Maybe it was because of it being post holiday but this definitely not the service of even last year. Tea there should be something special from the time you are greeted. It was not that and frankly a few of the people there had attitudes. Perhaps it's time to try tea elsewhere.

On this occasion, the greens in the chicken salad were quite underdressed, although the chicken itself was it usual very good self. The rock fish croquette sandwich was exceptionally salty and the apple slaw could not overcome the salt-forward impression of the sandwich. The service was good and all of the staff members were friendly, courteous and efficient.

The light that comes through the windows is cheerful and the waitstaff nothing but classy. The booth-like seating is comfy and decor is pleasant. I had the rockfish sandwich for lunch and devoured every saucy bite of it. Reserve a table in advance -- dropping in will be a long wait. It's a great place to do lunch on union square!

From the drinks arriving before the meal (so many places get this incorrect), to the consommé, to the popovers with strawberry butter, to the large portions of entrees, everything about this place is perfect. My mom and I split the burger (as usual) and it was great. They’ve moved from it being a single thick burger to two smaller patties. The pickles are beyond delicious. I left being like, this is where I want to have every birthday for the rest of my life.
