I've been to this place a bunch of times and had consistently good food. They serve my favorite mojito and and mac and cheese in the city. This is why my partner made reservations here for our anniversary today. We walked in and the place was packed and smelled really strongly of gas. It took almost 5 minutes to get anyone's attention and that person seemed annoyed that we were even there. We told him that we had a reservation and waited while he figured it out. He then grabbed a bar chair from the bar, put it with another bar chair infront of the kitchen bar and told us that this was the "Chef's Table". He saw on my face that I was not very impressed with this but I didn't want my partner to think that I wasn't enjoying the date so I sat down. The smell of gas was even stronger. We decided to leave. While we were walking out, I told the guy who had seated us that it was our anniversary and we had wanted something special. He shrugged. I am really disappointed . I have recommended this place to countless people and after this experience I will not be back.
