Worst Dining Experience of My Entire Life!
Reviewed by: alicina, Nov 26 2007 8:59AM
I had the worst experience of my life here; ordered off the "specials menu" unwittingly a tiny little plate of risotto that cost $95! They need to tell you the prices if they are going to do this. It was terribly uncomfortable and embarrassing to debate this with the manager in front of my friends and they made me pay for it, adding insult to injury by tipping themselves with my credit card (adding $22 to the total--not standard practice for a party of 3) when I had not tipped intentionally because of the risotto fiasco. This was humiliating and really disappointing for such an "upscale" place. I thought places like that bent over backwards to keep their customers happy but not in this case b/c they wouldn't admit their mistake! I am never going back and will never recommend this place to my friends again either. In a word: Overpriced, Poor Customer Service, Snobbish

Crossing Town
New Yorkers divide religiously along East Side/West Side lines. But occasionally they are known to travel to the Other Side. If you find yourself in such an unlikely position, you might take a cross-town bus: they run along 66th/67th Streets, 72nd, 86th, 96th, and 110th. These are, however, some of the slowest buses in the MTA's roster, famously clocked at an average of about four miles per hour. So you might also consider walking, enjoying the park along the way, and grinning as you pass the bus unloading its charges.
