| - I'm struggling with this review. Let me break it down:
Service: 2 star
Food: Mixed bag, I think I was the one most pleased and I rated it a 3.5, the rest of my party probably rated it a 2.
Please note this restaurant is in the basement of a medical building. It does feature windows and OK décor, but still, in a office plaza. They do a decent job of updating signage though. I was never confused on where to go.
The service: The servers were very pleasant, but everything was so slow. We missed our movie thanks to Imani. I guess scheduling an hour for what is basically a cafeteria isn't adequate. They were fully booked, and had three waitresses. I understand that the kitchen is small, the waitress told us as such, but that's not an excuse for being slow on drinks, order taking, or getting the bill. They servers were quite nice, I'm not trying to slam them, but I call a spade a spade.
The Food: I had the red velvet waffle. Far superior to Terrace Café. Yes, I said it. The marshmallow fluff was awesome and the waffle was quite good. The chicken wings that came with it. Nothing special. The greens, probably the best thing on the menu. I enjoyed the cornbread muffins too, but I think I was the one who was most impressed with them. One of my dinning companions had the fried green tomatoes. She indicated they were good, the other companion had the curry chicken. It smelled good to me, but she said it was nothing spectacular and it was luke warm. Also weird is the fact that it was billed as a 'special' but was clearly available every day on the menu.
So to recap - I don't wanna trash the place. My food was OK, but the negatives of the slow service just made me not want to come back. Sorry Chef Imani. Though I was encouraged to see the tables all booked, so hopefully this place will thrive and maybe work out the kinks.
