The Omnivorous Fish

Well said. The Union Square Cafe is a wonderful place for both a casual meal as well as a intimate dinner. The only thing I will disagree on is the service. I agree that once you get the servers attention that the service is good, if untimely. However, sometimes getting thier attention can be a challenge. It all depends on how you are approaching your meal. If you head out there with time to spare and in search of a languid pace to your meal, which ideally would be most meals, then this “feature” of Union Square Cafe is perfect. If you are in a hurry or have a limited time (for example an hour for lunch, head elsewhere. This has never affected my coice of eating there. It is a frequent spot I choose for a delicious meal and really, isn’t that the primary reason to choose a restaurant. I will put up with a lot of mediocrity in other areas if the food is excellent.
