We were expected a party of 13 and were seated outside. Shortly after being seated we were told they mis seated us and the table was for people intending to spend 2k and they already had a reservation coming in a few hours. They would re-seat us. So they re-seated us about 5 feet away at the same type of table, just not under a tarp. So fine. Then it began to rain. They put umbrellas over us but we assumed it most likely wasn't for our benefit. They asked if we would like to be re-seated inside so I spoke up and said yes. So we waited inside and they were nice about 5 of our guests being late. We ordered but it was definitely a vibe I didn't like. This restaurant is geared toward high spenders. We ordered the basics, $25 meals, an $14 alcoholic drink, water, etc. We were there quite a long time and they were very patient with us. But it just wasn't a genuine servicing atmosphere. It wasn't even that busy at all. It was a rainy day and most reservations had most likely canceled. The food was very good. I ordered the octopus and fries. The octopus was tender but the truffle fries were spicy and I just wasn't into it. I do understand this is NYC but it just wasn't a place I'd go back to. The first 5 minutes of our visit really killed the entire evening.
