Let me start by saying I love the 57th and have been going here since it opened. Our last trip was rather disappointing, I ordered a ribeye steak ($28) but was served a NY Strip ($27) that was bland and lifeless. Annoyingly I was charged for the ribeye. Oh well, $1, the collard greens were really good so I didn't say anything. The worst part was the appetizer, we ordered the pimento cheese trio ($10) and it was excellent until we asked for extra crackers (which seemed reasonable considering they only gave us 10). We were told they would cost extra?!?! $4 extra. I could buy two boxes for that price... Needless to say we declined. The service was very good and I don't fault our waiter, I just can't fathom how such a good restaurant can nickel and dime its customers like that and serve food worth half the price. It will be a while before we visit again...
