My friend lives in Chelsea and we go to the Moonstruck all the time. We thought for a change we’d try the Empire – bad idea! We were condescended to the whole time. I asked for a Diet Coke – oh sorry, they only have regular. I asked for Splenda – oh sorry, not only do they not have Splenda, they don’t have any sugar substitutes – only the real thing. I heard another customer ask to have her omelet made with EggBeaters instead of real eggs – oh sorry, we only do it with real eggs.

This is clearly not the place for someone who is health-conscious. The piano player was also obnoxiously loud, the staff was rude, and I’m sticking with the Moonstruck from now on.
