Problem: I used to come here very regularly, but it's been a minute since I've been back to Pho So 1 and I have to say they have remained consistent. The food wasn't as good as I remembered but it was still really solid and service was on par. We were served quickly and our server was friendly. I haven't tried their pho recently but the vermicelli bowl was good and had lots of fresh veggies, which made it all the better.

Problem: Hi, I'd like a decaf iced Americano with a side of sorry I don't have tribal tattoos, gauges, and a pseudo-lumberjack beard. In all seriousness, though, Cartel is a pretty cool place to hang out and get school work done, despite the fact that it may be too cool for school. The environment is open, spacious, and definitely the kind of place where I feel like I'm paying three bucks to park myself somewhere conducive to productivity for a few hours, rather than for the actual coffee. You might as well say "make me a drink that's stronger than me," because that's essentially anything at Cartel. I'm sure it hurts so good if you're looking for a caffeine rush, but if you drink decaf, the high-intensity, bitter brew is basically like drinking an O'Doul's - neither effective, nor genuinely enjoyable. However, for the general college population, Cartel provides all the resources necessary to help you pound out that essay/assignment/tumblr post/article as seamlessly as possible.

Problem: When there on Sunday nite with my wife to have late dinner. I have been here before food is ok service was good but this time service was terrible , we sat there for 20 min no one showed up I got up and asked one of the girls in front for help and that didn't help, finally a waiter showed up to say hello and left as fast as he showed up. I say if they were busy Ok but they weren't. That's the last time I'm going to go there and would not recommended anybody to go there.

Problem: The wait staff was slow and inattentive; the bone-in rib eye was mediocre at best; the atmosphere was way too loud for a nice sit down dinner. We arrived on time for our reservation and had to wait 30 minutes before they gave us a 4-person table for our party of 5. We kept having to flag down wait staff and bus boys passing by because there was always something missing. First there weren't enough place settings, then not enough forks, then not enough plates when we clearly stated the steak was to be shared. After we finished our food it took us 15 minutes before we could flag down someone to bring the check. It was such an underwhelming experience we didn't even ask to see a dessert menu, nor were we offered one. The presentation of the seafood tower was great and the seafood was very fresh, which is the only reason I'm giving 2 stars instead of 1.
