| - Had lunch & dinner here a couple weeks apart and all I can say it's literally day & night!
Friday lunch - Came in around 11:30 AM and it was not crowded at all. I got to choose wherever I want to sit. The menu on their website combined the lunch (grab & go) & dinner (bistro) menu but the actual menus at available at the counter comes in 2 separate menu. So I order my pita at the counter and within 15 minutes they brought my food out to my table. But once noon hit, the restaurant started to fill up.
Swedish Pita (4*) - 4 meatballs in a grilled pita, with fresh & juicy cucumbers, tomatoes & lettuce. It was topped with red onions & a cool tzatziki sauce. Pretty good deal for $5, just too bad the meatballs weren't super hot.

Since my pita didn't came with any side I ordered some heart attack fries Quebec Poutine (4*) - piping hot beef gravy fried w/ cheese curd

I notice the dessert case was quite empty so I asked why because I really wanted a Beaver cookie. They tell me they were backed up for tonight . I guess that's what happens when you win Best of New Time's Best Place to Take a Foodie"
Friday night dinner - all 7 tables of 4 tops were taken, but luckily I had reservations (thanks yelpers). Normally the fast casual method works for me but not when they were getting slammed. I had to stand behind a long line trying to get something behind the counter. Food took forever to come out (actually lost our ticket) but luckily the kiddies were happy just dining on Beaver Balls and playing dominoes. Once the crowd died down, the women owner & her son did a great job tending our needs as if it's a full service restaurant.

Service (4*)
Ambiance (4*) just have to overlook the flimsy IKEA furniture & utensils
You get a grip load of food for the price. They seem to be be going through some growing pains with all the new publicity. Still, I can't wait to go back & try out the other Scandinavian dishes on the menu.
