I had a party of 9 reservation and was very disappointed at the service.
Our apetizers took quite a while to be served, in fact, while all the other tables that sat way after us were being served I asked the waiter what happened to our appetizers, the calamari was tough; The entrees were tasteless and really!, one have to be really bad to mess a simple pasta dish.
Expect a crowd while waiting, but they seat quickly.
I must admit the times my family (6 or more) have had dinner there the service seemed to forget us after serving the main course.

Although the atmosphere was lacking, I could definitely recommend a trip to Esca for the fish alone!

The Scene North Square's discreet, sedate decor appeals to the largley older crowd occupying the dining room whilst a younger set parties in the back bar.
When I asked the waitress she told me it was because I ordered pancakes.
We went out on the town with the idea that we were going to mingle with the in crowd, you know, go to a place where you pay an outrageous cover charge, have to wear all black to fit in, and pay $12 for a watered-down martini, and if you're lucky, have a good time.
Much has been made of Island's lack of french fries--space and cost are cited on the menu--but an order of thick crispy salt and vinegar chips almost satisfies the craving.
Service was atrocious: appetizers came out 3 minutes after we ordered, and 10 minutes before we finally tracked down the bottle of wine we had ordered, the waiter rushed us from start to finish, we had to repeatedly track down someone to pour us more wine since it wasn't at the table, etc, etc.
mapQuest before you go and you'll arrive early enough start off at the bar with a fabulous old school cocktail.
The white tablecloths covering closely-packed, old wood tables; waitresses with accents and up-turned noses; warm firelight ambience; boisterous crowds drinking wine -- it's all here.

When the group arrived for the Noon lunch the restaurant was only partially set up and the group was forced to eat lunch while the staff noisily set up the restaurant around them.
About 10 of us came here for drinks last friday, the atmosphere was good for chatting and hanging out, but not enough lounge or bar space, they should open up the back area w/ more loungable chairs or booths if they want to catch any after dinner sort of bar crowd.
The waiters can shoot off a 5 minute long list of specials, and they know the menu very well.
My friends and I went to dinner last weekend and had a great time.
beside i have to wait long time with my food, waiter service ok but unfriendly.
Our waiter said 3 words to us, wisked away our food as we were finishing, and the maitre'd could not take his eyes off our table waiting for us to leave.
The only downside was our waitress -- she forgot to order one of our side dishes, was not attentive, and then gave us our check before we finished our bottle of wine.
I spent more time looking for a waiter than I did enjoying my meal.
After sitting at the table with empty glasses for a 1/2 hour, we had to ask the busboys to get us drinks as our waiter was nowhere to be found.
The texture of their flat noodles is something that has to be experienced to understand.
The only thing that was a little annoying was that the hostess didnt want to let us finish our first drinks at the bar and kept rushing us to sit down.
You get plenty of food for the price, enough leftovers for lunch and they actually serve garlic chicken with lots of chicken and chinese vegetables.
We heard two different servers telling tables about these specials, and when we asked to hear them, they wouldn't tell us them.

The menu looked good, except for offering the Chilean Sea Bass, but the server does not offer up the specials that were written on the board outside.
The waiter, and someone at the next table, were both correct when they said that the lobster was delicious, but I though the price was a little steep.
The wait staff is very attentive; though if the place is really packed, then you may have to flag someone.
They were rude, didn't know their drinks and were unable to demonstrate any professionalism in their service mentality.
But the service was absolutely terrible, and we watied 45 minutes for food.
Yes, the prices SEEM afordable, but the portions are so small that you end up spending $100+ just to fill 2 people and get a couple drinks.
The food was good but we were dissatisfied with waiting too long for a uncomfortable table.
I asked the waiter to move us to another table because we didn't want to rush our meal.

The servers and/or bus persons dart back and forth through the dining room, never even making eye contact to see if you have any needs.
We ordered coffee, and then he ordered a bacon cheeseburger (for $12, ridiculous even for New York) The waiter then announced he was going to charge us a $4 sharing charge.

