Hot chocolate was COOLD. So I ask to get another one. No plates. Food arrive first than drinks. Hot chocolate place on December at union square banging bad bunny. I really regret. Plus first time that my parents come to the city so I was trying to impress them. Bad decision. I asked one of the bussers for water and he told me to wait for my server. And yes I also work in the industry. Btw I came back cause last year was perfect

And of course, we had something chocolate! The only issue is that we could feel the cold air every time the door opened - but then again this is NYC in November! Maybe they could put some type of barrier around the door to help control or redirect the draft. Overall, we had a great time!

We had to ask for plates, forks, napkins, water, etc. MULTIPLE times. Don’t go here for the actual food, which is fairly bad. My chicken was so garlicky that my kid asked what the horrible smell was. Yeah, that smell is my inedible chicken. Just go for dessert, which is really fun, if you can put up with the harried service and ear-splitting sound levels.
