After a couple of so-so experiences at Home, I decided to give it one more try as it's just around the corner from my business partner's place. We called the day before to book a table in the garden for 7 PM for a dinner with some clients. On arrival, the smart-alec person who 'greeted' (sic) us said they had the reservation but claimed that we never asked for a table outside and so on the nicest day of the year in NYC, we had to sit inside. \r

The menu has become completely uninteresting and the portions are tiny. What they call ""fondue"" is in fact just a blue cheese dip, not much more than salad dressing. The duck salad was miniscule, the green salad was completely tasteless and their flagship mac & cheese, though potentially tasty, tasted like it had been cooked in an oven that had not been cleaned in years - it had a burnt aftertaste to it. One of my party asked for a side of English peas, which the chef refused to provide as he was ""saving them for another dish"" - MAKE MORE.\r

The waitstaff were totally indifferent with a surly attitude and you feel like they're doing you a favor allowing you to eat there. The only highlight is the chocolate pudding. There are so many better places to eat in the Village - do yourself a favor and skip this one.\r
Pros: Chocolate pudding
Cons: Everything else
