Q: You want it to be awesome. You have this building sense of excitement as you walk the Grand Canal Shops, like when you were a kid running down the stairs on Christmas morning. Then you get there.....and it's all downhill from then on. Now I grew up with these bakeries on Long Island, it's more than red and white string tied around a box that's makes an Italian bakery an Italian bakery. Buddy....what happened???? I watched my wife wait an hour for her ticket number to come up, and she had only 25 people ahead of her. Yes, you think a 3 minute wait time per customer is good right? But not when you have 3 workers on the counter assisting! Not only that, the bakery service area is about the size of a small Starbucks. Yet right across the hallway is Buddy's signature restaurant, and not only is it absolutely massive in size, it's absolutely dead inside. I saw 3 four tops, 2 bored hostesses, and a line cook that probably regrets applying for a job there. Why in the world did you not make a massive bakery area and a cute cafe type dinner place is beyond me. Seriously, you have Mario Batali just down another hall, and that's good damn Italian food. You're a baker Buddy, you should have just stuck with that and made a killing with a large, quick paced bakery cranking out our East Coast patisserie memories. Not a closet bakery with a huge show window with a guy filling cannolis. Remember, a fish may love a bird....but where would they live? BTW, the cannoli was great for what you can get on the West coast...but barely on par what I can get at my old bakery out on the Island. OPTIONS:

Q: I've dined here three times, and each time was met with extremely slow service, which is disappointing as I've enjoyed the omelette, sandwich, and burger that I've tried here. I like the atmosphere... somewhat eclectic with the paint colors, the paintings and decor, but seeing kitchen inventory destroys the experience for me. Sorry, Orange Table, but I won't be coming back due to the terrible service. OPTIONS:
