. . "0"^^ . "I am wavering on my stars for this one...somewhere between a 3 and a 4. I will definitely give them another try to see if they can hit the 4 stars.\n\nI went here for lunch with a friend. We sat at the little bar which was nice - the chairs were very tall and narrow which took some getting used to. The bar is a pretty high traffic area so there was always movement around us. You do get used to it though.\n\nPros:\n\n* Great location, easy to get to\n* Nice d\u00E9cor. I love the style and the little details they have like the collector spoons they serve with coffee. Very old school\n* Menu is pretty extensive for such a teeny place with great descriptions\n* The food looked great and was plated with care\n* Service was pretty quick and very polite\n\n\nCons\n\n* I had a coffee after lunch...it was kind of watery and wasn't as great as I expected it would be\n* Noise: Wow was it loud in there. Like 8th Ave mid-day seemed quiet when we stepped outside after. I am glad we sat at the bar or else conversation would have been impossible.\n* Crowded: I get maximizing tables in there but you can hardly move without being in someone's space. Like really in their space.\n* The bartender/our server seemed stressed. He was very polite but seemed worried. The whole time.\n* The entrance area is crowded. You walk in and you are practically walking over people at the first table behind the curtain.\n\nIn between:\n\n* The food...my friend had the fish special. It looked great and she said it was delicious. I had the crab baguette. Initially I loved how fresh the crab tasted...there was something so bright to it. But it didn't seem to taste exciting all the way through. There was also to much baguette to filling ratio for my liking\n* I felt like things were a little over priced...some, not all, for what you were getting. I don't mind paying for a great meal...this was okay. I also don't mind paying for ambiance or the experience...but again I thought it was just \"okay\".\n\nHopefully I will have the occasion to go back, and maybe try them for breakfast or dinner. I do appreciate maybe I chose the wrong menu item and that they might be more than \"okay\" with other meals/dishes."^^ . "2013-04-12T00:00:00"^^ . "3"^^ . "1"^^ . . "1"^^ .
