Lovecraft - New York

The food is excellent and reasonably priced at this restaurant. The quirky atmosphere and the opportunity for good people-watching make for a unique dining experience, especially when the front windows are open.

I had made a reservation for 8:15 on Sunday, November 5th through OpenTable and was confirmed for that time. However, when I arrived at the restaurant a little after the reservation time, I found that the restaurant was closed. The chairs were up on the table and there was a staff member mopping the floor, even though their posted closing time on Sundays is supposed to be 12am. This was 3 and a half hours before their supposed closing time, which was quite disappointing. My boyfriend and I were both looking forward to dining here as we are huge Lovecraft fans. Unfortunately, we were left disappointed when we arrived and found that the restaurant had closed for the night. After this experience, I don't think we'll be attempting to dine here again, as it left a bad taste in our mouths.

Lovecraftbrunch was the worst brunch experience I have had this far in life. We had a sweet and attentive waitress but that 's about it. We ordered chicken n waffles and the waffles were off brand ego frozen waffles (no exaggeration) with three pathetic chicken drummies barely fried. Also the side of bacon was very scarce given it was $5 and the truffle tots we 're just frozen tots heated up not truffle at all. This was basically a step below cafeteria food. ON TOP OF ALL THAT... This was a pulsd deal for $45 (worth $94) *laughs* and the restaurant demanded that they had a deal with pulse for not only paying the voucher but also paying $5 in tax and a MANDATORY 20% of the $94 NOT the $45. The entire meal probably cost 15-20 to make in their kitchen and was very low quality. Nothing but a scam and unfortunate experience. Please avoid at all cost.

This is a case where the concept is fantastic, but the execution is terrible. A bar with a Lovecraft theme should not be playing top 40 music when you walk in. The food should not resemble hospital meals. The absinthe cocktails should not be disappointing. Don't waste your time or money here. You'll be grateful you avoided it.

I made a reservation for 8:15 on Sunday, nov 5 by opentable and was confirmed for this time. in restaurant somewhat later than the reservation time arrived, but thought it would not be too much of a problem to see how their published closing time on Sunday is 12 o'clock. the place was closed. like chairs on the table, the guy who locks the floor. 3 and half an hour before their supposed closing time. was really excited to go here as my friend and I are huge lovecraft fans. Of course, we were both very disappointed when we were there and they closed for the night. I don't think we're trying to go back, the whole experience left a bad taste in my mouth.
