We walked by on saturday night and decided to go in for a drink since it was quiet and had available seating. The bouncer out front ignored us while he was flirting with another person who he clearly knew or was trying to get to know. I told him all we wanted was to go in and have a few drinks and he gives us attitude and asked if we have a reservation? I said no. He tells us to wait and he was ready and continued to talk to his new "friend". So given this BS attitude, we just walked away. When he called us back, I told him forget about it. The beauty of the LES is it's cool laid back vibe. I expect attitude from the meatpacking area, which is why I never go there. This place should change it's policy or prepare to be out of business.

Went there Nov 2009 for my friends going away party, moving to another country, we reserved a table. The food was mediocre, way overpriced. My friend who reserved the table had to put her card down to reserve the table. Everyone in the party of 20 paid separately for their drinks we were there for about 6 hrs, probably spent well over $700 all together. At the end of the night when my friend went to get her card and pay off the 3 drinks she ordered on it, they ran her card $250, and then coerced her to sign the slip, stating that we had not spent enough money as a group and did not meet the 2 drink minimum each. We asked to speak with the manager who refused to speak with us, the waitress was very rude and refused to change the bill. In addition, the next day it appeared she gave herself a $70 tip on top of it. Although this place was cool will never go back.

Ok! to start off, everything was absolutely amazing!! the food, the service, the the prices... just evertything! the wall of plants was awesome, it is such an origional idea and it took me a few minutes to marvel over the fact that i NEVER would have thought of that! also, i love the music it was perfectly blended with the atmosphere and made the environment feel comfortable and relaxed. And the food was probably the best i have ever tasted, at our table we shared a few thing and i loved all of it and usually that does not happend! Great job everyone and thankyou sooo much for such a great dinner!!! i will be back!! :)

Wow, what a mixed bunch of reviews. We went to dinner last night, my birthday and had a wonderful meal, very attentive service and pleasant conversation. The room was quiet, the bar too but everyone seemed very happy to see us. My husband and I had the market special AMAZING deal for th quality of food, we had a strawberry mint drink that was divine.

The food was okay...not much more. The drinks were overpriced considering the lack of quality. I had the BBMargarita and someone else had the special Cucumber Mojito. Neither was good at all. They were just bland drinks with some alcohol thrown in. I can't stress enough how unplesant the service was last night...a Monday night mind you. Either the restaurant needs to figure out the best way to accomodate more than one large (8 ppl) party at a time - here's a hint, don't take reservations for large parties for the same time, or they should just cut bait and close shop altogether. You're fighting a losing battle on all sides.

A small group of us visited this spot over the weekend. The last time I was here was great because it was a private party and we had the entire space (winter 2008). But my, how I quality service has dropped. There were only four other customers in the space while we were there. The first disappointment was the condescending attitude our waitress gave us when we inquired about the brunch time (some of us accustom to brunch ending at 1pm). She gave us the definition of brunch and added to the end, “so there, now you know.” The second was when two of us ordered special drinks, she explained, “well the two other peoples’ drinks are included in the meal while both of yours will be extra, which will be more..” insinuating that we could not afford the additional drinks and did not read the menu. To that, we just ordered plain orange juice which was included and she then paused and told us we could still order the extra drinks if we wanted to, attempting to reverse the awkward statement. We repeated the plain drink order and returned back to conversation. The third item was that one person’s plate was visibly dirty. We told the waitress, who was inattentive the whole time (also didn’t serve us, a busboy did), and she agreed that it was dirty and didn’t look good. She just claimed that she didn’t see the plate go out because if she had, she would not have let that happen. The plate was taken back (per our request) and we were brought a new one. The food was only average, nothing special really. Although the waitress took that plate off the bill, the damage was already done by her unnecessary snobby manner. Needless to say, we had dessert elsewhere because this service was so uncomfortable.

Good choice of meals for both vegetarians and meat eaters. Service was great, the servers are well informed of the food and drink options. The atmosphere is a perfect place to bring someone for a date. The garden in the back wall is amazing.
