| - I thoroughly enjoyed the food here, as did each of my dining companions. We arrived during a snowstorm on a slow morning, so clearly the wait-time and crowded themes of some of the other reviewers are a moot point from our perspective. The place was pretty empty.
All of our dishes were delicious. I had the chorizo with poached egg and it was fantastic. My date had the steak tartare, and while that's not exactly my cup of tea (ironically, he also had tea), he loved it and spoke highly of the dish.
The coffee was delicious, but, at the risk of sounding like the opening monologue of Reservoir Dogs, when I order coffee I expect the cup to be kept full. We were there over an hour, and that initial cup I ordered at 10:00am wasn't offered a refill until 11:10am, as we were putting on our jackets to leave, and after waiting from 10:10am, when I emptied the cup, for an hour, I no longer wanted more coffee.
That's not okay when it's super-busy, but when the place is empty, that's just inattentiveness. I would have lost two stars instead of just one, except that the setting was lovely and the food was so delicious, that three stars seems a bit harsh for friendly but really less-than-attentive servers.
