The cruel disappointment of a restaurant that looks ugly enough to be great but delivers food that is completely, depressingly average. A mid-uggstaurant raises your hopes with its cracked vinyl booths and handwritten specials, teases you with the kind of ambiance that usually signals transcendent cooking, then serves you a plate so forgettable you want to demand a refund on your optimism. The aesthetic contract has been broken. You came for character and got cafeteria-tier execution. The ugliness was a lie.
Don't bother with that place on Fifth — total mid-uggstaurant, sad vibes and sadder pasta.
