"Our server Shamil was the saving grace of this location. He was better than most servers in midtown and did his best to accommodate us. However, the restaurant itself is giving mixed signals on what they’re trying to provide as far as experience goes. The food was tasty, elevated, and we had no complaints. At the time we came in, while there were over a dozen people, only four others were customers. All of the staff was crowded around where we were sitting, having several loud intermingling conversations and one of their younger children was crawling on the floor underneath the barstools. We have zero problems with kids but it just seems like a weird message to send out to your customers when the restaurant seems to be geared to fun elevated. We were hoping for an intimate and modern experience but what we got was boisterous and uncouth. The place has potential, but is definitely less of an “experience” and more of a hangout."
