| - My poor rating for this restaurant was based mainly on the service...although the food wasn't that great either.
First of all, I loved the location and look of this place. It's located in this small but really fancy looking plaza- very unique.
I went on a weekend for lunch but did not make any reservations, so upon arrival we got the last table available, which was right by the front door. The interior was well decorated and I can imagine that it would be even better during the summer when the patio would be open.
So basically, we were not getting service AT ALL. We waited for almost 10 minutes until I had to call someone myself. I asked for water and the menu, which didn't arrive until I had to ask several times after (around 4 times).
Later, a lady came up to take our order. She didn't seem very friendly, as she took down our order without a smile on her face or any sort of recommendations.
I asked for the smoked salmon warm salad. The rest ordered the vegetable sandwich. While waiting they brought a complimentary bread basket to the table, which consisted of warm olive bread. It wasn't the best olive bread I've had but I did enjoy it, mainly because I was starving.
The food arrived in a timely manner but my salad was a tiny portion size and was pretty gross. It was soggy warm salad...which I should've expected as 'warm' was what they described the food would be, but I did not assume the 'warm' description would indicate soggy, wilted salad, with warm smoked salmon! I think smoked salmon should always be served chilled!!
The sandwiches were overflowing and looked odd to me, as they looked more like bread dumped with vegetables.
I think if I were to visit again, I will stick to the desserts and coffee, which looked good from their display case and had a lot of demand based on the people walking in just to buy cakes and pastries.
Also, I would suggest making a reservation if you were to ever go.
