoke pilaf and my bf ordered the cassoulet.
20 minutes or more later and our appetizers still hadn't made an appearance. But alas our entrees did. I would have reminded the server but she went MIA again. When she finally showed up we asked her about the seitan wings...she had forgotten to grab them from the kitchen. So obviously they were cold when we eventually got them
My pilaf was warmish...maybe cold..not how i like my food. It was also very blah i cant find anything to say about the spices or the ingredients ...definitely not a $17 entree. My bf really didnt like the cassoulet either it was bland and missing that special something..it didnt live up to the $24 price tag.
So bottom line.... I feel like this used to be an amazing restaurant at some point but i think it has now lost its umph ...If you are foodie dont bother going here you will be majorly disappointed. The menu sounds better than the food tastes.....the food doesnt live up to the prices and the service is lacking in very many ways. There is nothing unique about the experience, ingredients or the flavours.... We spent atleast $70 and i have to say it has been once of the most disappointing experiences i have had....in a while. So if you are able to get a reservation anywhere else don't bother with six penn.
You have been warned!
