My family and I selected this cafe based on its location and the misguided belief that it was one of the finer establishments in the area. We were sadly disappointed. The previous post is severely misguided regarding price. I live in Manhattan, eat out almost every night and I've been to every hot spot in the city. We were horrified when the bill arrived. They switched bottles on what we had ordered. The items on the menu were available, then not available and then miraculously available again. The dining experience grew into a game of Russian roulette. The chef needs Prozac. You come to a restaurant and you pay for an experience, not a meltdown my a narcissistic basket case. You order dinner, you expect what is promised, not what the chef feels like gracing you with if you are lucky. The staff were like deer staring down the barrel of the chef squawking gun. The place should be renamed Mel's Diner. The food was moderate at best.
Pros: Could be lovely with a different chef that can handle the pressure and the public
Cons: Every aspect of the experience
