Hmm. Given the other reviews, I guess we are the only people especially privileged to have problems with seating. I don't dislike this place, but have found you need a lunch-time strategy to get in and out in a reasonable amount of time (e.g. drop two friends at the door while the third parks the car, one friend orders while the other is on reconnaissance to find a table). It ends up working out in the end as I have never received my plate in my hands, but eating here is not a leisurely lunch - not by a long shot! The food and drinks are good, but not worth the trouble of our "tag-team" effort. The best part (reason for going) is the adjoining book store, and so frequent when looking for a particular title or needing a gift.
