    The food was SO good but the service was horrendous. Our server didn’t check on us a single time when we were there for an hour and a half. Our appetizer didn’t show up (but it was on the bill), and they forgot about my husband’s entree so he sat without food for 10 minutes. The food took 30-40 minutes to come out which would have been ok had the appetizer not gone forgotten and had we all had entrees. If the food wasn’t so good we would never go back, but I’d try it again and hope the service improved. The French dip was insanely good! I hope they get it together because midtown could use this place.
