    Enjoy the Long Meadow Ranch, EJ CHURCH Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve. Delicious, and only 150cs made! The best!

    Overpriced and a bit silly. That said, they make a mean old fashioned and the space is warm and cozy.

    The food was delicious, but could never make up for the aweful service. Never returning.

    Quite possibly has the worst service in all of Greenwich village restaurants. Upon seating it wasn't less than 20 minutes before our drink order was taken, another 25 to take our order.

    For brunch, the "3" scrambled eggs looked more like one egg. Also, 10-15 minutes for a cup of coffee was a tad long to wait. Fab space, though.

    Don't expect to be seated within an hour of your scheduled reservation, avoid making timely plans afterward.

    If you get this tip before you sit down -- do yourself (your wallet and your taste buds) a favor and leave. The food is sub-par and expensive, the ambiance is extremely loud.
