As a former employee, just take it from me. When the lights went on at the end of the night the insects would scatter. I once saw a fellow waiter drop a pizza, face side down and slather it right back on the tray and serve it to his customers. Because the service is so slow, and the dirty rodent filled basement houses the kitchen, food is lifted up through an ancient dumbwaiter. If you are on the 4th floor it is about 16 flights down to let the kitchen know of any mis-orders or just to get a side of bleu. If you could smell the decaying garbage in the basement hallway (right next to the kitchen) it would be something that will stay with you forever. Trust me, have you ever seen the restaurant in the daylight? If you did, you would never, ever go back!
Cons: dirty, slow...
