text: So by now you know we eat out a lot We eat out with our kids at restaurants probably more than any other family in LV Bagel Cafe is about a mile away so it is been another standbybut not anymorennFirst their breakfast food and sandwiches are still great That is probably never going to change But we do not go there for dinner anymore like we used to Maybe you do not order a steak at a place called Bagel Cafe but the last two times my wife wanted steak while the kids wanted Matzoh Ball soup and stuffed cabbage the steak was nearly inedible gristly thin not cooked evenly and I would hate to see the expiration date on the meat as it tasted pretty rancid I can almost picture a Gordon Ramsay discovers something disgusting Kitchen Nitemares moment covering his mouth over a trash bin after a tirade of expletivesnnWhich brings me to my other HUGE gripe about Bagel Cafeand it is not pleasant The bathroomsare disgustingnuff said Maybe it is a result of the huge traffic they get for morningbrunch and they simply cannot stop to checkclean the bathrooms during the day There is no excuse for disgusting bathrooms at a restaurant and probably no greater turnoff not to mention the health issuesnnClearly dinner is not their target meal though they still list many great specials at least the nights they are open past pm any day except SunTue I thnk To be fair the traditional NY Deli type items are still great yes I too love tongue liver whitefish and other hardtofind deli sandwiches knishes etc Bagel selection Fabulous The pastries still LOOK as good as ever but sometimes after bites I wish they were less sweet less BIG and tasted a little more special Matzoh Ball soup Excellent if you like the rich thick ultrabrothy variety that sometimes even have the layer of fatoil floating on top Now I happen to like that but todays finicky healthconscious diner may be immediately turned offand watch out for the occasional bone shard nnMy last gripe about Bagel Cafe The tabletops are too small Maybe I have a sense of false entitlement for comfortable seating but with the huge plattersize dishes and additional plates for sides they use a top with people even when are kids becomes a challenge in space planning and creative plate stacking OK maybe this gets people in and out quickerbut I have to note this here as a legitimate complaint The booths are slightly roomier but not much I feel like I am sitting in the back row of a Southwest with my seatback and traytable in their upright positionsnnI wish I could be nicer to this place The servers are friendly and fun and the kitchen staff often comes out and yuks it up with the clientele Maybe they oughta have someone also make rounds of the bathrooms too All this adds up to my first star ratingnnOh yeahsomeone else mentioned the cashiers YES I have had problems related to this also About years ago I saw triplicate charges coming through on my credit card about a month after dining here They resolved the problem by running credits through after the fact but I had to bring it to their attention Also if you watch your account like I do you will notice that they take FOREVER to clear your payment which is always an indication that their internal controls and policies may be lacking
