Service was so slow and wait staff were rude! Took 30 mins for coffee , 1hr 30 for food, 30 mins to run our cards at the end - had to ask for milk 4 times by which time my tea was cold. Overall very poor for NY!

Service was good, but, not great. However, the ambiance was wonderful. It appeared to have been a milkshake bar years ago and had been significantly updated. The bar stools had seats that spun around. The best part was the food. Not only were my scrambled eggs and bacon perfect but the portions were huge. Best breakfast I have had outside of Parc in Philadelphia

When asked for pancakes with seasonal fruit we didn't know the fruit would be inside the pancakes itself. I'd rather have it on the side. Coffee was served but for a while no one brought a spoon for the sugar. Multiple waiters were serving us so it was confusing as well... But overall, place and ambience was 10/10,would go again and try something else from the menu.

We went for brunch this past Saturday and had a generally okay time. The music, however, was blasting early 2000s hits throughout the meal and the food itself wasn’t terribly interesting. Not bad, not great. Very thin coffee. All in all not somewhere I’d need to return when in the city.

I had high hopes for this restaurant. Walked in and it looked adorable and played nice music. Unfortunately, we had very poor service. The spinach & artichoke dip should have been called baked cheese because there was barely any spinach or artichoke in the dish. My friends veggie burger with Swiss came out with the Swiss cheese as hard as a rock, had to be re-made. My friend who wanted the roasted chicken was told they were out but could prepare some grilled chicken instead. The chicken came out on a bread/butter sized plate- no presentation whatsoever. Pretty disappointing experience.

Terrible service. You know you’re in for it when all the plants are dead. Appetizing! Afraid to order another beer as it may take another hour- even if you’re the only table there! New Yorkers have way better options.

Took about 15 minutes to get seated with reservation, than another 15 minutes to get water. By the time our entrees arrived we had been there over an hour. The food was good and ambience was nice but we definitely felt neglected in the service department.

The food is bad and overpriced. You're paying for the Instagram vibe. My grilled cheese was like cardboard and the tomato soup tasted like someone heated up some crushed tomatoes and sprinkled pepper in it. My friend's hashbrowns were cold on arrival and his storebought English muffin with jam cost $7.

Food took over an hour and they screwed up our order in more ways than I care to mention. Sent back my burger twice. They made the soup from scratch on the fly after they realized they never entered it. Waiter disappeared after it became apparent that she completely bungled the order and the poor food runner was left with all apologies. The manager appears oblivious to the details of what transpired. They took drinks, burger, and soup off the bill. I think they should have comped everything for the 4 of us it was such a frustrating experience

The previous reviews are accurate. It's a diner which attempts to play in the restaurant space. I had hoped it was a restaurant themed as a diner but I felt let down. I had my 4yr old with me and it took 30 minutes to get a waffle, some scrambled eggs and a salmon plate out of the kitchen. The food was cold by the time it arrived. I was not planning to return anyhow but I wouldn't recommend the restaurant to a friend. Kitchen is slow and service is okay.
