| - The food was good. But I will never go back.
I originally met up with a friend to go to Ghandis. I'd heard lots of good things about Ghandis, but I was really not prepared for how tiny the dining area was. Nowhere to sit. :( So my friend and I walked a bit east and found this place called 5th Elementt. We really wanted Indian and they had lots of empty tables, so we went inside...
It's fairly nice inside, though if you look closely it's a little shoddy bit of decor, and the menu was a bit sparse, which made me wonder... was this show on Restaurant Makeover recently...?
About the menu... it was sparse and completely different from the menu posted on the outside of the restaurant that made us decide to come inside. The prices on the inside menu are higher, and the choices are fewer. The waiter said, "oh, the menu on the outside is just our take-out menu." But we wanted the choices we saw on the takeout menu that weren't available on the inside menu... the waiter said we could have the items from the takeout menu, with a little snide comment, "but they are from the takeout menu." He couldn't tell us the price until we got our bill... $3 more than the price on the menu. He didn't even come by our table at all to check in.
Sooooo pretentious. The food was actually tasty, but I've had better, cheaper, and larger portions. For $17 I could get a bigger entree somewhere else. Oh well, the company was good. But I shall never come back to this place and that snooty waiter.
