| - I really like the design and layout of this place. Plenty of seating at a wrap-around counter, some stand up space, and tons of tables of various styles and sizes. And each chair is unique.
I came here two days in a row with coworkers. The first day, I had the pastrami and swiss sandwich. It was okay. The bread was overcooked and had little flavor.
Came back the next day to give it another shot, this time opting for the salad bar. It was a little better but one thing I found here was just a bit odd. When you get done filling your salad bowl with the contents of your heart's desire, your salad is weighed and you're charged by weight.
So far, not odd at all.
But I had also filled one of those small, plastic "to go" mini cups with oil and vinegar for the salad. I was holding it in one hand while I handed my salad to the cashier with the other. She immediately reached out for the cup of oil & vinegar, saying "hey give me that, too."
I thought she was joking, and handed it over. She then dutifully placed it on the scale along with my salad and added "just keeping you honest, sir."
LOL
Okay that's fine. Not like it set me back much, but I really thought it was odd to insist on weighing a teaspoon of oil.
Food is okay, service okay. Chocolate chip cookie excellent.
[Hint: pocket the oil next time]
