| - If you would like to sit down to eat on a Saturday or Sunday, and also enjoy a coffee with your meal, without waiting in 2 LONG lines, don't go here. Don't get me wrong, the food is yummy but that's not enough to bring me back anytime soon.
Let me explain:
My fiance and I went to Sidewalk Citizen after being referred by a friend. She raved about how delicious it was so we decided we had to try it.
We went for brunch, however, because the line was so long, by the time it came to giving our order, brunch had past and I had to decide all over again, letting many people ahead of me... I couldn't consult my fiance about what to to order for him because he was waiting in the long Phil & Sebastian line on the other end of the building. I ended up ordering some cookies , stew, and sandwiches which came to a whopping $60! Add the lattes and that was one expensive lunch!
Thankfully we found somewhere to sit...
After we ordered I was handed a number and realized after a while of sitting at our table that we should have received the cookies by now. I wondered if they were just sitting on a counter somewhere... I was right.. grrr.
Our food came.. we ate... And had leftovers. We asked a staff member serving if we could get it boxed up to go, her reply: "uhhh, ya, I guesss... Do you want me to, like, bring you a box? Or like, do it for you?" - Brutal.
So, in a nutshell, if you want to pick up food to go, this place is fine.
But if you plan to stay, or haven't yet had your morning coffee, I'd steer clear.
