  My daughter and I stopped here for a late lunch after sightseeing and we were hungry. The food was very good. We had a quinoa bowl with chicken and a southern fried chicken sandwich with fries. We enjoyed both. The fries were delicious, very crispy.  The only downside was no free refills on iced tea, but maybe that's a NYC thing.

  Appalling. From dirty floors, to indifferent service, to barely mediocre food, this restaurant deserves to be replaced by an owner who actually wants to be in the restaurant biz.

  I've been here twice.  The first time I had breakfast: an omelette, home fries, toast, and coffee.  The omelette and home fries were standard, the toast tasted like it was stale bread that had been toasted, and the coffee was...strange.  $5 for a normal cup of coffee and no matter how much milk I added, it didn't get any lighter in color.  I've never experienced anything like it.
  
  The second time I went, I had lunch: a smoked mozzarella sandwich and French fries.  Overall, it was okay, however the cheese was just sliced cheese where I was expecting something more.  The bread was just ok. The fries were standard.
  
  I want to like this place because I live in the area and there's not much else so close by.  The waitstaff is friendly but doesn't really seem to "get it".  It seems like they've had little training and are just winging it.  I'm hoping that someone from the establishment reads this review and can implement some changes.  I'd really love them to turn this around into a place I can frequent often.

  Wasn't the best, wasn't the worst. My friend and I were walking back from the Brooklyn Bridge and this was one of the few nearby places to grab a bite. What reeled us in was the vegan options, but what will keep us away was the service and the prices.
  
  Our waiter was friendly and did his job, but was slow to come take our order. Seating options are pretty limited. Four to five high tops, several booths and a few tables, plus seats along the window with a small table as your actual table. They were short staffed and the food wasn't all that impressive with how much we paid for it.
  
  I got a burger that had delicious bacon and thick slices, well actually just one thick tomato, but the fries were average and they don't have many special sauces which always makes me sad. The bun was pretty good and fluffy, but I asked for well done and got borderline pink. My friend got a quinoa bowl that was filled to the brim of the bowl, it was light and refreshing and wasn't drenched in dressing.  
  
  After the end of our visit I was sad we chose this place, I'm only here in NYC for a few days and if I could choose something else I would have. Lesson learned, take a hint from mine.

  I haven't waited this long for anything since Space Mountain.
  
  The service was surely lacking this AM, but the food was ok until I noticed the pool of oil my egg white omelette was basking in.  Probably a must-miss
