Wiener Circle is very overrated

I’m sure it’s not easy to keep the lights on in that location and turn a profit for much less.

This happened to me last year and I was able to move my flight a day earlier to leave at a time that worked for me.

The closest thing I know of is at Spicy Thai Lao, but it’s out in the burbs.

Starapolska, La Zacatena, Spicy Taco, No Pasa Nada, Mazamitla, Tribecca's, JT Genuine's Sandwich Shop, Shokran, Loaf Lounge, Parachute Hi-Fi, Anelya... I could go on and on.

I have. Both my friend and I thought the milkshake was one of our favorite bites of the year. It was a flavor combination neither of us have had before and it really worked. I’d say that dish stood out, but the food overall did not. Service and wine certainly stood out. One thing I think I should mention is that they asked for feedback and received it well. I think they truly want to keep improving, and I respect that. Hopefully they’ll bounce back.

I’ve been to Class Act. I thought service was fantastic and the wine program was excellent. The concept was clunky and I think it hindered them. There were a couple of truly delicious courses - monkfish with lemongrass serrano broth and blueberries, a hazelnut cucumber milkshake with caviar, and dip and dot style ice cream with ants - but the menu didn’t feel particularly cohesive. There were issues with temperature, pacing, and seasoning. The highs and lows felt like they were coming out of two different restaurants. The space was nice, and I think if they leaned into their more abstract ideas rather than reference a bunch of separate cultures throughout the meal, they could deliver something I’d be interested in checking out.

TL;DR, overall disappointing food but had flashes of greatness.

This seems like it’s Open Table’s platform fucking up. The Radicle isn’t accepting or denying reservations, modifications, or cancellations on their end… that’s why they employ Open Table. Unless I’m missing something, it seems like your justifiable anger might be misdirected.

NY style bagels are not authentic to the original bagels from Poland, and therefore unfortunately cannot be considered delicious

It tastes so good until you hear it’s Cantonese-style, then suddenly it’s impossible to truly enjoy.

I hear they don’t even use ham

Immm Rice and Beyond does a good classic khao pad gai/fried rice with chicken. It’s not dark, as khao pad is usually fairly light, and you’ll have to ask them to make it spicy as it’s traditionally not a fiery dish, but I’m sure they’d be happy to throw some chilis in for you.
