I've been to Cup twice, both times after visiting the American Museum Of The Moving Image right across the street, and have been impressed enough to wish I had a place like that in Williamsburg, where I live. Granted, we have similar retro-chic restaurants over in W'Burg, but few are as neighborhood-friendly (in terms of service) and as wallet-friendly (in terms of food quality). Cup definitely seems less of a diner than just a great hip neighborhood restaurant without the pretensions of a hipster joint. Service is efficient and super friendly, and the food is really great - I recommend the steak au poivre and buffalo chicken wings! It's a bit of a jaunt if you don't live in the immediate neighborhood, but I can't wait to be back.
Pros: Friendly service, Short waits for food, Retro-chic decor
