Problem: LOVED LOVED LOVED this place. First, the service was impeccable. Our server was great and others would come by and refill our drinks and check up on us constantly. The breakfast portions are huge!! The standouts were the breakfast nachos (such a great idea!!) and the pancakes (so fluffy inside but with a light buttery crust on the outside). The hangover sandwich was tasty but overwhelming, it's all protein, which was yummy but left you feeling gross. The fresh squeezed OJ was great and a huge portion. They seemed to have great HH specials, but we never made it back.

Problem: I visited for lunch with two friends and thought it was just okay. The service was less than ideal - they seemed to ignore a table of twenty-somethings to fawn over Ladies Lunching; the waitress was one who doesn't write anything down and brought me the wrong wrap; and there were occasional long delays. Our group ordered the crab cake, the penne, and the vegetable wrap, and nothing really stuck out. My wrap and sweet potato fries were very bland. Desserts were the definite upside - perfect creme brulee and raspberry cheesecake. The restaurant is also very pretty and there is excellent people-watching. But the food is just mediocre.

Problem: Excellent ambience from the decor to the James Brown playing. Service was also great. Great crowd even at 2pm on a Saturday. Both my wife and I thought the menu was a little too abstract. The waitress had to explain - this is a salad, this is a sandwich. We both ordered the burger and it was delicious, although a tad pricey at $14 (and no sides). We ordered a side of some fried veggies and we both found those entirely too salty...couldn't finish the bag. I think they have the makings for a great little restaurant with some menu and price refinements. The other down side is that we left feeling greasy...not sure if it was the fried veggies or the burger. I look forward to trying more menu options and increasing my rating to a 4. Two months later...I did return with my parents for breakfast and sadly, we won't be back. The food just isn't hitting the spot and it's entirely over priced. Portion sizes are ridiculously small, bacon is too thick, cinnamon toast was peppered with coarse sugar, coffee bowls are lame...Change the menu and prices and we'll back. We used to go to Fabu on the regular but we can't swing your Manhattan prices.

Problem: Visited on a Thursday night. Small, dark, very smoky bar. People were extra friendly and welcoming. Outstanding karaoke DJ. Cheap beer. Great fun!
