I think this place has gone out of business – can someone get an answer from the folks in charge?

Wasn’t that bad or terribly expensive. Tried the truffle fries and I was able to taste a slight difference from the regular fires.

BTW, another really nice thing about this place is that they have a really good on-line menu that even lets you order without calling them. Kinda like seamlessweb, but you don’t have to give them your credit card number if you want to pay cash.

I agree that their food is hit or miss, but when I’m craving swedish meatballs, this is always a good bet.

Don’t get the beignets though; they’re awful.

I also highly recommend the Great Dane as well as the sweet potato frites with the Thai chili dipping sauce. I’ve only been to the one in Chelsea but it sounds like this one’s got more frites options so I guess I gotta check it out. :)

I work around the block from this place, and they have blatantly overcharged me on two different occasions, and I haven’t been there since. When they don’t overcharge you, their prices seemed ridiculously expensive for what it was.

Even when I did go occasionally, their service was abysmally slow.

Maybe I just didn’t understand the concept (which they make no effort to explain). Based on the comments, I’ll give them one more chance with a Great Dane and an order of those (admittedly delicious) Swedish Meatballs.

This place is the one that I visit too often . . . and offer the following: swedish meatball cup is my personal favorite for the reasons stated above. about 15 meatballs versus 5 or so for the sandwich . . . worth the upgrade. I also enjoy the fried fish sandwich (crispy, not too heavy, good tartar sauce, lemon slice adds nicely to flavor). steak frites nicely salted, a bit dry, but good overall. unimpressed with the chicken frites — mushy and rather bland. entree salads are also very good here. asian, buffalo chix, steak all tasty (although buffalo chix itself was dry and not exactly fresh last time i had it — been in the salad been a few too many days). The haricot’s are tasty — and they won points for running out to the supermarket to buy more when they ran out one day when I ordered. The dogs are all solid too. hard to go wrong if you pick the toppings you like. also, they do online delivery, which is helpful for those chained to a desk.

finally, is “looks awesome, but it’s far from me” a helpful comment to anyone? not hating, just asking. . .

They probably do use real truffle oil on the fries, but real truffle oil doesn’t contain real truffles (which explains its low price):
