"Usually I really love The Copper Onion, but I had one of the worst lunches I have ever had today. I hate to spend money on horrible experiences, so I am writing this in hopes that they get better. The server obviously forgot to put our order in as we saw many people order, eat, and leave before we ever got our appetizer, so that was frustrating because we stopped in for a quick lunch. She ran over and said sorry the food was taking so long, but I have worked in this industry, so it was obvious that she or the kitchen overlooked the order. We were sat in the far northwest corner of the restaurant which was fine until they sat a party of 4 next to us and I felt like I was watching the 4 of them eat since I was facing them, fairly uncomfortable. All the other tables were open at that point, but for some reason they put them right next to us. We ordered the fried artichoke hearts... some were prickly and their oil wasn't turned up high enough because they were soaked in it. I also ordered a goat cheese salad with chicken... the goat cheese was cooked properly, but the lettuce was swimming in dressing and the chicken had a spice that resembled dill pickles... off putting with goat cheese. Just a thought: Goat cheese balances well with something sweet... port soaked cherries, apples etc... the salad is so basic and then pairing with that spice on the chicken was awful. Sometimes restaurants do so well for quite a while, then they get too comfortable and everything starts to take a turn for the worst. Hopefully this bad experience was just a one off... we will see."

"A real tragedy. One of my favorite places when we moved to the neighborhood, reduced to an absolutely below average watering hole. The food used to be great, clear and transparent pricing, changed to decent food with gimmicks and no transparency. Ordered their weekday special which was a sandwich and a choice of accompaniment. Delivered to my table as a half sandwich with a few potato wedges. At $15 I 'd have paid the extra $5 for the full sandwich and left the lackluster wedges why not just tell us this?The beer no longer having a happy hour, and the choices not as good as they used to be. Why would I come here anymore when there is Beer Street South, Hops Hill and other incredibly solid places offering better options? I used to bring people here, and considered it a 5 star, solid, solid venue. Now it 's cheaped out, while raising prices that don 't justify the options. Went to the Williamsburg location to try that also, and my wife and I couldn 't believe they have rat traps around the booths. I get it 's NYC and rats are here, but come on. I 'm as sad writing this review as the food and overall experience is. I also read the reviews to try understand the decline, and I fully expect that I 'll receive an aggressive and unprofessional response from the owner to this review. Consider it constructive, and work on what the criticisms are that seem consistent in the last few years. Other businesses are flourishing please for the sake of the neighborhood fits this before it 's too late."
