    Way too crowded with the wrong kinda people. They have multiple security guards acting like its a club telling you where you can and cannot stand. Better places in the neighborhood, I won't be back.

    Go here late night if you want to be surrounded by sloppy drunks sucking face in your personal space. Literally, I can see 5 couples making out right meow.

    There is really nothing that recommends this place. Rude servers. Indifferent managers, mediocre food. Decent beer selection, but this is NYC. You can easily do better.

    The food was terrible. Eggs Benedict were overcooked and with barely any hollandaise. Too expensive.

    Took my mother here and she found a piece of a latex glove in her food... After she already chewed it..
