| - Years ago, I swore I would never go to Demetre again. On this evening, I was with a friend who was on the polar opposite side of the scale as me. She swore by this place, and said it was the greatest place ever and she goes often. So I figured I would give it a shot considering it had been literally years since my last visit.
It was a Sunday night and fairly late, so the place was basically empty. We were seated and served immediately. I ordered the Pomme Pilot on a waffle and she ordered The Fork Awakens. Our hot beverages came quickly and the waffles didn't take long.
The waffle was fresh, hot, and incredible. I was motivated to find SOMETHING to complain about to prove my point about how horrible this place was years ago, but I couldn't find anything. The ice cream was fresh and creamy, the toppings were fresh, and the service was great.
I was reviewing this Yelp page when we arrived to read some of the horrible reviews that it got, basically as a way of reinforcing my point on how I disliked this place previously, but most of the complaints are unwarranted. It clearly states there is a minimum $5 charge per person... you cannot go here, order hot water, and expect to loiter in a restaurant for free. I understand that poor service affects your experience, but typically the people who work at Demetre are young students... these are not the stakeholders or backbone of the company.
Anyway, my opinion has changed. Demetre and I are friends again!
