Highlights- host was amazing and sat us without a reservation. Server was busy but attentive and informative. Nice, beachy modern design, garage door to one side where the chefs counter was with tons of natural light, banquette seating and a few 4 and 6 tops sprinkled in. There were two deuces open and although the banquette was the better table, we were seated at the center table near the busser station with all of their mise trays. Ordered two courses plus dessert. Second course lagged over 45 minutes, but it was also during their rush so we didn’t stress. Floor felt bustling and adequately staffed, bar was rocking somms were doing their thing. Everything was solid. NYC price point so no sticker shock from us. Lowlights- playlist was hot garbage and did not match the vibe. Playing corny radio hits from the 90s felt either like a mistake or trying to be funny but it was really just jarring. More of a “lights and music” critique than anything.
One thing we were dying to ask!! The backwaiter changed their earrings atleast 4 times during our dinner service. An uncrustable pair, lemons, a donut or a bagel…it was fascinating. Def added to the experience.
