I have only ordered delivery from here and have constantly had the worse customer experience, yet time and time again, I find myself reaching for their damn menu and calling for them. Why? Because the food unfortunately is tasty, But Damn.. they could work on their service.
The woman that picks up is rude and talks bluntly fast and curt.
and I have the worst time understanding what she says too (granted she has horrible accent)

Yesterday was finally the fricken straw. We ordered lunch and 2 hours later, they decide to show up.
F*CKIN AYE I can't Believe it! We're starving and it's been two hours.
It finally gets here and they let us pay half off. so we do.
Im annoyed, I'm eating and I'm thinking to myself.. I will never order from there again.

Funny thing is.. this has happend before and I always find myself reaching for their damn menu...I'm glutton for punishment when it comes to tasty food ai....
Can I be saved????
So.. Spice anyone?  
I SO need help...

* 04/16 Edit* Ok Ok, SO I HEAR it's so much better to just go to the restaurant and eat there. Their delivery service SUCKS BIG TIME. OK PPLE DONT ORDER DELIVERY HERE or you end up like Moi! GRRRRR
ok ^_^

I did not have the pleasure to do the tasting menu, instead did the 3 course meal.
Appetisers were amazing. Explosive in flavor. Beautifully presented where I resisted the urge to flash out my camera phone and get all touristy on the restaurant and take pictures of the plates, Yes, My name is Bianca Lam and I take pictures of my food.

Entree- eeeh.. Was not particularly impressed with it. Then again, I got the beef of some sort and my date got the deer meet. so.. they did taste relatively similar. The appetizors unfortunately got me all pumped up that my inner tourst was waiting for an extravagant, beautifully set dish, but yet was sadly dissapointed.

Dessert - Oooh..... Mouth Heaven.... Try the hot chocolate. you will not be sorry, I PRomise you. DUDE man it can even compete with Rive Gauche!! I swear!! ^_^ Even the presentation was beautiful. for both dishes were beutifully set.

ooh I get it Daniel Humm you purposey do that aye? Give me a Fabulous Boom and then..leave me wanting for more and then BAM! MOUTH HEAVEN BABY!!!

I like your style ^_~
*wink *wink*

Service was fabulous. I give them 5 out of 5. Attentive, polite, and very smooth with the moves. They even send a Brioche with you as you leave the restaurant, which btw is very tasty with espresso.

Go there ^_^ I can only imagine the tasting menu is far more superior than the 3 course.

I cannot believe that this french pastry place has not been given a review yet. I mean yummers. My eyes always get big when I come here and everytime I get anytihng here, I am reafirmed that food is definately the thing to choose over sex anyday, and I mean  EVERYTHING THERE makes me think that^_^

So come, try the espresso, the eclairs, especially the coffee flavored eclair. Try the other cakes and goodies they have there. Sit and people watch and imagine being in Paris sitting by the street watching people pass by as you enjoy your pastry making yourself happy knowing, people are missing out since you got something yummy ^__^ And maybe, just maybe you'll agree with me and decide, YES I CHOOSE THIS OVER SEX. THANK YOU ^__^

Ok yes, I'm pushing it but that should be enough to make you make the trek up here to try it and then... Thank me later ^___^

I came here for brunch with friends on a weekend. I have never eaten here for dinner so I cannot say. However the Brunch is Fabulous!

You have a large seletion of breakfast entrees to choose from like eggs benedict, omlets, 2 eggs, etc. you name it, as well as other pasta dishes to choose from and lunch entree dishes.

THE BEST part of this is that if you order anything from the brunch menu you get unlimited mimosas, belinis, champaign, wine, etc, whatever it is to go with!!! for 8 dollars I believe. Now How is that BAD?? THAt Win's IN MY BOOK

The waiters were friendly too and I have to say service was pretty good and attentive. My friend asked for a side order of eggs to go with her order and they turned it into another entry by adding salad and potatoes. WHAT?? HOW AWESOME IS THAT???

