[ "The waiter disappeared after dropping off the food so I had no choice but to eat it as is." ]

[ "I did not find the wait staff to rude at all, how involved do you really want them in your meal right?" ]

[ "Half way through the meal my husband had to go to the bar to order his own beer, since the server never came back." ]

[ "To the amusement of our server, I wrote everything down, lest I forget a single morsel (about 21 different dishes)." ]

[ "Order the porterhouse and they put it between you and you kind of eat family style at a wooden table." ]

[ "It's just a diner, but three decent hearty lunches for 12 bucks?" ]

[ "I ordered a medium Cub burger and it came out well done, not that my server would have noticed since we didn't see her again until she brought the check." ]

[ "The bar gets out of control busy due to it's proximity to Fordham University--but the Fordham kids are cool, so it's alright!" ]

[ "The waiter spent a long time telling us about the menu (and more about his own life history in the process." ]

[ "Comfort standbys--including bacon-wrapped meat loaf and barbecued ribs, and upscaled interpretations--like tuna club made with wasabi mayo, share space with brunch favorites (Belgian waffles, fluffy buttermilk pancakes and wrecked eggs, or tofu)." ]

[ "In other words, conserative types craving simpler things like grilled chicken or salmon probably would not appreciate Tabla's distinctive and unusual menu." ]

[ "I write that in quotes becuase iceberg lettuce, stale Pepperidge Farm croutons and bottled dressing does not a salad make." ]

[ "The menu sticks to standard Italian dishes--linguine with clam sauce, chicken parmigiana, and fettuccine Alfredo--but the reasonable prices add to the charm." ]

[ "I had the waiters bring back so much meat that that asked me if I wanted Flank steak for dessert." ]

[ "The waiter kept pestering us for our order even though we were among the last diners." ]

[ "Waiter suggests a beer, and offers to bring a small glass, to taste it and see if I like it, before I even order the beer!" ]

[ "I ordered dessert and it was they gave me the wrong flavor of ice cream." ]

[ "We started at the bar with a nice bottle of wine, which was priced fairly and sampled several different cheeses." ]

[ "A 3 course-meal took 2 1/2 hours, including 20 - 30 minutes waiting to get the check after dessert." ]

[ "And the room is VERY noisy, but I suppose that's because everyone is having a good time." ]

[ "We fully relied on our very capable waiter for choices of the menu and we were not disappointed." ]

[ "The food was abundant and good but wasn't worth the unpleasant wait." ]

[ "perhaps the place is better after the theatre crowd is gone but we were in the midst of it and it wasn't a very enjoyable experience." ]

[ "The waiter didn't know the menu, didn't bring more than one item at a time, and put some orders in twice with the kitchen." ]

[ "The Scene You won't blink twice at the restaurant's spartan decor: As the packed crowds and critics' praises wallpapering the front wall agree, this longtime local favorite is truly one of the area's most exquisite finds." ]

[ "The rolls are tiny so you have to order more anyway and they will often get your order wrong if you stray from the menu." ]

[ "We reserved the downstair lounge for private parties and the price was fairly reasonable." ]

[ "To start with - the maitre'd forgot our reservation and then when it came time to sit us down - he told us we only had an hour." ]

[ "In Short The bi-level dining room, which resembles a bamboo-thatched hut, is a brightly-lit, wide-open space with high ceilings and laminated depictions of Indian village life." ]

[ "At least the entertainment was free, as we were able to witness one customer wooing a waitress, and another being drenched in milk." ]

[ "The table next to us recommended that share because the portions are big(we split two entrees)The food was so good I wish that there was some left over to take home for the next day." ]

[ "We were immediately seated (the restaurant was no where close to being packed, surprise, surprise) There are very few selections on the menu and the food is not that great and the dining experience at Butter is completely overrated." ]

[ "The service was good, but not excellent; however, the waiter was initially huffy with me when my guest was only 5 minutes late, threatening to make me move!" ]