We were seated promptly for a Saturday lunch, but service was incredibly slow.
The Scene With its long zinc bar, plush couches and patterned suede walls, the lounge is a swank spot for midtown's cocktail crowd.
The menu offers favorites from all over China: mellow Lake Tung-Ting shrimp from Hunan; peppery Sichuan tofu with minced pork; and Shanghainese soups with pickled mustard greens.
My only complaint is waiting a bit between the appetizer and the main course but it was well worth it.
The atmosphere was fun and if you sit by the window, there is a lot of people-watching to be had!

The manager refused to talk to me sending the waiter to tell me to tell me that he was not available, when I had previously seen him doing absolutely nothing at the bar.
The menu consists of a tasting selection, Austrian, traditional American, and the chef's recommended menu.
And forget about having a drink at the bar to take the edge off because the space between tables is so narrow that you'll be shoved by the wait staff who are desparate to get their job done.
Also, try to get a seat at the main bar, because I sat at the smaller bar by the entrance and it was getting so crowded with people waiting that it became a bit unpleasant towards to end of the meal.
The sandwiches, platters, and pitzas are top notch too, but I could make a meal just out of their pita bread and babaganoush.

At dinner on a Saturday night, I was enthused by the bustling, unpretentious crowd and the lusciously warm lighting.

Their service can use a little assistance, but their food is great.
I told the waiter that my drink tasted very bad and asked if he could swap it out for a Petron Margarita.
The waiters, all wearing black suits, are serious, courteous, and knowledgeable; the dining rooms are ornate and convivial, with large parties celebrating various things interspersed with dressed-up couples on dates.
When you're sitting in their main dining room (which has a spectacular, hand-painted high ceiling) you'd never know there was a world outside.
The overpriced ice cream is delicious but the service is atrocious - not only do I have to wait to be admitted into this ice cream joint, but the waiter is a snide, gruff man more suited to be a trucker than an ice cream shop server.
We didn't see him the rest of the night, the other courses come out sporadically, and no one ever asked if we wanted more wine (which we did) or refilled our water -- even after we flagged down another waiter, nothing happened.
After demanding a free round of drinks from a third manager, our party decided to bail on this horrific french import.

We had a reservation for Monday lunch and were seated promptly, which was a pleasant surprise.
Maybe it was the choices the chefs had put on the Restaurant Week Menu, but much of our food was just so-so.
Our dinner was enhanced by a 1999 Pinot Grigio, recmmended by the waitress.
And the ambience is very cool, stop by on a Saturday afternoon and you can play some old school games while having a beer.
The waitress even gave us a complimentary dessert- warm chocolate lava cake with a scoop of cinnamon ice cream, what a perfect end to a perfect dinner!
The menu can give you price shock but the food, service and drinks are worth every stinking penny.
However, the service was so excellent, we added $10 to the tip!

The staff was courteous and explained the menu with detail.

The best aspect of Dylan Prime is that it's a perfect spot for a first date, a business dinner, a casual night-on-the-town or even just a quite bite at lunch.
We too had reservations but the gentleman never checked a book to see our names or check us off.
The host was aloof; my waitress, though sweet, didn't seem to know the food or the menu very well; and the waiter we flagged over to order our wine seemed as if he had never looked at the wine list before.
Our food was delivered in a timely fashion but if you wanted another drink or your check you had to hunt down your server.
The waiter knew his menu and what to recommend.
I liked the beer selection!
The manager never came to our table and the restaurant didn't offer anything to compensate for the error (they could have taken the two cocktails off the check ).
The waiter did not know the menu, and was very unaccomidating about substutions.
There was a ten minute wait with a reservation, but the bar kept us entertained.
I don't expect an enormous, heaping plate of food, but c'mon.

With so many $20 bottles of wines from which to choose, our waiter helped pick a good one.
It's a small and quaint place so have your expectations in check, but that doesn't mean anything bad - know going in that you are gonna eat some serious food!

The Wasa Waffle was different but when we spoke to the manager he inmediatly changed if for another dish (He suggested the Chocolate decadence French Toast.

