I fully disagree with the sentiment that you can only enjoy it once. I love sitting at the bar and eating as there is always a friendly conversation just waiting to be had. The waitstaff is always VERY friendly to me and my friends and family. I've never had a problem with attitude. It's a lively, hip, positive crowd and there are a good mix of people to be found at all times. The food is perfect every time. Great Food Great People AWESOME bar Lovely waitstaff.

Following visits were less satisfying. If you get a nice waiter, then its a decent experience. Most of the time you will run across waiters who are trying to make rent and spend too much time judging, regardless how much of a tip you leave them. Food is alright. Lamp is good. Service is rotten. Look out for silly waters with attitudes and very little skill. My recommendation: Tip only the standard. Tipping more will not get you better service the next time around. Nopa should be called Nope. Service is like being at the DMV. Nopa is OK if you go there for the fist time. Following visits were less satisfying.
