Editorial Review
Who doesn’t want to love this place? It has the old New York Jewish diner schtick nailed all the way down to the signs in the window and the art deco typefaces on the menu. From the soda jerk behind the counter to the matzoh ball soup on the menu, everything seems right. But the service is so spotty, the food so bland and the prices so preposterous that what starts as budding love curdles to hate with a quickness. The owner is a particularly obnoxious omnipresence, whether filling in for the no-show hostess or freaking out the waitstaff who always seem to be suffering through their first day on the job.
