    Unfortunately we waited 45 minutes for our food, an apology wasn’t issued, and they didn’t do anything to check in on us. Such a bummer. :(I hope it was just an off day.

    We really loved the ambiance and the food! The one minor quibble we had was inside the music was too loud so we sat on the patio (which was fine and very nice! But especially during colder months, I'm not sure how much of an option that will be.

    I love B CAFE. Virtually no noise, good and reasonable food. Great hamburger, served on a delicious brioche. Good French fries. Very comfortable, easy neighborhood gem.

    This place was abhorrently bad. I am absolutely baffled and embarrassed that I took my father here. The mussels mightve been the worst I've had in my entire life. My dad was brought the wrong food and he had to chase down a bus boy to get it changed. My mussels were flavorless with raw onion and carrot. Not once we're we checked on. Had to chase down the waiter for the check. Hands down no contest the worst restaurant I've been to in nyc and I've lived here for 10 years.
