I get no enjoyment out of posting this review. Actually quite the contrary. It's important that people know what they are in to. After reading some of the other reviews, it seems apparent that the handful of glowing reviews are highly dishonest...The featured review couldn't be any more misleading. Perhaps it was written by a person missing a tongue.

***First off, watch out for the Sweet Potato-parsnip Cakes, they are amazingly disgusting! Designated as a ""small plate"", it is a plate of what seems like about 3 sliced full baked potatoes, overly deep fried, and slathered with a pinkish-orange ""mayonnaise"" mystery sause that looks & feels more like cheese. When we sent ours back, even the bar tender agreed... disgusting! I DARE YOU TO ORDER THIS!

I live in DUMBO. We have a very limited number of places to eat. We don't even consider Rebar. Beer lines taste like they never get cleaned (seriously), food is less than you would find at a TGI Friday's in Penn Station. I challenge anyone to prove otherwise. Make sure you ask the bartender when the lines were last cleaned before you waste your money on a beer that tastes like bacteria and costs $8. People who live here seem to agree on this (at least in my building). Also, the Burger across the street (lunch only) is one of the best in NYC. Not to mention, they have a great bar manager who evidently believes in clean tap lines.

Good luck to you guys though, hope you figure it out & start serving food & beer fit for human consumption!
