| - from reading prior reviews, maybe I stepped into the Mirror Universe and went to their TI buffet, where the food was great and the staff was evil. also, they may have been wearing goatees and putting new employees into the Agony Booth.
lunch was $16.50, and the food was all fresh and delicious. there was Asian food, sushi, pasta, cold cuts, pizza, Mexican food, south/southwest bbq, and a lot of desserts.
a sampling of what I ate:
custom mini-donuts - YEAH.
chicken-fried steak - YEAH.
flank steak - YEAH.
make your own tacos - YEAH.
tortilla soup - YEAH.
sweet mashed potatoes - YEAH.
I won't give it 5 stars because the staff was initially very rude to us. we had some friends who were supposed to come join us later, bringing our crew from 6 to 9 or 10, and they UTTERLY REFUSED to clear aside an adjacent table for our additional comrades, saying something about "stations" not being open. by "stations" I think they meant tables.
there were maybe ten tables occupied in the whole restaurant, so that is about 20% occupancy. WHAT THE CRAP, Mirror Universe employees? in the end it turned out that those additional people flaked out on us, so minus 50 points to them as well (ah, if only Yelp let you rate friends), but still, there was no reason for this behavior.
the guy who got us drinks was nice though.
so, in closing: food is worth 4 stars, staff is a 3; I'm rounding down to a 3. I'd go back, but would seriously consider giving a firm slap upside the head to an employee who gives me flak; next time I won't go right after my flight in. NEXT TIME THE FLEET WILL NOT EXIT HYPERSPACE SO SOON!
