"Our waiter was nice, though I can't recall his name. When we were seated, the hostess placed a group of regulars behind us, and the waiter immediately recognized them. Before we could even place our drink orders, their drinks and chips with salsa were already on the table since he knew exactly what they wanted. Good for them. I ordered my daughter her usual cheese pizza and fries, while I got the burger with fries and a triple portion of chips and dip. After waiting for a bit, our food arrived simultaneously with the appetizer. The waiter apologized and gave a well-timed excuse about a delay with the white queso. Now, about that burger. I should've checked it carefully before digging in, especially since I've had issues with food here before, including finding a hair in my meal last time. I watched my daughter eat her pizza, which looked a bit doughy, but she didn't seem to mind. On the first bite of my burger, I wasn't paying much attention, but by the second bite, I realized something was wrong. Sure enough, it was completely raw in the middle (see attached picture). A few minutes later, the waiter returned to ask how everything was, and I showed him the burger. His priceless expression and reaction of "holy cow" were quite the sight—definitely no pun intended. I told him I would just take my daughter’s food and pay for the chips and salsa. He offered to take care of the burger, saying "let me decide this for you," and I agreed as long as I could get everything to go. Then, the overly cheerful manager arrived with a rehearsed apology and an offer to make things right. About five minutes later, the waiter came back and awkwardly mentioned the manager's name. He stumbled through an explanation about how she charged me for the burger, claiming he didn't want to involve her because he knew she would do that. Lesson learned, folks."

"Tea Sympathy is a super cute and cozy place in the heart of the city. They have delicious foods, both as a full meal and for a quick bite that just melt in your mouth. Speaking of yummy melts, the scones and desserts were absolutely great. The only critique about the desserts is that they can be a little on the sweet side, the too sweet side. The service is quick, but never rushed. My boyfriend and I got lucky going in at a not-so-busy time, which allowed us the ability to truly enjoy our food and take our time. We booked a reservation for an Afternoon tea for 2 at 12:30 pm on Valentine's Day. At first glance, it doesn't look all too filling until you start to dig in. It came as a 3-tier tray, with 4 tea sandwiches of your choice (we had: coronation chicken, egg salad, chicken salad and a watercress, tomato, and cream cheese), 3 scones with clotted cream and jam, and lastly 3 desserts (we got Victoria Sponge cake, toffee cake, and a strawberry frosted vanilla cupcake). It also came with two house-shaped teapots, enough for 3 cups each. I got the rose petal with black tea and my boyfriend got vanilla mint and both were really good. Overall, we were very happy with the food and service. We will likely come back another time, but with friends. Be sure to make a reservation to be certain you will get a seat and be sure to get there on time because this place fills up quick due to its small size. They accept walk-ins! They also take card but be aware that there is a card charge and it can be a bit on the pricey side. I want to say the value matched the amount of food we got, but then again it is NYC, so you are bound to pay those prices whether deserving or not."
