| - With the help of Groupon and the positive review from Christopher G., the Husband and I checked out A Thyme For All Seasons last week.
Located in a catering space, there are tables spread throughout. When we walked in, we had our pick of tables and chose one in the far back.
The Husband chose the Cuban Sandwich "with Roasted Pork, Ham, Mayonnaise, Mustard, Pickles & Swiss Cheese" ($8.50). He was quite impressed and thought it was better than some of the other Cuban sandwiches he's had from Cuban restaurants. He particularly liked the sliced roasted ham pieces too.
I chose the New York Steak Sandwich "with Horseradish Mayonnaise topped with Fried Onions" ($8.95). I loved the thinly sliced fried onions and the hearty sandwich overall. The steak came out just as I ordered it to be - medium rare.
Both sandwiches came with seasoned fries which were very good! We'd order more fries as a side if we could!
Service - the waitresses were friendly but not the most efficient. Our waitress was very attentive in the beginning with getting our drink and food orders. But someone else brought our food out and no one came to check on us. It took a lot of waving to get our waitress back to ask for more condiments. The Husband was practically done with his sandwich before I could get their attention. (I also noticed other customers having to help themselves to the A1 sauce, ketchup, etc. since the staff weren't around.) There were at least two waitresses on the day we went and they were both near the front and didn't look back our way.
There was also a slight mix up with food delivery - A few minutes after we ordered, an appetizer appeared on our table. We thought it was a complimentary item but realized that it was quite a generous appetizer and I remembered seeing it on the menu. So we waved down the guy who brought it out to us and told him it wasn't ours and indeed, it was for another table. So, they definitely have to pay more attention to the tickets and the tables.
Another note, the busboy was a bit too anxious with wanting to clear our plates. The Husband was still holding his sandwich when the busboy asked if he was done so he could take his plate. (I was definitely still eating.) I get the feeling like you're being rushed when plates are cleared too quickly.
We did appreciate the chef coming out to every table to see how the food was, and that was one thing that we didn't have any complaints about at all.
Overall, the food was good and we purchased more groupons as a result. Those slight service issues can be overlooked with a simple and tasty lunch menu offered. There were no daily specials at the moment since the groupon special was running. They also offer a free appetizer with a yelp review, so we'll see if they still honor that on our next visit.
4.5 stars.
