My friends love this place, so I brought my parents while they were visiting the city. I'm extremely disappointed with the treatment we received. Came in around 5, plenty of empty tables. The hostess (who I believe is a co-owner) told us they were reserved, but I knew they don't accept reservations. When I told her that, she rolled her eyes and gave us a table. The only way I can explain that behavior is that she didn't think our group fit her aesthetic and were trying to screen us out. (We are a mixed-race family, but the last time that got us screened out of a restaurant was 15 years ago, so I'm hoping that has nothing to do with it.)
The same woman was our server, and she continued to treat us with contempt during our entire stay. She never smiled, ignored us when we tried to get her attention and wore the most dramatically obvious expression of distaste I've ever seen on a restaurant worker every time she had to approach our table.
I would give one star for this service, but I added one for the quality of the food - it's all perfectly serviceable gastropub cliches. Nothing terrible, nothing original, and absolutely nothing about that merits such delusional pretension.
