It has been a while since I have eaten at a restaurant in the East Village. The food was good but just little things. We wanted to order a bottle of chianti which was on the wine list but was told the chianti was not available at the restaurant only at their sister restaurant in Soho. Not a huge deal but odd. The other thing that was odd ice was added to the guys' cognac (after dinner drink). Never have I seen ice in cognac before. You would think a bartender would know this. We asked for extra bread to sop up the sauce in our appetizers. 4 small pieces of toasted bread was $4 - didn't mention to us there was an extra charge. I understand prices have gone up and the restaurants need to recoup to make ends meet but $4 was a big excessive for 4 small pieces of bread. I would not go back but there are other restaurants in the area I would try first.

Great food but not so great service. Hummus, lamb chops, tagline, and salmon were all top notch. The “mom’s schnitzel (yes schnitzel) was good but under seasoned. We were able to reserve a table for 7 on the Saturday just hours before we showed up! We arrived early and our table was ready and the atmosphere was warm and friendly. We ordered drinks that came quickly but our hummus order took 50 minutes to arrive. No real concern from staff when we asked about its status twice.The main entrees also took an extremely long time and came out at different times so some in our group had nearly finished before others had received theirs. That’s a bit awkward as those with amazing hot food feel bad for those with nothing yet. Also they forgot one entree all together. The staff did finally show concern for their poor service once we pointed it out. The forgotten dish finally showed up and was complementary. I think this place works if you are low key and not in a rush but with better service and timing it could have been great.

I’m not one to leave reviews, especially poor ones, but can’t let this one go. Ordered appetizers, which were very good. Before the entrees arrived, a mouse was running around the dining room not more than a few feet from our table. The waitstaff was apologetic and I didn’t object to paying for the food we ate, but a mouse in a restaurant is a real problem.

Went to this restaurant with the entire family after seeing a show. The food was wonderful but the heat in the restaurant wasn’t working. We were the first ones there when the restaurant opened so we just figured the heat had just been turned on. No one told us it wasn’t working. We overheard another customer asking about the heat and someone telling them they were having issues. They had small space heaters but it was still freezing and honestly ruined the dining experience. They should call people that have reservations and let them know about the issue or at the minimum they should tell customers when they walk in.

The food was excellent but the service was not great. It was not the waiters fault, I think he was the only waiter working so he had all the tables but he never checked on us and then we had to go get him to place the order and then again to get the check when we were done dining.
