So, having worked as a server, I can tell you that there are people that look at food servers with disdain and contempt and will never tip well and will always be rude. They are jack****'s and I am not one of those. So I am loathe to write a review that may hurt business for Meconi's, but this food was - simply put - bad.
The bartender was nice, the beer was Manny's - (so good) and the ham sandwich with marbled rye had stale bread and was profoundly tasteless. I should have complained but I did not - I was the only one there on a Saturday (11am) and I did not want get into the whole thing.
So, bad food, nice bartender, If I go again, I will steer clear of the ham sandwich and so should you.
