Betty — it is open b/c I ate there this morning — GREAT food but will wait to go back for several weeks as they seem to be overwhelmed by the response. We were there for 2hrs, 24 minutes from the time we walked in the door (greeted by the lovely Matthew Darling!) to when we paid the check. Matthew said there was a line down the block when they opened this morning and he was not seating the hightop bar tables like he did yesterday b/c it took over an hour to get the food out yesterday — unfortunately it was well over an hour today, too. Small children were melting down despite the crayons and activity books.
I only went 1 time to the old place but was overwhelmed by the smoke and smell (from the crappy exhaust system discussed here by many) so was so looking forward to a new place — truly hope they can get more help in the kitchen as they seemed to have plenty of waitstaff, coffee staff and hostesses etc…. it was just took FOREVER to get the food out.
