I was very receptive to this restaurant because of all its positive aspects - interesting and quality food, warm decor, good location (for me), the coffee window (!) - but after visiting this place for various reasons more than a handful of times, I find it hard to ignore the treatment both me and my company have received. Between being ignored while seated at the small, half-full bar on multiple occasions, and being on the receiving end of a near hissy-fit from our waitress, I'm certainly not too eager to return. It's a shame because I like its vibe and it's close to my apartment. Maybe I'll try it again in 6 months after there's been some staff turnover.
