Cornelia Street Cafe

I've never had worse, or ruder, service, anywhere. Be warned, stay away! (Oh, the food was terrible too).

    I went to hear some friends who were playing
    downstairs and was incredibly disappointed by the
    waitstaff and their friends who hung out smoking and
    making LOTS of noise when everyone else there was
    trying to listen. I won't go back there again.

      Sure, the food is bad. But I've got to disagree with
      you about the service. I think CSC is a great cafe, bad
      restaurant -- I love to go there and listen to the
      poetry readings downstairs, drink a cup of coffee. It's
      a beautiful space, and I've only ever had friendly
      service. (Though I don't know if the same waiters do
      dinner as do the downstairs cafe.)
