Reply to comment by ousker in What’s the best place to get brunch this Saturday? Around PVD preferably. by Substantial_Eye_575

Then you’ll love how batshit crazy the owner is. Tldr search the sub for the history and read the google reviews for funsies. I got sucked in for a couple days over her last meltdown on IG.

Oh please . The food is great and the wait staff is great (meaning her staff never had her wait on us so don’t know). Don’t look at her IG then but it’s great food.

She shut down her restaurant because a kid said the food smelled and went on an IG rant. She changes hours/table availability based on her feelings. Employees have been vocal about her unreliability and mood swings. Some of the food sucks. She insults diners.

OP doesn’t need a stress headache when dining.

We’ve never had a bad experience eating there that’s the point. Working there sounds like it might be a different story (assume the same at rebelle then)?

I don't have an opinion about this place. But, why would you want to support an establishment if you think working there could be bad for employees? 😕

Why would you support a business that shuts down when the owner gets mad online? Do you think she pays employees when she has meltdowns? (she doesn’t)

Then come out and say that. Your original comment just complained about the social media and Google reviews for anyone tend to suck and either be perfect or horrible like yelp so I don’t trust them. Leading with that back story would have been more useful info. Is the situation the same at rebelle?

Why are you so salty about it? She’s a wreck. Of course her employees bear the brunt of her craziness. If you can’t connect the dots, that’s a You issue.

And yes her bagel business is also a hot mess.

I’m salty about it bc I said the food was good and the wait staff was nice and you assumed the back story was known and jumped down my throat. We’ve never had bad food and the staff has always been kind and friendly. All of that is still true. Knowing more about her being a hot mess is useful info but I’m not going to lie and say we’ve had a bad experience based on your take on social media. We haven’t.

Fair points. My bad, I thought it was generally known she’s off the rails.

Without having someone in the biz or spending lots of time on social media how would one know that? Genuine question. Side note / the blue cottage / how does that stay in business? Talk about bad food….. also fwiw all the “artisan” bagels can’t hold a candle to bagel gourmet. Closest thing to a real nyc bagel.
