Review content:
My sister, who lives in the building above Mojito, made a reservation for my family (6 of us) to have an early dinner (5pm) on Mother's Day. When we walked in, there were plenty of patrons eating, but also plenty of empty tables. It was hardly crowded, especially by New York standards. The host, some guy with a ""my sh*t doesn't stink"" attitude and a kangol cap on (really hip, buddy - how very Brooklyn of you), leaned against the bar, barely glanced our way, and told us we'd have to wait. When my sister pointed to several open tables and asked if we could simply sit in one of those, he explained that they were expecting a party of 20 and we would still have to wait. When she asked how long, he replied ""I dunno....an hour?"". When she asked ""even with a reservation, we have to wait an hour?"" he then turned to the women sitting at the bar and said ""you see what I have to deal with?"". My sister, who was mortified, thanked him for being so unaccomodating and we turned around and left. What a lovely experience for my family. We wound up walking about 10 minutes up the street (not an easy feat for my mother, who has MS and is disabled - did I mention it was Mother's Day?) and ate at Chez Lola, a MUCH BETTER restaurant with a lovely waitstaff and we wound up having a great time, thankfully. Later that evening, my sister went back and complained to the manager, who didn't do anything except offer a lame apology. The staff at this restaurant is probably the rudest I have ever come across, having lived in New York City for the past 4 years, and no one I know will ever be going back to Mojito ever again. Stay away if you like good service and people who don't have huge sticks up their a$$es. Not worth it.
Pros: Nothing
Cons: Rudest staff I've ever met. No food or drink is worth putting up with them.