Meals not served at once and service was inattentive and forgetful.
Seated in the upstairs part of the restaurant my party and I were subjected to rude, abrupt service and unmercifully long waits for our food.
The food is very good for the price.
The good service started from the moment we walked in the front door.
The owner lied to me when i asked where our food was 1 hour after we placed the order - he said oh your friend said you were not ready for it.
Now, I expressed my surprise and then the bartender and manager chimed in with a simpleton's remark sir, with restaurants at this time, reservations start coming in.
Never heard anything about a minimum required food order of $30 or had any bad experiences with the staff.
we saw another waitress spill hot coffee on another diner's foot.
Our waiter took his time taking our drink orders ('97 Italian red was good).
we wanted to join another 2 top table to ours and the manager abruptly said, that won't work for us!
I've heard all the complaints about food and staff at this place, and perhaps some people have had an unfortunate encounter with the host or a cranky waiter.
I waited for 45 minutes for my entree to realize that the waiter never put the order in.
Got a seat quick, and had some weird fill-out order form for a hard to understand menu.
We waited in standing at the entrance for 5 mins to get seats due to just slow service, another 10mins to get menu, and then another 10mins to get water bread.

I left feeling unsatisfied, except for having a nice chance to people watch in the cozy atmosphere with my over-priced pasta bolognese.
I had dinner with a few of my friends, and it was the best we've had in a long time.
The crowd doesn't disappoint: A well-heeled, fashionable clientele packs the polished-wood-and-glass-partitioned space, settling into one of two dining rooms, or the bar, which is located at the farthest corner from the entrance.
Their bagels have the perfect softness to them, but on the outside there's a bit of crispiness to give it a bit of texture.
our appetizers came out relatively quickly, but it was near impossible to get a hold of a waiter to order and get our drinks.
The food is average, however the service is way below average (our waiter was a stuttering fool when it came to the specials and left our drinks empty for the majority of the night) The atmostphere is cheesy as well as the crowd.
$25 prix fixe sounds like a good deal, but dinner was still $100 for two, the portions were small, and the ($35) wine, clearly where the money is made, mediocre.
The manager came out very defensively and insisted that it was a 2 lb lobster.
Nice family place, nice atmosphere, but don't go there for pizza.
The host's explanation was they could not control when people finish dinner.
Service at the bar was fine, just as you would expect.
The bartender has a nasty attitude, and it took a party of two 1 1/2 hours to get seated while party after party of the hosts 'friends' were given seating immediately.
If you're going to label spicy items on your menu as spicy (like the Buffalo and Cajun wraps), I think you should go ahead and label all the spicy items as spicy.
Our salads and appetizers were brought at the same time and we barely had time to enjoy them before a team of waiters whisked them (and our bread!)
Mysteriously, the reserved tables all stayed empty throughout our meal and were still empty when we left an hour later.
Our booth style seats would've been more romantic if our waitress, though nice, was less intrusive, and the loud music from its bar didn't filter thru so much.
My grandmother-in-law had a problem with her meal, and the manager AND chef came over and offered to replace it and/or take it off the check.
I don't have much to say about the cafe itself; you can order out from the family-run cafe in the front, or take a seat in the back, which opens up to the outdoors and can offer a less seedy and more homey atmosphere.
Large portions of food to share.
During the summer the outdoor area is a great place to sit and eat you pizza.
From making the reservation (not required) to the before dinner drink (cava), to the table (romantic), to the the ambiance (candles, spanish antiques, etc) to the food of course (original, incredibly deep and rich in flavor) to our departure and saying goodnight to the waiter.
Staples are available every which way--tacos hard and soft, wrapped in tortillas stuffed with guacamole, cheese or black beans; burritos of beef, breaded catfish, pork pipian and chipotle chicken; plus a choice of four sauces from mild to just plain stupid.
If you can get a corner table you can see the entire room while eating in elegance.
After our waitress brought us menus took our drink orders, a diff hostess came over asked us to give up our table.
The waitstaff told us that they had already run out of one of the entrees (before 8 p.
(food was delivered by a busboy, not waiter) We got no cheese offered for the pasta, our water and wine glasses remained EMPTY our entire meal, when we would have easily spent another $20 on wine.
The waitstaff chatted at the bar amongst themselves and completely ignored us for the entire meal-- which took some work, as the place is small enough with the garden closed!
The noise level is equivalent to a sports bar.
I am hoping the stale service was a one shot deal because it was deplorable for what we paid for dinner!
There are a few chefs who aren't very enthusiastic and not very theatrical, but the end product is always great food.
The crust was a crispy tan dream come true with those little blackened air bubbles and chewy center.
The waitress, host, and bus staff were sitting around at the bar while the patrons were all complaining about the service.
The menu options were not appealing, we had to beg the waiter to ask the chef if we could have just a plain dinner salad to start as their salad choices were not appetizing.
My only complaint is that the place is over crowded on weekends, but that's the price you pay for having such great food.
The Food In a health-conscious century, it's as likely to be the pub grub as it is the booze that does you in.
But the food here is excellant and there are just too many appetizers (in the traditional custom of Korean restaurants) to sample.
The smell near the bar is unbearable, the food is so so, nothing out of the norm, just very plan.
This happened while many diners were enjoying their meal and it was rudes.
The food and wine selection is superb and the chef brings it all together each and every time.
But even on New Years, when they were busy, the owners took the time out to visit our table frequently, even pouring us drinks herself from her own creations.
However the manager came over and aplogized and all drinks were on him.
The service is excellent and always informative without an air.
The service was horrendous, not only did the waiter take an hour to remember we ordered drinks, we were rushed to eat and get out so they could seat the next party.

