Feile

I went to Feile for the first time the other day and went twice in one day because it was so good. The first time I went was for lunch and my friend and I ordered 3 appetizers/bar foods to share. Even though te server was not the most upbeat/personable person the food made up for it. I loved every single thing and I am pretty critical. I came back for dinner and I ordered the salmon with potatoes, corn, etc. My friend had ordered the steak cooked well done. When the food came out his steak was medium and my salmon was rare in the middle but everything else was great. I just asked the waitress to have to cook throw the salmon back in a pan and throw the steak back on the grill for two more minutes and they would be perfect. She took the dishes back, appoligized and came back with new dishes. This time my friends food was cooked perfectly but the salmon still needed another minute. I asked once again to cook for some more time and so she did. There was no attitude or rude faces and she even told the manager who so graciously came over to appoligize numerous time, even covered the bill for us. This was unnecessary but it just showed this place is full intuned with customer service. Once I got the food it was perfect and tasted incredible. I can not wait to go back and have already planned a trip up just for the night to go there for dinner. If your looking for lunch or dinner I would recommend this place hands down. 5 stars!!

A shame, very good bar eats -salads and pizza. Comically hostile service. Big sign: "Kitchen Open Till 2 A.M." At 1 A.M. I asked for a menu. Barman literally yelled at me to order "Right Away!" Next visit: Barman inisted on keeping customers' credit cards in his possession from opening order to end of meal or "no service!". Unreal. I thought he asked for the card to open a tab. When I realized he intended to hold it hostage for my entire stay, I asked for my card back, took five minutes to get it back. "I could demand your ID too!" I complained and told him I have lived and dined all over NYC for forty years, never heard of such a thing. "That's our policy!" Can management here really have such a policy?

I work in the neighborhood and I was happy when this place popped up since restaurants are few and far between around here. I've been to Feile 3-4 times now and have enjoyed myself each time. The waitstaff is pleasant and friendly, and the food is pretty good and well priced. There are a ton of flat screen TVs as well so coming here on Sundays for football or during the NCAA Tournament is also a good idea. Will definitely come back and recommend to others.
