Although they did a great job with the atmosphere, unfortunately, the food was disappointing. Burger was extremely dry despite the fact that it was medium rare (maybe they are using meat which is too lean) and the mac n cheese was just not good. Short ribs were okay but nothing special. Now that Canteen is gone is NYC, not sure if a great mac n cheese exits. Tue Mar 22 00:59:12 -0800 2005 0 Cynic 1 369302 If you want great mac and cheese go to Violet in Santa Monica. I agree with you about Nook. Very overrated. I also had a dry, dull burger. The boiled peanuts they serve as a snack when you arrive are truly gross. Sun Apr 10 17:23:54 -0700 2005 367960 0 Mr. Eats
