As we entered the light skin lady behind the bar with curl didn’t even greet us and ask us to go outside until the restaurant open in 10mins.She is definitely not a welcoming person at all! So we decide to leave. The First impressions is always a must!

Literally the worst service in NY. Paid for a $16 cocktail that was basically soda and gin labeled as a spritz and served in a mug. Mezze plate was fine but not remarkable. Potatoes were weirdly flavored. Def not going

The people who work here are all so nice, truly everyone was kind, polite, smiled ? but they still don?t provide good service and you can tell there are regulars of course and the staff are very interactive with thembut service suffers, right down to filling an empty water glass or asking if you?d like more wine or even silverware. It?s justhard to overlook how difficult it is to enjoy a meal with an empty wine glass and no fork to eat with or napkin if you are infact eating. I could have easily stayed and had more wine, something else to eat, possibly dessert, but ? not someplace I wouldgo back to.

I?m giving it 5 stars because I really did have a great time overall. I would like to note a few things that would improve my experience next time. 1: thewaitress had an odd demeanor and the friend I was with can typically get anyone excited to talk to but this woman was not havingit. She seemed a bit like I?m too cool for this but maybe that?s just what you get at some places in Brooklyn. 2: our entreescame out while we were still eating our appetizers. I would have appreciated having those spaced out a bit more. It felt rushed.It did not deter me from wanting to return or enjoying how amazing the food and drinks were!
