Momofuku Ma Peche - New York

We were told that the restaurant would be closing in 2 weeks. Despite this, we tried some fantastic dishes, like the wedge salad. There were a few items that were not as good, but overall we had a pleasant dining experience.

WE WALKED OUT!! MASSIVE SERVICE PROBLEM!! After 20 MINUTES, we finally ordered drinks. They were terrible. We sent them back. Bartender argued, claiming drinks made correctly (an everyday drink)! If bartender was right, (SHE WASN’T) why not just redo them? Waiter reports argument to us, says “Beverage Coordinator” was coming. Beverage Coordinator arrived as we were leaving. I said I didn’t need Beverage Coordinator to discuss an everyday cocktail, and I was furious at the service. On way out, I looked back to see Beverage Coordinator giving waiter earful. She clearly recognized the issue. To be clear, I have been to the restaurant before, with about 15-20 people, and all was awesome. UNACCEPTABLE SERVICE THIS TIME!!!

Last pass before we left nyc. Chicken was the best!! Steak tartare is a definite to get!!

Well..... what can I say. From the minute we walked in it was welcoming. “Emily” was such a sweetheart and made sure we were taken care of immediately while waiting for our table. While waiting at the bar “Franklin” approached us and apologized for the delay... and comped our beverages. Such a kind gesture. We were then escorted to our table and “Jay” was ever so polite and delivered great service. The food was AMAZING...!!!

The servers at this restaurant need significant improvement as there was a lot of confusion, incorrect beverages, and other mistakes. Despite the food being passable, the constant apologies were tiresome. It would be difficult for me to consider returning to this establishment anytime soon.
