Leslie QDecember 4, 2013My latest experience was not-so-good—enough to make me question ever coming back here again.
michael liuAugust 20, 2012This place is definitely just selling the atmosphere. The food it's alright. A bit overpriced. But the service is good.
Mallorie RosenbluthSeptember 7, 2013This place misses with its efforts to be an upscale/ hip diner and comes off as trying too hard. Selection doesn't meet diner cravings, aren't particularly good, and are overpriced. Avoid delivery.
Julie TangJanuary 19, 2012Burgers are good but go w/fries option - the greens are literally just a few lettuce leaves
Tanaya CFebruary 11, 2013Bathroom are unheated. Not totally uncommon in Manhattan, but sharing. Agree with other reviews, service is lackluster.
Priscilla LugoJanuary 20, 2012Disgusting and over priced. Had a burger and it was so undercooked the patty was mush. Friend had a chicken Cesar salad and it had anchovies in it. Yuck!!!!
Ben MartinekNovember 26, 2012Rather underwhelming... Bad service, largely mediocre food, and their milkshake machine was broken. Three requests to get a drinks. Keep walking down the street...
Tony HaileFebruary 20, 2012Chef refused to do a lobster roll without mayo (after the waiter checked and said they could) because it wouldn't look right #fail
ChansonJuly 27, 2012The food is decent. Nothing special but not bad either. It is, however, waaaay overpriced.
waisum tFebruary 5, 2012Overpriced mediocre food. Skip the ramekin sized mussels. However, the charcuterie plate was decent.
