No reservations, O.K., we'll wait in the cold (it's a popular place). Fifteen minutes to get the waiter's eye for menus (they're busy at dinner time). Another fifteen minutes to place an order while the waiter keeps turning around to talk with another table (he doesn't have to turn very far). Specials? Sound great, but no prices given until asked. Good reason: they are almost twice the price of the menu items, the same price range as restaurants that take reservations, have good service, take credit cards and aren't doing you a favor by letting you eat there. We had a great potato tart appetizer and decently prepared main dishes (from the menu), nice dessert, and paid with cash. (Edited by I Saltz at 3:26 pm on Jan. 25, 2002)
