Tried it last night... It's cool and cute, a total throwback. They were closing so selection was limited.

I really liked the stuffed cabbage and the chicken wrapped spinach (a bit garlicky though). Sweet couple...

Wow! The planned memorial is an absolute monstrosity. Unfortunately 9/11 has become such a taboo in this country that being against of even an ugly, un-natural, park destroying symbol of it feels unpatriotic and not respectful enough.

I truly hope this doesn't go through and will join the next demonstration against it.

Very sad to see you guys shut down. Ate there 3-4 times only, wish I'd gone last week.

All the best in your future endeavors...

I do grant that the outside seating has improved... But the menu is a shameless copy of La Rustique, that right there tells me who is copying whom (and not that well).

We tried the new spot for the first time and we found it to be ok, but not as good as rustique. The salads are semi-copies, the pie is heavier. It's not bad, but it's not great, and it doesn't seem to have enough of its own personality just yet. Hopefully it will improve with time...

I don't know about the rent/landlord business. If true, that's pretty mean-spirited to take over someone else's oven and business (no relationship to either owner, but have had rustique for a few years).

That's terrible, and as the above post states what a great old car, perhaps impossible to replace.

I'm a car hobbyist and have had several repairs in various shops. If you decide to repair, pm me and I could recommend shops (merc specific).

Good luck.

Just had a sandwich & capuccino there recently and...

It's awesome! I really like the food, the roti chickens smelled/looked good too. They seem to be doing good business with those...

Such a sweet little place.
