Unimpressed. It's would be a nice place to get a quick drink and something to eat. However the service isn't quick enough for that appeal. It's ok if you just want drinks but the service isn't great and the food really isn't worth the wait.

Not too impressed... The idea of the restaurant is cute and definitely has a 'cozy' feel to it. Considering it has been such a cold week in NYC, seating guests next to a non-insulated window without adequate heat, was annoying. Waitress took forever to finally get to our table, introduce herself and at least take our drink orders. She wasn't very attentive, my drink was empty for a good 10minutes before I had to get myself and ask for another one. We enjoyed the food, but it's not ideal to eat with a jacket on because it's so cold. I had to ask for the check myself, and as we were leaving I over heard the 60something year old man who was either just a host, or the owner and the waitress discussing fellow guests "she looks miserable" etc etc. Not impressed with that kind of behavior, service or anything else for that matter. Screw you hipsters.

terrible meal. Cute restaurant and wait staff but AVOID THIS PLACE! The food is repulsive. Onion rings that have a nutmeg in the batter and served with a huge bowl of mayo w/blue cheese chunks. Hands down the most disgusting food I have ever had. Like giant onion donuts sprinkled with nutmeg. There was a charred trout that tasted like licking a dirty outdoor grill. It arrived at the table black as coal and had a terrible after taste. There was a mushy bland chicken smothered in mushroom sauce. A pungent beet salad with salmon that tasted like a salt lick. It was a memorable meal because it was so terrible. Cute bar but I couldn't go back after the catastrophe of a meal.

menu is promising but food and service ...eh. its great to see country fried steak and ny strip on the menu, but when you actually eat it, you know that you've had better, much better. plus the service, unfortunately like many restaurants in williamsburg that employ flaky people, leaves something to be desired. don't EVER ask for attention beyond the norm, you will be disappointed.
