text: We had two very different experiences at CafepinonnThe first visit was great My daughter and I were somewhat pressed for time as we had movie tickets so rather than order a whole salad we decided to share a Nicoise salad The salads had already been split in the kitchen when they were brought to the table and they were great Tasty tuna huge capers small green beans and pieces of potato etc They had been carefully prepared and were tastefully presented in two bowls The service was friendly and the food came out of the kitchen quicklynnWe were so impressed that we went back two weeks later My husband came with us This time we were not under any time constraints and were prepared to linger a bit One of us ordered a glass of wine Unfortunately it was served in a small unattractive glassnnMy husband ordered the Grilled Chicken Sandwich which was excellent We also ordered their Homemade Bread which also was excellent although they charge for it My daughter and I ordered the same Nicoise salad nnImagine our surprise when only one salad was brought to the table on a plate We had again opted to share the salad and had assumed it would be split in the kitchen the same way as it had been on our first visit When we commented our server told us the salad could not be split in the kitchen When I said we were just there two weeks earlier and the salad had been split in the kitchen she said she got into trouble for splitting it the last time and had been sent home Regardless I reiterated my request that the salad be split but my request was denied Instead another smaller plate was brought to the table and we were left to muddle through the sharing process on our own Frankly the meal was ruined before it begannnIt is noteworthy that there were only two or three other people in the entire restaurant and the kitchen could easily have taken the time to accommodate our request but for whatever reason chose not to or someone a manager or possibly the owner told them not tonnNo one said thank you or goodbye when we leftnnNo restaurant especially in the current economy can afford to be this cavalier and inflexible as far as its customers are concerned There are simply too many other restaurant choicesnnFinally their prices are somewhat on the high side The Nicoise salad and the Grilled Chicken sandwich were eachnnAlthough we loved their food under no circumstances would we ever go back In fact we could not wait to leave
