3. It's about time! The last meal I had there--nearly a year ago--ended early when I found a large roach in my rice. Granted, it was dead, but I didn't order steamed bugs for dinner. And the worst part was, it didn't seem to shock or stun the wait staff, nor did a manager come over to apologize.

This place should basically be gutted and reopened as something else, because I don't think I can ever eat there again.

6. That place always 'felt' nasty, I didn't eat the food there and drank beer from a bottle.

7. This couldn't have happened to a nicer group of people. I used to be a big fan of the Newsroom. I would eat there all the time. I'd sit at the counter and do a soup and salad lunch while I thumbed through a NY Post. Their grilled artichoke was to die for. One day, my wife and I got a to go order and when we got home she noticed the artichoke we ordered was really small. It was laughable small so she called them up and complained to the manager. The manager said there was nothing she could do because artichokes were out of season. She wouldn't comp us or make good the next time around. She was very arrogant about the whole episode. We stopped going there. I do miss that chicken burger of theirs though. Hopefully, there wasn't any vermin grinded up in that patty.

9. It's good enough for celebs... I don't see a problem here.

10. Not surprised and Karma finally caught up with them. The customer service stinks - the attitudes at this place stinks even more. The owner doesn't care about anything but money. I hope people learn a lesson from this...they are ONLY CLEANING UP BECAUSE THEY GOT CAUGHT. That place has been dirty since it opened. The last time I ate there was the last time I would ever eat there. It will happen again with the Newsroom. STAY AWAY.

12. Just goes to show that just because a celebrity hangs out there, doesn't make it good.
