 Worst Brunch Experience

We only waited a few minutes to sit down, but were not greeted by out waiter right away. When he did greet us he said they were out of ALL brunch items accept for eggs and omelets. He didn't come back for another 15-20 minutes to place our order. Our food took an hour to get to the table and the waiter did not alert us once to any kitchen updates or why the food was taking so long. We had ordered two omelets. When the food finally came, he didn't apologize for the delay. All of the food - eggs, bacon and potatoes were overcooked and looked and tasted as though they had been sitting out for a while. The waiter did not put any more effort than minimally needed to get us our food/see how we were doing. He also got one of the orders wrong. The check took just as long to get as it had to order our food. To say the least - not returning. Who is out of everything but eggs during brunch before noon?
Pros: Ambience
Cons: Service
 Great Food, Nice Bar Scene

Went out to this restaurant for dinner with my sister and really enjoyed it! We were a little short on budget but still have high standards and this one met them and exceeded! We shared everything that we ordered and the staff was very courteous about it. The butterleaf cashew salad was excellent, the truffled parmesan fries were awesome, (very big serving, and even better on oven reheat later that night!) and the asparagus ravioli was particularily memorable. It had a great bar scene but still very convenient and comfortable dinner seating. If anything was lacking it was the airconditioning. It wasn't too hot, but on a stifling day I wanted a little more than room fans.
Pros: Ambiene, Food
Cons: Air conditioning
ridiculously HOT waitstaff & bartenders

great bar scene with equally great food. service is comparable to most other good restaurants only the staff at HG is downright gorgeous - read: serious eye candy. thursday nights are not to be missed - get there early, it fills up quickly so if you get there before 10, you can secure one of the coveted high top bar tables and stake out your section before the rush.
definitely try the tuna tartare - best in the city
Pros: great staff, great food, great drinks, FANTASTIC music
Cons: no parking, gets crowded early
 Solid comfort food

The bar has a great vibe as it fills in during the weekdays with local doctors and businessman. The food is good, try the hamburger, its pretty good!

LOVE the HG for food and drinks on an off-night.
The menu is great, my only negative is that I have so many favorites, I rarely try anything new. There is tuna tartar in a martini glass with plum sauce, good bibb lettuce salad, delicious chicken salad, inventive pasta dishes that can come in half-sizes, creative pizzas, etc. Wine list is decent, and quite inexpensive. Martinis and special drink list is fun and reasonably priceD. It is a little too much of a scene on thurs/fri/sat, as a line develops out front by 10pm, but the rest of the week it is not crowded.
Perfect neighborhood locale for casual dinner and drinks!
