How can I tell I am enjoying myself? When an avid carnivore such as myself comes out happy after picking on the beans and vegetables on this planet. The portions , for such a thin clientele, are large. Someone mentioned the attractiveness of the staff and that would be a fair statement. ( Then again anyone with purple anything and Flogging Molly shirt had me at hello to begin with:) Quick service, drinks filled quickly. I had the black bean burger with roasted red bell pepper, mixed greens, tomatoes, cucumbers and onions on a 12-grain bread, served with blue corn chips, pico de gallo and garlic new potatoes. Really good bread, didn't get soggy or fall to bits prior to finishing it off and the price was close to what you end up paying subway for their " high end" sandwiches The appetizer isn't really rated since dolmas have such a wide range of ingredients , like pakora, you often don't know what you're going to get. It's not that these are bad, they just have a consistency that's too close to a couple of foods I really hate. The tsatziki and pita though I can happily recommend as being really good for the former and good enough on the latter. Decor, great apart from the ceiling which would appear to be the surplus left over from the diners. It's just odd to have such a well put together floor and sides , add in a great big mirror above a waiting area with fireplace and then reflect this gaudy embossed carbunkle back at us as if we hadn't had enough:). ( didnt' affect rating but I'm convinced it's not helping the relative noise level of the place at lunch time)

They serve Arbuckle's cofffee!!! The pancakes, biscuits, and potatoes are top notch.

Classic food vs service. Food was great. Service not. Had to seat myself then wait five minutes to be approached. Bartender didn't know how to make a drink and told the server "No mixed drinks". That's a waste of a good liquor license. Then complained loud enough to be heard when she tried. Supposedly she was a co owner. Sad. Probably family. That's all for now.

The reviews about poor service seem to be accurate. Sign said "Seat yourself" so I did. Lots of tables with "Table closed" so I sat at one that was empty. Server #1 completely ignored me and I waited about 10-12 minutes until a server working a different section came over. As I still sit here, server #1 will not make eye contact with me. Should have checked Yelp before I seated myself. Still tipping Server #2 well for getting my order to me inside 5 minutes once she came over to help me out. Don't eat here unless there is no other place to eat.
