THEIR NAME SAYS IT ALL. This place is just awful. We brought a bunch of people to celebrate a nice occasion on an idle Monday night and they literally asked us to leave after we had already kicked off the night with various drinks including bottles of wine because they were anticipating it might get busy later in the evening. Uh, we were there at 6pm! (and were an eclectic mix of 20s-30s from the city, seated at two tables and some at the bar, and everyone was ordering something). In addition, we had called a week in advance to let them know we were doing a happy hour gathering with guest info and were told no problem. Numerous members of our party either work or have worked in the industry for a number of years and they could not believe it. As a patron, I was shocked but also embarrassed by their crude and uncultivated ways. The little twit of a bar manager (you're not a Tenenbaum) with the disaffected attitude represents the worst of the nouveau faux-elite hipster graduate class of New York. Fortunately we went to another nearby spot to hang out and celebrate but this was such an unnecessary way to start off an evening of fun and drinks. Seriously, don't bother with this place (trust me, they won't care). Sooner of later, their cool-to-customers attitude (""come... go... whatever..."") will leave these wannabe bourgeoisie to partake in what's left of stale beer and stench of decay all to their sweet selves. Ironically, we had some friends from Paris with us and they thought this place gave French people a bad name!
Pros: If you're going to pretend to be French and snobby, at least get your pronouns straight on the Menu!
Cons: Poor service, poor taste. Classless, but maybe that's what they're going for?
