Going to a place and having perfect service, where you never need anything and always feel comfortable and they appear and disappear almost magically during your time spent, the courteousness...Ko pretty much lacks all of that. I've been several times and the girls pouring wine are polite enough or downright snotty depending on the day. The cooks rarely smile, rarely want to talk to you and almost always seem like they'd rather not be serving you. I've been fairly recently too, and you'd think they'd be used to this enough to more pleasant. I could understand this uncomfy stool/bar thing if you were to have an experience there due to the closeness with the chefs. Instead it feels like I'm watching them through glass like they're in cages. Or like we're in cages and they pass food to us now and then to keep us alive. Meh, I'll stick to Eleven Madison Park, Blue Hill, Perry St...where ever else I leave feeling like a million bucks...
