| - My better half found this place on Yelp and were decided to stop in for a late lunch. Their posted hours are 730a-3p and we snuck in around 240p. We were a little worried we might be rushed, or even turned away (yes, it's happened to us before at another small business which I reviewed on here). Our server (I didn't catch her name) promptly sat us and got us drinks without any rush at all.
We ordered our food and with her quiche, there was a small side salad. Now my better half is deathly allergic to vinegar, so she just put it to the side. When our server came to check on us, she asked if everything was okay with the salad, and we told her about the vinegar allergy, and apologized for not mentioning it prior. She asked if she wanted a different salad, but the quickly realized that all the dressings had vinegar in them. So she offered us not only a side of fries, but truffle fries That was very nice of her to offer.
Not once throughout the meal, did we get an inkling of them wanting to rush us out. In fact, as we were finishing up, we asked for a "to-go" cup for her coffee and the gentleman behind the counter offered us fresh cup for the road. Wow! And he even made her a latte instead!
So we paid the check and on the way out, the same gentleman behind the counter asked if he could have a minute of our time. After that, of course. I figured it was for a customer comment card or a survey. He asked if we had tried any of their fresh pastries and we nodded no (I think he noticed my better half drooling on the glass pastry display as we walked in and waited to be seated). He pulled out a brown "to-go" box and proceeded to explain what each pastry was as he placed them in the box. About half a dozen pastries later, he closed the box, pushed it across the counter and said, "I hope you enjoy them!" He introduced himself as Devin and wished us a great rest of our day. A great meal AND some great desserts?!? Double wow!
There are lots of great places to eat in this fantastic city of ours. Some have great dishes that you may or may not remember, but I think you ALWAYS remember that great feeling of when a business makes you feel WANTED and APPRECIATED. And yesterday afternoon, CRAFTkitchen did both. Thank you again guys! We will absolutely be back.