They gave us desert menus but never came back for a desert order, instead we had to ask for the check and a bus boy retreived it for us.
The hostess did offer free drinks to my party due to the wait, but we were more interested in eating after said long wait.
The french fries are soggy, the service is so/so and while it looks like a cute little homestyle cafe you'd find in SF, the food is below average.
I had to wait 1hr since I got there around 8pm but you could have a few drinks by the bar since the ambiance is very loungy/ club like.
The portions were so big that after a cocktail drink we had no room left for desert.
We sat way before 2 other tables ahead of us that rec'd their appetizers before us; the waiter neglected to apologize.
I also watched several other frustrated customers getting the wrong orders or trying to catch the waiter's attention (he was posing at the soda fountain).
Our waiter ask us what kind of soufle we wanted and told us to get 2, making us believe that it was part of the pre-fixe, nope soufles are seperate and we were so full from dinner we could barely finish one.
The manager then comes over to the table and asks us to leave - to help him out because there were people waiting!
The atmosphere was embracing and enticing and the costs of the meal, $45 to $55 in value.
After our initial order, the waitress wasn't very attentive (we had to wait 15 minutes at a time to get her attention to refill drinks, order desert, etc).
The first time my husband and I went there, both the appetizer and entreee I ordered were not available, but we had a waitress who was really on top of things.
It is nearly impossible to get a table, so if you ever have the chance to go here for dinner, DO NOT pass it up.
The staff treated them like true royalty.
Great when the band is playing, not so great when there's a large party at the bar.
The hamburger showed up long before the mussels, and the waiter suggested I start eating because he didnt want my food to get cold.
B/c the dinner focused on good friends and good food, not waiting around for service or being bothered by rude staff to leave.
(Though the filet won't be enough if both have hearty apitites.
The prices were moderate for fine dining, and although the restaurant is relatively small, it was easy to have a quiet conversation even though the tables are fairly close together.
Our waiter was not attentive, we waited about 20 mins just to order drinks.
i ate here with a friend by default-- we were in the meatpacking district on a saturday night, every place in the area was pretty much booked, we were hungry, i only drink sake, and he was treating :).
I planned a holiday dinner at Kurio and we ended up waiting two hours for the appetizers.
This was not the same hostess I usually see there who happens to be very sweet and provides excellent service.
