As a fan of David Burke's neologisms, I was enchanted with this store-facade cafe when it first opened, but no more. Who wants crusty old, cold cheese popovers? Such a bread plate is a fitting prelude, however, for entrees that sound inventive on the menu and prove not very upon delivery. Service is sporadic and overburdened. At one point, having paused to rest our forks for a moment, we nearly had our entrees plucked away; later we stood, coated, as repeated requests for the check went ignored. At this price level, it seems reasonable to expect a little more in the way of politesse than that found at a Woolworth's lunch counter.
