  Nice bi-level space that gets absolutely packed. I went here on a burger crawl and got a seat at the upstairs bar with about 6 other friends. I really enjoyed the burger and the super thin fries, but the burger wasn't the "best ever" despite others raving about it. The decor was super cute, the service was OK (not the friendliest) and I'd return for a full meal that wasn't a burger, just because I've already had it.

  The food was good, and the place was packed. I liked it, didn't love it (a little over-hyped). I really wanted the burger, but it wasn't available that night. The service was amazing, though. The waiters were all very helpful. One thing that drove me insane: stools as chairs! People with back issues would not be able to eat here.

  Why one star when this place gets so much hype? Well let me explain, and to preface this review, I was raised by chefs and have been to many of the best restaurants in the north east.
  
  I'd like to start out by saying that the host and server were both excellent. Our server was warm, friendly, knowledgeable, kind, patient, and attentive. She tried her best to work with the kitchen for me but they were sadly, extremely unwilling to cooperate. We left her a very good tip because we knew none of the issues we experienced were her fault.
  
  My partner and I, who have eaten here twice cannot eat dairy. We found out very much to our disdain that the chef is extremely unwilling to alter any dish for people who cannot eat dairy.
  
  Now I understand not to ask for a dairy free calzone or pizza but we eat out probably 4 nights a week and 99% of the establishments we have given our business to have always tried within reason to accommodate the quite common dietary restriction of not being able to eat dairy.
  
  They will not serve you a burger without cheese, in fact the waitress told me they won't even serve it without fries as many people ask for vegetables instead of fries.
  
  I was told that if I wanted a dish without cheese or any other dairy component I had to order the entire dish and scrape the cheese off myself or simply order the whole fish entree and not eat the components that contain dairy...... Seriously? Maximum snobbery has been achieved.
  
  They will not serve any entrees that come with dairy components without the dairy. Example: I wanted to order a fish entree that had some parsnip puree and cumin carrots. The parsnip puree had heavy cream in it, so I asked for extra carrot and no puree. The chef refused! They also would not remove any other dairy components from any other fish entree, so I was literally only left with one option, skate, which did taste very good but the portion was quite skimpy.
  
  Our bill for food and cocktails for two skinny guys was about $175 before tip. For this price, or even at any price really, we would expect management to be more friendly to customer requests and less pretentious about refusing to alter any of their dishes to fit dietary restrictions. The food quality is good, but the level of snobbery from the management here regarding refusing to alter dishes is downright rude, terrible customer service. Thankfully our lovely waitress made the experience enjoyable, if I could rate her separately I would give her 5 stars.
