I was so excited to try this place. I thought it was going to be a really cool local place that we would want to frequent often. However, I don't think we will ever return.
The cons: Well I don't like that I had to walk a good ways from West 25th. If you are out and about, the last thing you would want to do is walk a good ways to get something to eat or another drink.
Another con, the service. We sat at the bar and the two bartenders were too busy socializing with people that seemed to be regulars at this place. While that is all great and dandy, I think they should take care of all of their customers not just the regulars. We didn't feel like we needed to hear their personal stories and we felt a little neglected.
The last con, the price and portion. I hate hate hate to complain about this since it is a local restaurants. I am a huge advocate of local restaurants, however I felt that it was way overpriced for what we got. We ordered two glasses of red wine, nothing spectacular and two appetizers. The two appetizers were a cheese board and the porks belly. The cheeseboard was the saddest cheeseboard I've ever seen. There was one quarter size amount of honey, 3-4 different cheeses which were not very large in size and a few other fixings. The porks belly was probably the best thing we ordered. Our bill was about 50$ for two glasses of wine, a sad sad cheeseboard and some pork belly. All in all, we left broke and hungry.
The pros, the fact that it's a local restaurant. And we liked the decor inside.
I wish I would have liked this place more, but just not up to par I guess.
