I reallyyyy wanted to like this place since I love what they did with the space. But, unfortunately, the food was so so underwhelming, I almost feel bad for saying it. Everything was painfully under-seasoned. The only things we didn't mind were the chicken wings and the bao. Even then, we had to load up on the sauces or soy sauce, which there wasn't enough of. The kung pao cauliflower was atrocious. It was a saucy, undercooked, tasteless mess. It was not kung pao style at all, flavour-wise. Tasted like a worse version of chinese mixed vegetables - I could've got a better version across the street at China Gourmet. The brussel sprouts and mushroom dish (not sure if I'm remembering correctly) was also undercooked and tasteless. Drinks were underwhelming as well, and I should've known because Montauk does not make good cocktails.
Server was nice, I guess. The manager seemed concerned about patrons experience which I appreciated. Lots of kinks to be worked out but it'd be a shame if they didn't make this place work somehow. Could have been a really nice addition to the area.
