Editorial Review for Papa Haydn East – by Sylvia Lindman
In Short
Compared to its sleek, bustling counterpart on Northwest 23rd Avenue, Papa Haydn East is quaint and relatively quiet. But the smaller, more discreet location doesn't deter people from driving across town for a slice of decadent triple-chocolate cake or velvety banana-cream pie. The menu features creative takes on contemporary and ethnic trends. Specials range from ravioli with black-pepper pasta to filet mignon with Italian spices to chicken breast marinated in apple brandy and mustard.

I haven't read the other reviews, but no doubt they're glowing. For once, the sheep are right, this place really is that good. Not just for the cliche cakes, which are nearly as good as they look - but dinners here are great, and i'm not one to be easily impressed with basic american fair on flair. Ingredients are superior, flavors are brilliant and well matched, lovely cooking is balanced for char when needed without a sacrifice to the crisp or fresh gods. Your staff will probably be either lovingly attentive, or irritated that you came - its about a 50/50 on what you'll get there. Unfortuantely it is crowded, and often with middle class riff raff chuttering about their sprog and puppies at top volumes, so i highly recommend a glass of vino or three before facing the crowd unless you have ready access to valium. As well, you'll need a helicopter to wisk you to the place unless you happen to live there; parking is an anectdote for the insane. So put in your earplugs, brush up on your sign language, cross your fingers for a good server and enjoy
Pros: food quality, lovely area
Cons: croweded, loud, no parking

Been a few times - never the best. Very slow service - very very slow! Food is bland. Last week - we had 4 different dishes among the group & all shared - all were boing - very little interest. Same with appetizers and salads. Also quite expensive - wine & food. However, good desserts. Eat elsewhere and share a dessert here.
Pros: dessert & location
Cons: expensive, bland food, slow service
