Honestly, and don't shoot me diehard bigmama group fans; This place was just ok.
First of all, the staff here are absolutely fantastic. Warm, happy to see you, kind with your shitty French (yes you). these guys are far and away the best thing big love has going on (well that and a great zip code). We got here early on a Friday, looking for a bite and a cocktail, aka the usual. We were seated quickly, and oh boy am I happy we were
Let me explain
Roughly 5 minutes after we sat down, the queue that this place is know for started to build. And build...and ..ok you get the picture. Now I want to make it clear that this line in no way shape or form changed our meal. We weren't rushed nor was anyone else. Our food took a while, but when it came out it got me asking myself..why. why the line? It was fine, sure , but worth waiting for? No way. Neither were the drinks we got (their belini Is a million times better than their Mimosa*). It's not that it was bad, I mean it was fine. But again, the queue and hype just didn't justify the burrata, ravioli, or pizza. All were ok, and if you're looking for a spot for a bite to eat you could do worse. if there's a line? Just don't , you can do so much better in this city.
