| - I chose this restaurant online mostly because of its stunning variety of menu options. An almost overwhelming variety of appetizers, salads, sandwiches, and even chicken-substitute options among other choices were appealing to my group.
When we arrived at about 6.30 on a Sunday night, there was a very long line which made me wish I had called ahead. However, we were seated within 10 minutes.
Our waiter clearly did not think that our 24-and-under table would tip well, a tendency that bothers me since I always tip generously for good service. He was rude and abrupt, especially when we declined to order alcohol. He even took my menu away before I was done ordering.
The food was brought out by a different server, and a pleasant smile and the shocking addition of a few kind words were a breath of fresh air from our server, who was anything but courteous.
The food itself was stellar. One companion had a grilled burger, which had excellent flavor; my sister had the vodka pasta, which was also delicious. My shrimp lettuce wraps were good, but tricky to put together and eat - I wouldn't order that on a first date or business meeting!
Overall: great ambiance and location, terrible service, and awesome food!
