Food Quality

Pros:

  • "Although it was pretty pricey and small, the food was tasty."
  • "Fantastic Lamb, super flavorable."
  • "Food was excellent. Ordered steak and eggs and both were cooked to perfection."
  • "The food was unbelievable. I highly recommend the duck and the brussels sprouts, but you can’t go wrong with anything on the menu!"

Cons:

  • "For the price, the entree portion sizes aren't big enough to be filling without first having an appetizer."
  • "The overall food portion is tiny and doesn't leave you filling full, especially the cod."
  • "Berry salad was all iceberg lettuce with we counted two strawberries and seven blue berries and one slice of cheese."
  • "The food choices were very limited and at least the dishes that we ordered didn't taste very well."
  • "Food was not good."
  • "Tune was super spicy and not good or fresh and rubbery."
  • "I was in with a group as we were doing dinner after a training Conference. There were 6 of us and we all had different dishes and they were all not good."

Service

Pros:

  • "Service was overall good and attentive."
  • "Our waiter Luis was absolutely amazing. Always there to help and very friendly."

Cons:

  • "Some servers were very nice but others had a bit of an attitude."
  • "The waiter did check in on us mid meal, however as lunch ended he was more difficult to track down."
  • "Drink prices were high and the drinks were very weak. The waitress was rude and in a big hurry to leave because her shift was over just about 10 mins after we had been there."
  • "Food was good and so was the atmosphere, but the staff was not attentive. Never received our first round of drinks during brunch so we just cancelled them."
  • "The service was below average."
  • "Service at the bar was really slow, especially since it wasn't busy (empty seats), and the drinks were mediocre."

Ambience

Pros:

  • "Nice atmosphere too!! A real gem in the commuter bar neighborhood."
  • "The atmosphere is relaxed and the decor is nice."
  • "Very nice Ambiance!"
  • "The environment was loud but it didn’t take away from the feel of the night; I’d def go back!"
  • "The main room is spacious, dark, and has a really cozy atmosphere."
  • "What a gem, set in a nondescript neighborhood."
  • "The environment is great and very dark and moody."

Cons:

  • "The only reason it gets four stars, is the bar crowd flows into the dining room, and they really do not try to keep the two separate."
  • "It was very loud, service was distracted, yet not extremely crowded."
  • "The music selection was worse than the service, though. Rap/R&B really clashes with the rest of the ambience."
  • "Not an ideal spot for a business dinner given the noise level."
  • "Cute spot in the back, but the front of the bar area is so annoying to get past."
  • "We walked into this bar on a whim. The ambiance was nice but the customer service was AWFUL!!"
  • "The seating area can get really noisy and loud."

Value

Pros:

  • "Really cannot complain about the food and the prices are really good considering the location and how tasty everything has been."
  • "The price was really great for the area of Manhattan."
  • "And the price is very reasonable!"
  • "Price very ok for New York."
  • "Very well priced place, good service and food."
  • "This place is a favorite of mine."
  • "Great Atmosphere, Fantastic Staff and Wonderful food!"

Cons:

  • "Price ratio for a gastro-pub in the garment district is low and we wouldn't rush back here anytime soon."
  • "Prices aren't amazing and the portions were tiny, but the food tasted great."
  • "Expensive and the food is okay quality (flatbread should be maybe 10 or 12 dollars- not 17)."
  • "Only sticking point would be stingy pours. For $10-12 I expected more than a splash of top shelf."
  • "The food is a little pricey for gastro-pub food but it's quite good and very filling, depending on what you order."
  • "Higher priced good than other areas, so it's not a common spot to hit for food, but for booze."
  • "The place is beautiful. Excellent decoration. Host was very nice and also waiters. The food came out really quick and it was tasty but the sizes are so small that I am not sure if the price is worth it."