YEah.. I'm returning the next chance I get. Who's with me? Let's go get  belini's and such with our brunch ^___^

DUMPLINGS!!! AAAH ^__^ OH man am I happy that I was introduced to this place. Of course there is another one in Lower East side by the name of Fried Dumplings I think.

I am not a big fan of fried dumplings but to each their own. I come here about 2-3 times a week as it is close to my job. Their boiled (steamed dumplings are the best) They are SOO tasty and done so similarly to the way my grandma does back in HK. Only difference is the skin is a little thick but that's ok. Get the pork with chives in soup, or seafood dumplings.
Also they have Pork Vegetable bun Oh Mouth Heaven. ME Likes, Me Happy ^__^ YEs YEs

OH be warned, they dont take visa/card etc. Cash only. Also the one in Lower east side is 50% cheaper but the Union square one definately has more variety, which makes mouth happy, YEs yes.. ^___^

With that said, Dumplings anyone????

DUDE... The energy, is FABULOUS. You wanna see 1 two step, or 2,3 step or whatever step you learned, you'll see it.
People are dancing to a latin form of merengue, Salsa, Samba and you're just completely facinated. Don't be shy just make eye contact wtih a nice looking dude or dudette and kick up your heals as you're about to have fun attempting to dance to salsa or show off your skills, whoever you maybe, you are bound to have a fun.

I went there wtih friends after goign to Savalas and learned salsa and MAN I am itching to learn salsa now. Anyone know a good studio for that? ^__^

I have returned a few times so far and see myself going again, hopefully as I learn more about hte art of Salsa. LOVE IT ^_____^

Drinks are reasonable, the bartenders are friendly, and people are just happy. What more can you ask for on a weekend night?

I came here after going to"The Boat," which is about 2 doors down. I walk in and I'm surprised as I see the Woods to the left, wood ceilings to give the feel of being in a cabin, and pleasantly, there is a canoe in the corner just asking for you to pick it up to go down the river you imagined in your head.

All we're missing is some nature playing in the background with bird sounds and so forth to give way of the fact that we are in the forrest camping with nature. But no.. it's the theme. Drinks were cheap, ^__^. I ordered 3 vodka tonics, and 1 grey hound, grapefruit juice and vodka for those of you who don't know, and it only cost me 20 bucks. Dude.. can that get any better?

Suprisingly i was totally relaxed wtih my friends and the night was perfect as we felt like we were sitting around a pretend fire talking about god knows what because the next time we looked around, we realized time had flown and that they did a last call at 3:30am and it was time to really go home to our beds, not the camp beds, but real modern beds.

So the next time you want to go camping, with alcohol but not go into the cold, but live nostalgia for a bit, come to Camp ^__^.
You'll find me in the corner looking at the canoe pretending to warm my hands by a fake fire.

I'll return.

I have never been to this restaurant. I have ordered from here. 3 times so far to be exact and each time, I was in mouth heaven. Their Lad Nar, Fish cakes, entrees are sooo tasty and comfy that I just want more!

However.. I wouldn't exactly order their curry. Oddly enough I found it too watery and just not tasty. Which is odd cuz isn't Thai food's famous bit somehow revolved around curry? Hmmm.. maybe I should take my comfy butt over there and try the actual restaurant instead of being so lazy.. but comfort always wins.. Ai....

I  was here last Wednesday for the Absolute Vodka Party. Food was good, drinks were good and strong!

Now.. would I come back again for a regular night had it not been a party? I really don't know. Granted I did have a good time and everything was beautiful but is it me or am I just slowly getting jaded by all bars that I go to. I notice a bit of a same formula on a lot of the bars I've been going to lately, meaning nice, decore, creative drinks to tickle the pallet, and good food. After a while..what is there to make one go... Woah..? Unfortunately, If I had the answer, I'd tell ya.. but I don't.

So that's the problem I guess... I feel like I've seen a lot of these same type of bars except a different name and location. Service was very good though so A+ on that...

other than that...not much to capture my memory in a long term...
