| - I started writing this review while sitting on their adorable patio tonight, in the dark, when my phone died. Why was it dark? Because they closed early and turned off all the lights, even though there were customers sitting on the side patio.
Let's start this off from the beginning. This was my first time here, along with a friend. We were excited to try something new. We were quickly told to pick a seat, inside or outside, and were given menus. We chose outside because it's been a beautiful, randomly cool day in April. Our waitress, Gretchen, was super nice and informative. Our food was amazing (vegan quinoa bowl for me; cheeseburger and fries for my friend; peach tea for both; and the pretzels to share). Everything was fresh, cooked well, tasted delicious and just overall really good. We were given a box to go for my leftovers, and offered to-go refills of our tea. Yay, bonus points for that. Then it got weird.
The cute little lights over the patio went out. We looked inside to see a worker turning them off. The time on the door says they're open until 8. It's just before 7. Huh? Our server comes out once more to clear the last glass on our table and we ask about closing early, without notice. She says that since they're slow, sometimes they close early. We both say "huh" and that's the end of that. Another server comes out and talks to the other set of customers behind us. One of those poor ladies has to chug her glass of wine because they're closing.
Honestly, this place would have gotten 5 stars from me. But to give no notice to the paying customers already there that you're closing an hour early? What in the world?! We had talked about getting dessert, but, nevermind. Since it was our first time there, I wanted to check out the marketplace as well as the huge blackboard in the back of the restaurant with entertainment and info listed. A huge worry/safety issue was that the young lady that was there to completely close by herself kept the doors unlocked while she counted the drawer. Then she locked up and exited from the back. She was outta there by 7:23.
