Friendly waiter, lovely secret location, poor, sad food. 4/11/2007

I went here with a few girlfriends last Friday night. I just started working in the neighborhood and thought I'd like to get to know some ot the local spots in this charming area of Soho.\r I was first taken aback when we were seated at the table next to the bar. If you sit next to the wall, you have to look directly into the bar's interior. Not the best view looking at the glasses, bottles, sink, etc. Also, nice but very loud man (owner, manager) shouted into his phone 2 feet from us for about 10 minutes. Overall,, the atmosphere was lovely and the lighting nice, but you enjoy little of this from this table. \r \r The waiter was very friendly and sweet. And then the food came... I tried the soup special. Super salty broth with a few mushrooms. The bacalao was possibly of the frozen variety that they had heated up in a microwave. There is no way it was fresh. \r \r I wish I could have liked this place but there isn't much to bring me back. I plan on trying some of the other places like Giorgione and Pinxtos and will NOT be coming back here. I resent paying for anything of poor quality esp. with so many other amazing choices in NY Pros: If seated at a table by the window, I only imagine that the ambience is lovely. Cons: Poor food, poor seating more
