First time to the big city, and I was wary of "rude new yorkers"- everyone there from the host to the bus boy was SO friendly! I even felt comfortable enough to pull out my map. Just planning on stopping for coffee and directions, but ended up grabbing some lunch. whatever you do, get the salad! i forget the name but it had chicken and eggplant, and a bunch of stuff, for like 10 bucks, in lower manhattan?!? check it out, but cafeful, they make some stronggggg cocktails...which i guess is a good thing :)

First time, phenomenal. Second time, great. Third time, eh. Yet, I know I'd still go back for dinner here, no doubt. Most times, you'll probably find creative entrees that simply please. Enjoy an early dinner and you'll enjoy the work of a fresher staff as well.

After seeing that this place had a 5-star rating and "good" music, I was quite curious to visit. Well, I met a friend there two Friday nights ago after work between the hours of 8-11pm and nothing special was going on. It seemed like an average place to have drinks and appetizers. I felt that the 4 piece chicken pastries served with a mint dipping sauce we ate were not worth the $12 we spent on them. We did take advantage of the happy hour that ended promptly at 7pm. I was disappointed in the music because I'd read that this place had a nice house music/ecclectic vibe. Not true. Something quite lame and mainstream was playing. But I give this place props for playing "The Wiz" (the black Wizard of Oz from the 70s starring Diana Ross and Michael Jackson) on its two large mid size screen TVs.

I heard raves about this place, so was looking forward to a great salad. It was OK at best. I think the kitchen filled a bowl with marinated chicken and just dropped some lettuce on top, because it took a sec for me to figure out that I had actually received the *chicken* salad I ordered. When it came time to use the restroom, I was unpleasantly surprised. The trash bin was filled to overflowing and there were tons of paper towels on top of the trash can and falling onto the floor. When was the last time the staff looked in?? Not appetizing at all. I'm going to have to pass on visiting this place in the future.

I went to Mocca with a friend randomly one night. I heard the coffee during the day was great, but was weary on eating dinner there. We got three appetizers and loved them all, especially the Veggie Quesadillas. The vibe is great and they had a good selection of wine. Very chill spot, great eats!
