Table 8
After several years of construction, the phallic, ultra-sleek glass oddity that is the new Cooper Square Hotel, would look more at home in South Beach than halfway between St. Mark's Place and where the CBGBs once reigned. Would Joey Ramone roll over in his grave at this reinvention of the Bowery, or just shrug and say party on? Inside, hot L.A. chef Govind Armstrong's anticipated Table 8 restaurant is finally open. It serves up a mix of seafood, small plates, and healthy, locally-inspired dishes in the buzzing, (sometimes overly loud,) main dining room. You can pre-game in the dark, stylish front bar, but don't forget to take the elevator up to the second floor for an after dinner drink. The striking interiors don't fail to impress, and the welcoming staff seems relieved to be under way. This is a definite potential hotspot.

Good Food HORRIBLE Service

Love the food and ambiance, but the service left me leaving as small of a tip as i have ever left. With a reservation we were made to wait 40 min before we were seated. It then took at least 10 min for our drink order to be taken and our water poured, followed by at least another 30 min for our order to be taken. Mind you after waiting for close to an hour and a half for food, we are starving and we weren't even offered bread. The waiter comes back and gives a mumbled reason, but has to take two of my girlfriends' orders again, because for some reason the kitchen doesn't have it, even though he supposedly entered it. So we wait even longer for our food to come. Finally, when the food arrives, we have to ask for the bread that never came, while trying to put one of the dishes on the table it plops down and breaks in front of my friend, the under surface of my bowl was dirty, and never once during the meal were we asked how are we doing, can i get you another glass of wine. yes folks, we ordered our first glasses, and they remained empty all night long. and where was our trusty waiter... who knows. By 10pm the restaurant is for sure no longer crowded like at 8pm and still our waiter never stops by. not even an apology. you'd think that after a few weeks of a soft open, they'd have better service. good luck if you try to eat here. I'll never go back.
