had the opportunity to go there in mid-february with a friend. it was freezing cold outside, about -25 celsius, but since this place has such a hype around it, we decided we wouldwaituntil we got in to understand what the hype was all about. we waited for approximately an hour outside, despite it being 2 pm.
one thing there is to know about this place is that it's tiny, even the seating area is tiny. they made us sit in an area in front of a window where we were next to each other and not in front of each other, which felt weird. if we were towaitfor a table, it could've taken 10-15minutes more. it's also very crowded, and in the winter, it gets fairly loud and hard to hear the conversation you're trying to have.
the food itself is good, but a bit overrated and overpriced. i'm eating a sandwich and a soup and i'm paying almost as much as a full meal at other restaurants. also, it's not like it was the best sandwich i've ever had for it to be priced that way.... so i didn't get that part. i had the mr. miami sandwich with the soup of the day (which i specified to remove cilantro from and i guess they forgot). i wasn't surprised or really excited about the food, but the desserts were delicious and totally worth the price. i've had a blueberry danoise and a latte.
the service was acceptable, they were very crowded so the waitress had a hard time going from table to table in a decent amount of time. it took 30 minutes to get the sandwich after we received the soup...
