Cozy, laid back, atmosphere in the dining room yet still buzzing and lively. Friendly, efficient service. Not a surly staff-member anywhere; none of the cloying, ingratiating types either. Food was simply prepared. Fresh, with an authentic, homemade and traditional ring. Enough of a variation on the themes to avoid cliche territory and provide a fresh interpretation. Offering is geared towards comforting familiarity and for the unpretentious diner - as I like it. A high recommendation, particularly when you factor in ease of access by subway or car (lots of Green P parking nearby).
