Duck Salad to DIE for///

by Mobetta

I appreciate all opinions, but must say something to counteract the negative review i just read...., I frequent this place and have for a while now...I also waited tables for over 13 years while attending college and grad school...my server experience goes from slinging hash to 5 star restaurants...I feel I am very high in my standards when I go out to eat...I think you should give this place another chance...maybe you had a bad day.

They have some of the BEST pizza in town...ever...i have been to Fuzzy's, Star Pizza and New York...they cannot compare...their duck spinach salad is to die for, you even select the temperature you would like on the duck...i recommend medium rare...and it is just a simple little cafe...some menu items are better than other items...but that is the game in most restaurants. I have had excellent service...EVERY time I go...one time I went with my 11 year old daughter...who loves it...and she and i were celebrating something special in her school...they came over with a free dessert for her to pick out...this is a cafe...no waiters...all staff have always been great and eclectic in their own way which blends in with the place.

It is located in a very eclectic area of Montrose...my neighborhood, and it resembles that in all aspects...it definitely did not deserve your horrible review...

• Pros: Pizza, desserts, and salads
• Cons: Some breakfast items

get a drip

I read a number of comments and they center on attitude of staff/owner/dogs...I think it is pretty funny, actually. The place caters to people who really take themselves seriously. The staff is "on stage", they are the show, the defenders are sensitive people who like dogs and voted for Obama. I first came to Montrose in 1970, It was really unique. Since then, it is a bit over populated by people who think they are unique. Don't worry about it. In a few years, it will change and there will be new high school drop outs exercising control over the temperature of your eggs. Whatever...

• Pros: different
• Cons: predictable attitude

Yes, this place is awful, never come here

OK, I really hope that all of the idiots who wrote bad reviews never come back because I love, love, love this place and would like the lines to be shorter. THIS IS NOT A WAITERED RESTAURANT!!! This is a cafe, you order at a counter (counter service) and they deliver your food to wherever your number is (like Whataburger but not disgusting). Don't complain about the service, the ones at the counter are there to make coffee and drinks mostly so taking food orders can slow them down (so can people complaining about food they can't eat because they failed to read a description on the menu). They do amazing things with breakfast and one of my favorite items is the marscapone brushetta. If your high maintenance please go to La Strada for brunch, if you are a normal decent human being then I won't mind waiting behind you in line for good food. PS, I've been going here forever and I've never run into a dog in the building (patio yes, but they have always been well behaved).

• Pros: umm, everything edible
• Cons: parking
