2.5 stars. Cut to the chase: Basically a super nice looking Coney restaurant, but still working out the kinks with service and the kitchen.
I have been slowly watching them put this place together for several months. It used to be a National Coney Island, but it appears they completely gutted the building and put a ton of money into the redesign. It is still basically a Coney Island restaurant, but the interior has tons of nice flat screens and even a fireplace. The booths were very comfy and the backs go pretty high, so toddlers can't peak over the tops and disturb neighbors. The staff was also super nice.
The big kinks came with the actual food. We ordered a kids grilled cheese and medium rare hamburger. I happened to text someone right after I ordered, so I had a pretty good gauge on the time. At well oiled restaurant of this style, I would expect food in 20-25 minutes. This place took closer to an hour, which I felt was just way too long. Also I was annoyed that I did not get an explanation. Also, I was with my toddler son, and at restaurants where they are used to kids, as this place appear to be, there were no cups with tops, nor did they offer to bring our my kids food first, which should have taken 15 minutes to whip up. When the food arrived it was good, nothing extraordinary, but good. That said; the fries were very good, as they were kind with a super crispy outside and well salted.
Overall, not the best first impression, but they showed enough potential for me want to come back. I will probably wait a few weeks to let them hit their stride.
