"Neir’s has been on my list for many years. We mainly wanted to go for its historical status and because it was used in filming Goodfellas. So now I’ve been and I think once was enough. It really deserves its landmark status and I’m glad it was saved years ago from closing. But, the food was average and the service a bit lacking. Forgive me for expecting my appetizers to come to my table before my entree. But much to my dismay,our entrees came first with the apps following about 8 minutes later. When I asked our server what happened the response was that she put in the order all at once. The next excuse was a mix up in the kitchen. And the last excuse was miscommunication. But between whom. The kitchen and wait staff must surely know their menu and understand the order of starter versus entree. Might be a small issue to some but it is part of service that is expected. I’m sure it is a neighborhood gem for the regulars and I’m glad for those who enjoy it. But for me, between the disappointing service and the mediocre food, once was enough."
