Partner and I went here on a Groupon that was gifted to us a while ago. Don't remember what either of us got but I remember leaving the place feeling crestfallen and too far uptown for my liking.
Our time here was marked indelibly by the fact that we were there on a Groupon - like they were discounting our experience of the place because we were getting a discount. Although I understand that the point of this service is to get people to come and discover your restaurant - I feel like it should be in a business's best interest to captivate their diners so that they wish to return at regular price. This place didn't seem to do that, like the whole Groupon thing was a way to drum up some temporary business in a winter lull when their patio is out of service. This is evidenced by the skimpy experience they provided us and, what I assume, to be other diners there on a voucher.
The place is massive - outfitted with a small dining room and a much bigger, cozier-looking space. The "grouponers" were seated in close quarters in the small dining room, near the drafty-ass door and given the same cookie-cutter experience. Even the desert was pre-made and sat in the freezer so that it was difficult to cut and stuck to the plate. The waiter was so casual as to short us on our change for the tip - I don't remember how much, probably a negligible amount, but it felt presumptuous.
My only advice to this business is to strive to maintain a level of excellence across all strata of patrons, it may foster enough goodwill for them to return. Having felt thoroughly second-class I will not return, discount or otherwise.
