over rated; great location but no great food; they need to cater more to the customers already sitting down than paying more attention to the people coming in More

Stopped in with our 3 teenagers and everyone enjoyed their food including our vegetarian daughter. Service was very good and friendly but, what we liked the most was that we could be casual and not dress up yet still have a "dining" experience. I recommend this restaurant if you are in the Union Square area. More
