I'll admit to high expectations of this shabby chic European style cafe tucked into the Bryant neighborhood. What a disappointment.
The service was so sharp and cold that it sucked the lemon right out of my creme brulee. The wine was a measley pour and the barkeep insisted on correcting our (poor, but earnest) pronounciations of the wine brands.
Taking itself entirely too seriously on such small plates, Pair still packs the house. If service doesn't matter to you - and small portions help you stay slim (I know, I know...it's intentional..."tapas" style for sharing) - enjoy the creative and delicious food. As for me, I'll find a stool at a more friendly, heaping bar.
