We have a woman in our office from Australia and she brought back 6 packs of Dark Chocalate Tim Tams that we finished in 2 days. They were unbelivable. Keep them coming

I hear that NYCFG went to the Cottage a few months ago and was never heard from again. Apparantly he went went to the back of the kitchen to blow a busboy and ended up as the next day special – hence no posts in months.
RIP you gay, nip loving foodie!

I can see this. In my office we used to have cake and champagne for people’s birthdays (before the recession). I thought it was pretty weird at first, but it was really good with the right cake.

In the early 80’s I used to frequently eat at The Cottage on 77th street and it used to be a nice, quiet restaurant with very polite waiter/waitresses. Thus, I am familiar with this place. In the past ten years, however, it has become a “COMBAT ZONE” between clients and the staff. The staff’s attitude is, to say the least, ABUSIVE. Last time I was there, I observed a party of 6, where one of the guests asked for more wine and the waiter/waitress COMPLETELY ignored the request. After trying, at least, five times to get more wine, the client requested to speak to the manager. The response was shocking, the woman behind the counter yelled “There is no manager, period.” That was that!

While their food is good, I stay away from The Cottage since I am already aware about the staff’s lack of decency. I am afraid nothing can be done about these people’s behavior, except avoid the place.

It’s a shame the staff of The Cottage has created a toxic environment. However, what irks me the most is to think that this kind of behavior spreads.
