Great, i love this place.

tasteless and gross, much like the owners

Bland food that tastes as if it’s been sitting in the fridge for weeks, and the wait staff operate like they don’t understand the basics of service.

Not sure how this place is still in biz other than maybe the other patrons, who frankly look more like illegal jihadists than New Yorkers.
