While originally won over by the food, I will not return to Snack Taverna because of the rudeness of the manager/maitre d on two recent occasions.  On the first occasion, he kept us standing while the table was obviously ready, and only begrudgingly agreed to accomodate our unexpected 5th guest.  In the second instance, he directed his attitude toward friends to whom I had recommended the restaurant,  rudely dismissing their inquiry as to whether the restaurant served liquor.  They were so put off by his attitude that they got up and left.  	
	
With many more friendly choices with great food in the West Village, I won't be returning to Snack Taverna.
