| - This review is more about the service than the food.
My wife and I stopped in after a movie and decided to sit inside. We got a waiter who seemed like he had given up on EVERYTHING, including personal appearance. Most servers smile and have at least some enthusiasm when they say hi. This guy didn't say anything other than "can I get you something to drink" in the flat, uninspired tone often heard at the DMV just before closing time. Anyway, we noticed the same tone toward his other tables; not very welcoming and he should have taken the day off. We dubbed him "Mr Sunshine" and wished we had gotten one of the cute smiling girls instead."
Anyway, we ordered a hummus app which arrived in a decent timeframe. We had also ordered the sausage pizza but I'm pretty sure we got one with what we thought was the gyro meat (lamb?) Maybe that is their version of "sausage" but it seemed incorrect. On our bill it said "sausage and pepperoni pizza." No pepperoni was ever found. On the plus side it turned out to be really good so we chose not to bother Mr Sunshine about it, lest we push him over the edge. Seriously, though, the pizza was fantastic.
Anyway, our waiter had mastered the art of doing the absolute minimum. Even his "thank-you, goodbye" lacked sincerity and eye contact. Maybe he had gotten some bad news before his shift or something; we cut him slack but tipped only about 15%. I'm usually a 25% tipper when the service is great.
On another note, the popular flaming cheese really smoked up the place. In the first 15 minutes we saw 3-4 mini-infernos inside the restaurant. The smoke was so thick and noxious I thought I had come down with both emphysema AND cataracts. I hope the employees aren't developing cases of "black lung."
Still, we'll go back sometime and sit outside; hopefully on Mr Sunshine's day off.
