🤢 2/5 - Think twice about eating here

I live quite nearby this restaurant and my husband and I decided to try it this evening as something different. The waitstaff were very nice and the outdoor seating was just fine, though the music was stupidly loud. We started with frito misto, which was very good, and we both had decent cocktails. The trouble started with our entrees which were both tasteless. My husband's chicken was on a bed of the most unseasoned and bland sweet pea risotto and his chicken was almost aggressively overcooked, the thigh being even drier than the rest of it. I ordered the seared tuna which came to the table absolutely stone cold. The tuna was cold, the whipped potatoes were cold, the accompanying few brussel sprouts were lukewarm. The tuna itself was rare, the way I like it and had ordered it, but it was like eating cold shoe leather. But the kicker was when the bill came, they had added on a 20% tip without telling us...on a table of two. This is NOT New York protocol for a restaurant, and if you weren't paying attention you would have tipped again. When we talked with the maitre'd about it he was super defensive. Instead of wanting to know what was wrong with our dinners, he gave us a patronizing lecture about how HE thought, during the pandemic, that it was important to make sure essential workers were paid properly--making an assumption that New Yorkers were somehow not aware of this and would not tip appropriately. So, he managed to insult us as opposed to engaging in a dialogue. And then he said that, if we insisted, he would remove the tip and so we asked him to do that. We, of course, left a 20% tip as we always do, regardless of service, because we know that restauranteurs don't pay their staff livable wages. But it was OUR choice to leave that much of a tip, not the owner's choice. This review will, I'm sure, not change the popularity of this place and that was implicit in the way the maitre'd treated us. He knew that we didn't matter one iota in the success of the business and let us know that. But I just want anyone out there who has ANY interest in good food at a particular price point to know that this is a place to be avoided. Too bad--as neighbors, we were hoping for a new regular place!