[ "Our waiter had started to circle around our table like a shark after our 2nd dish, taking out plates when we were not even done." ]

[ "It took a long time for the waiter to bring the check and we had to flag him down." ]

[ "Only drawback is the sound level - quite a loud space downstairs - and that might be accounted for with their trendy bar and right off Times Square." ]

[ "The menu is Prix Fixe, so be prepared to spend at least $60 per person, but it is Well worth itsuperb food." ]

[ "Went the next day for lunch - menu too pricey for lunch and the waiter was the WORST !!" ]

[ "The Food It's billed as Asian street food, but since the menu is a creative collaboration between expert chefs Vongerichten and Gray Kunz, dishes show unmistakable finesse." ]

[ "I would not recommend this place until they get a new staff that can complement the food." ]

[ "On the table you will also find individual bottles of fine imported olive oil which we put on the bread-fantastic!" ]

[ "The service was good enough for a crowded place." ]

[ "Then the staff behind the buffett just haven't gotten their groove yet, so you order your food and wait five minutes while it sits behind the glass on a plate, getting cold." ]

[ "The bar tender didn't know where the tea was, waiters started making the drinks if the bar tender wasn't around." ]

[ "yes Shrimp not lobster (those are 6 Lbs) try the exotic Fish not on the menu and a must have is the Flower stuffed with lump crab meat." ]

[ "The only problem my party found was that when people asked for knives and forks (there were only chopsticks on the table) the waitress laughed at them." ]

[ "I have a litany of complaints -- being over-charged for wine that I didn't order, shady waiters, so-so food that arrived at the table luke warm, main course portion sizes barely large enough to be appetizer sizes, lack of fabulosity that Mr." ]

[ "Unlike the reviewer before me, what made me KEEP going back was the great reception I received from the bouncers and I needed several cocktails to endure the waitstaff." ]

[ "The waitress forgot our coffee, took forever to take our order, never checked in with us after the food came and when we were done, didn't bring us the check for the longest time." ]

[ "Wish the Greenwich street location had more seating like their 2nd Ave location, because one invariably leaves it smelling of grease." ]

[ "Aside from that, the service is adequate (visible, and will help you if you ask, but lack initiative), and the food, well, could be a lot worse." ]

[ "The wait staff was better the second time around and our water glasses were always full." ]

[ "I highly suggest you make reservations, as wait times can be extremely long." ]

[ "For a restaurant with such limited menu and wine list, each dish should better be darn good." ]

[ "Waitress kept trying to get us to order more drinks while apologizing but wouldn't even bring bread to keep us from starving." ]

[ "Both appetizers arrived cold/luke-warm, which we had to send back, only to have the waiter tell us that one was supposed to be cold." ]

[ "The Food Consulting Chef Douglas Rodriguez's forte is blending the diversity of traditional Latin cuisine with modern culinary chic: A celery sorbet cools the spicy-citrus bite of lobster; shrimp seviche and crunchy green plantains coat thick, juicy halibut resting on sweet plantain hash; and tart tomato escabeche moistens a chewy skirt steak." ]

[ "The perfect meal; delux combo raw bar as an appetizer, King crab as your entree." ]

[ "The place was not crowded for dinner on a Sunday night at 8:30pm." ]

[ "Waiter dropped check on table while I was in the middle of handing my wife her anniversary present." ]

[ "Meat wasn't fall-off-the bone (a sign of over-cooking) but was tender and had deep flavor." ]

[ "The waiter came back after I had finished my appetizer to correct himself and let me know that it wasn't vegetarian (chicken stock) after all." ]

[ "Food took over an hour despite at least two chasers, we had to track the server down to get extra drinks, the manager seemed to try and deliberately mislead us about the reason behind the delay and in the end the food was poor." ]

[ "The waiters are nice, but weren't particularly good - waited forever to order and resented not being told that my dinner companion and I had ordered enough for a table of 10 (given the size of the sushi)." ]

[ "The place is very loud, good for drinks by the bar not to eat and yell." ]
