    The Place was empty and the food was below average. We had difficulties communicating with the waiters. Portions are really small, even for sharing and quality is below average. The positive thing was the AC during a summer heat wave

    This place is a total mess! We went thinking they were serving Puppy Brunch when we got there the hostess was very confused and said they dont do that BUT they have it advertised on their website. Food was awful and service was terrible! Dont waste your time or money.

    horrible service. menu online isn’t accurate to what’s available at the restaurant. the rudest waitstaff you’ve ever had. i don’t know what their problem was, but they were hurrying us and another table out of the restaurant even though it was nowhere near closing. my friend asked to keep a menu and the server snapped back with “you have one”. just so rude and mean. go across the street for better food.

    The restaurant was right next door to sleep no more which was very convenient. Our waiter/bartender was very friendly and accommodating/fast service . They were all out of many items but we had the calamari , burger and salad which were delicious!

    This place was so cute, great vibe and good food and drinks, cannot wait to try it again on a random day because it's sort of a random place with great charm and good service.

    The food was fresh and tasty, just what we needed for a late lunch. The service was fantastic, incredibly welcoming and great suggestions around the food and drinks.

    Seems like a hotel restaurant, with a bit of a confused menu- mostly small plates

    We had Father's Day brunch at HOWM - the food was fine, nothing memorable, but the ambiance was really lovely - we sat on the rooftop and it was quite beautiful and quiet. Very close to the Highline, which was a plus for an after-brunch walk.
